Nieces Emma (left) and Sarah (right) and nephew David.
My mother and step-father Otto always indulged me
and my sister around the holidays, saying, "Christmas
is for children." We didn't ever seem to have enough money
generally but Christmas was always extravagant and it took
a long time to open all the presents--one by one in a highly
ritualized and drawn-out fashion presided over by my sister.
Now she has three kids of her own and she's still the mistress
of ceremonies. Four years after this was taken, Sarah is already
pretty much an adult and David isn't far behind. Hold on, Emma!
