Santa Boss Is Coming to Town

In a first, Mom's side's fearless chieftain donned a Santa hat on Christmas. Too good a pic to not post. She's shown here after opening a particularly merry tribute envelope.

Every time she started getting crabby, I'd throw another one at her; she'd spend five minutes counting the cash over and over, and then she'd be happy for about 10 minutes... Repeat cycle.

Thankfully, it kept her calm. Hope your nonliturgical festivities were as eventful.
