Christmas Day was a thrill for the kids and the parents alike. The Cazzato children were instructed to not go below the staircase landing until Mom and Dad were awake and were further instructed not to wake Mom and Dad until 6:30AM. Believe it or not, they followed those instructions.
The big gifts were Ugs boots for Juliana, a digital camera for Joseph, toys of mass destruction for Marco, and an American Girl doll for Maria. Everyone got their top request from Santa. Grandma sent from Kentucky two webkins for each kid. They seemed quite pleased to receive these gifts and Maria was especially happy to not get a stupid red dress from G-ma this year.
The mother-of-all Christmas gifts, however, went to Kathleen who received a Mac Book Pro laptop computer. This I bought in Miami during my trip this month to the U.S. Kathleen will now be free of the annoying malfunctions rampant in the home PC and also be free of competing with the children for computer time. She can now be expected to face-book in style and set new record scores on the bejewelled on-line game.
Christmas mass will be the subject of the next blog entry. For Christmas dinner we went to our friends Matt and Michelle's. They hosted several families from the neighborhood who were spending Christmas in Suzhou. We had a great meal and some very nice company for the holiday.
Merry Christmas and God bless you all on this most special of days.
