Influenza!
Well, the O’Brien household has officially been infected with the (highly contagious) flu. Sissy has it and the rest of us have to take medicine to try and prevent us from getting it. Hopefully she’ll wake tomorrow feeling better for Christmas and none of the rest of us will wake up with it.

A truly wonderful email from my mom...
The one gift that I especially take pleasure in is to Blanca.  She called tonight.  I sent her also your pictures from ADPi…you’d have thought they were gold!  She was so excited and tells her friends “they were so little and see how beautiful they are now”!  She wanted to be remembered to you and recollected days with Nannie.  THIS, my Loves,  is the magic of Christmas! ...
