Sacrifice : Lopez Christmas Love

S taying up late making tamales A n afternoon poker game C ramming together in a small house R eminding the young ones how bad we used to have it I nclement weather can’t keep siblings apart F amily getting together, sharing great memories I ntroducing my son to cousins he has never met C radling the young ones as they try to wait up for Santa E xpressing our love through cards, gifts, calls, sweets, and visits +++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Inspired by brians contest "love came down"
