Throwback Thursday, Christmas Edition
December 17, 2015
I was hunting through the photos looking for an appropriate Christmas-themed shot when I found this one. It made me smile! So, without further ado, here are my Mom and Pop, Christmas Eve, 1984. Mom was 73; Pop was 76.
When Mom and Pop moved to their retirement community, our traditional Apres-Midnight Mass breakfast morphed into a Christmas Eve dinner and present opening extravaganza. Apparently the wine was flowing on this particular Christmas Eve and Mom decided to sit on her own personal Santa's lap. Look at that expression on her face! I have a sneaky feeling that Pop may have given her a Christmas goose.
