I do miss the contagious enthusiasm – no, the frank and outright hysteria – of having little ones around at Christmas. What I don’t miss – staying up until two am, putting together toys that require an engineering degree to assemble: “Fold tab ‘A’ into slot ‘B.’ Bandage fingers. Tabs must NOT be folded before securing strange-piece-of-hardware ‘C’ to threaded spindle ‘D’ which is made out of really soft metal. Make sure subassembly ‘F’ is in place. Oh, we failed to include that? Requires type XYZZY batteries, not included, not available in stores.” Followed by the pittypittypatter of the littlebitty hysterical feet, beginning at 5 am. “Go back to bed!” Up at a civilized hour, light the fire, make coffee, and wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
