Merry Christmas! What did you get today? Among other things, I got four sweaters and new headphones. Aaron got the cats a toy that imitates a flying butterfly.
After that, it’s mostly been Mom preparing to make dinner. I’ve spent lots of today crying. It’s hard to get by. Here’s another picture from before we opened presents.
I love you. Have fun, or savor something nice. I don’t think I can give you much cheer today. Mom has made bread — there is something good. It smells very nice. Enjoy the evening. Enjoy whatever Christmas dinner may be. Mom wants to go to Hawaii next year; perhaps that will feel nicer. It’s now been seven years now since I last saw Mom: happy anniversary. I hope it didn’t do as much bad to you as it did me. We will have some more cheerful Christmas someday. Until then, you must have a cheerful Christmas, and I must try the same.
With love,
Alice
