This is what Jack said as he was teaching Sally to hang ornaments on the tree. Yes, we FINALLY got the thing up. He came RUNNING home from J&J's and screaming!!!! He could see the lights from the street and raced up the stairs to see the tree. Bill left to get dinner and as Jack and I hung ornaments he said "I love Christmas." I wanted to say "yeah, well - keep it to yourself - not all of us feel that way." :-)
He just melted my heart as he taught Sal how to hang things. So patient but yet insistent that she do it herself. After we got it all up they set to playing cards (we found Christmas Old Maid) at the table. It was SO cute.
Ya know, I saw Jack tonight as the brother he will always be. I joke a lot about him being a monster - and he is - he works my last nerve pretty good. BUT - he also works my heart pretty good too. I could learn a lot from him -how to push Sal without loosing his cool or doing it for her. He really has a gift.
