Christmas changed from year to year

Today my column is about a frantic mother trying to figure out how to get Christmas together for her four children.

Home delivery wasn’t an option in 1982, nor was sending greetings over the Internet.

This is my account of Christmas preparations in that distant year.

Somehow things got pulled together. As I pulled out my hair, gifts made it under the tree. Thank goodness Santa made it to our house on time.
