A Christmas to Remember The snow had fallen, December had come. The door to the basement had been flung open, and box after multicolored box was lugged up the stairs as the basement was expunged of every last piece of holiday decorations.

something happy. It’s a tradition I always hoped would never fade, but sometimes new traditions come to mix with the old and soon you can’t recall of a moment when they weren’t in tandem. Two years ago one more tradition was added to our little Christmas affair and a year after that something extraordinary happened because of it. The night was lit by only my phone screen and the street lights that zoomed past. The singing is what made me nervous. I’d made Olivia and Norah go through the songs at…
