I should buy cute napkins. Festive ones. Billy's teeth are atrocious. Very crooked and very dirty. Classical music is playing and it is mellow. Now I have put Nana Mouskouri sings Noel. This is a classic Noel album I grew up with from as far as I can remember. My parents were always very creative and kind for christmas. Every 22nd or so december the door bell would ring and we would rush to find santa claus' bag (huge red bag) filled with presents. We would excitedly touch everything and empty the bag and put the gifts under the tree until the 24th midnight. 

However horrible I believe and harsh my childhood was, I have come to realize my parents were sweet at times and truly did their best with what they knew. They spoiled us with gifts on birthdays and Noel. Chocolates , delicious ones, on Easter. Valentine cards on Valentine day as children and candies next to our breakfast bowl, with a trail of cinnamon candy hearts from our bedroom door to our breakfast bowl....
