Overstimulated


December 24, 1960. My Mom remembers Santa bringing only one toy for me each Christmas. I remember more. Here's a post-Kūčios, gift-opening session at which I received at least three gifts. There's a top, and I got a telephone so I could be just like Mom. This also is the year when Santa delivered the skunk.

Ah, look! It's Christmas Eve, and Tatjana has put on a dressier housecoat. Tatjana's habit of wearing housecoats drove Mom batty.

You mean I get all this cool stuff besides the pretty tree?

Cool!

Who came up with this idea?

PS Last link (Tatjana's habit of wearing housecoats drove Mom batty) loops back to this post.

It should direct to the "housecoat" search, and this post would be the most recent one. Scroll down, and you will see more.

You can see how the war years aged her, poor lady.
