Christmas Day was always one of my most favorite days of the whole year long. My sister and I would wake up early and see what Santa had left us. Then we'd all load up into the car and drive down to my Aunt Liz and Uncle John's home in Mounds, OK, where my mom's sister and her other brother and their families would also gather for food and presents and more food. When we were all together, there were 16 of us. It was always a great day.
