After more than two weeks of keeping Ally at home they finally sent her back to school. I suspect more just to get her out of the house than to believe that she was well enough – but Clair had wanted to wrap gifts and has asked Jaime to assist. I did not assist as I was in the back room listening to Roland.
Clair says she has always hated
Christmas – though I don’t know if “always” is really the case or if perhaps
she found something good about it when she was a child. When she met Biff and Ally she fell in love
with Ally and started to look forward to spending Christmas with her. I didn’t see what gifts they brought but I
suspect may have gone over budget – but maybe not. They did not purchase all that is intended
for Ally. But still . . .
When the boys were younger we always
had simple Christmases. That is what we
could afford. Of course there were three
of them and only one of Ally. We may
have gone overboard on Jaime’s gifts when it was just her. And other people would also contribute. There were many years that we were the
recipients of “sub for Santa”.
It’s going to be an interesting
Christmas this year.
