Christmas 1947 was a tough Christmas

Alyce, John and Gerald pea had a Mother in the Hospital with a New Born that showed up when the Angelus was ringing. Mother & Child were hospitalized for up to 7 days at that time, so A,J,& Gp were Home Alone.
  • As I recall, Dad & Hughey Malloy came home on Christmas Eve with a Fully decorated tree that had a "Gimbles" sign attached to it.
  • Alyce threw more tinsel on it, John scrambled for more lights, while I played the Piano and recited "The Night Before Christmas"...the three of us were sipping Egg-Nog as I recall.
  • Dad and Hughey were having High-Balls in the kitchen
Christmas morning we awoke to NO gifts under the tree with the Gimbles sign on it...A,J&Gp asked Dad, "where did Santa put our presents?" Dad said...
  • "your Gift is with your Mother and his name is Michael..."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE BROTHER...AND YOU OWE US A Gift!

Make sure Birthday Boy doesn't give you my missing cowboy boots! Or Mother's basketball. He has been known to be a flagrant regifter.
