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
