More Christmas Past.....

I remember Dad taking me and Jo Christmas shopping in Annapolis. It was cold and wet, usually, and also, usually, Christmas Eve. We would shop for Mom's presents. I, usually stuck to Evening in Paris.....you got so many little blue bottles for your money (cheap perfume for you young'ns). Then, we would head for a hardware store where Dad would buy her gift and stocking stuffers. Jo usually got her a bathrobe...Jo was so young, Dad would choose it for her...but I was older so I picked out the Evening in Paris myself.....poor Mom.
