".
. . So This is Christmas . . ." John
Lennon
Here at the Stock Brun Berhaut household, Christmas is our favorite time of
year.
On the left, it's dinner time on Christmas Eve 1996 at La
Bellanderie. Alex was not yet a gleam in his
father's eye. Within six months we had married and
moved to Santa Cruz! Busy year,
1997.
Perhaps the real meaning of Christmas can go astray at times . . . .
1996 above: 1997 can be seen here
1998 on the right
1999 on the left
. . . . or maybe happy children is the real meaning of Christmas?
Not
forgetting happy parents!
"Joy to
the world, all the boys and girls!!!" Three Dog
Night.

approving the results in 2000.
Decorating the tree happens in our household on November 26,
Mamie Régine's birthday.
She is no longer with us, and neither
Charlie nor Alex ever knew her, but on her birthday we try to decorate the tree and the house.
