Christmas Gift Memory
I love the huge tree with all it's lights, the bright colors light up the cold nights. My aunt's special gift, always gave me a holiday lift. A little box was waiting just for me, every year was $5.00 not a bee. First year married she went crazy with two gifts each, my husband had a nightgown of peach. He had no words~no speech, for the name tag I did reach.

Note: This really did happen.
My aunt put the wrong name on the tag/box.
We laughed until we cried.
When I called her,
she could not believe she had done it.
We laughed about it until she pasted away.
It made that Christmas and each year there after.
