I agree. But when you can laugh at these things, it makes the memories more precious. The Christmas my uncle was tramping across the roof to make pretend Santa noises for the kids in the house. Santa took a tumble, and the kids learned a few new words of the four letter variety. Any Christmas with the entire family present, and only one bathroom. And this Christmas, when an auto accident took out power to the whole area on Christmas day. Coleman stove and candles. All the neighbors saw light at our place and came over, glorious catching up with friends. What Christmas probably should have been in the first place, but would never have been if not for disaster.
