Sadie looks like she is ready for Christmas this year.... at least someone is! Grandma Lilly is flying in today from Florida - at age almost 90, she's having her second "First Christmas" (last year, she hadn't a clue as to what was going on!). She told me a story about when, as a child, she hung up one of her socks (stocking) having heard from school mates that is the way to get a gift for Christmas - but, the next morning, her sock was empty! She was bitterly disappointed and confused... however, her Jewish mother had no clue about the "sock" not having ever experienced this tradition. That was the last she thought about it. She has a giant stocking hanging in my living room, have to figure out how many apples, oranges, nuts, and other stuff I can get in the 4 foot stocking for her, ha! Eric and Felicity will be here tonight.
