Three Beautiful Things 12/25/06: Prime Rib, Memory Basket, Santa after Dawn

1. Mom and Christy and Carol cooked the finest prime rib dinner I can remember.

2. As a Christmas gift, Christy made a basket of family, friends, town, and state memorabilia for me to help trigger remembrances in my writing. I'll be posting pictures of items in this basket and pictures that were in it over the next week or so.

3. Mom told the story of her family's car getting stuck in the mud after a Christmas Eve program at the country school and not getting home until near dawn and Mom was surprised Santa hadn't come because it was almost dawn. Her mother told her Santa could only come if/when children went to sleep. Mom went to bed. When she awoke, Santa had arrived and her gifts were under the Christmas tree.
