3 generations under one roof

With Christmas fast approaching, I am so in the mood for a good old-fashioned love story just in time for the season. Christmas is such a romantic time to me, even more so the Valentines Day.  Perhaps it is because when I was a child Santa and his Mrs. would visit our home, and they seemed so happy. We children would sit on his lap and get out photo taken with the small gifts they brought us just before Christmas.  

As I grew older and realized whom the helpers were, I knew they were one of the happiest couples I had ever seen in my life. I am surprised we girls did not catch on sooner, but that was all part of the magic.  Now as an adult, I miss Mrs. Claus as my dear aunt went to heaven 15 years ago, but Santa is still residing in a room at the local nursing home and not forgotten. I saw him a few weeks ago. On a wall in his room, hangs a photograph taken long ago of Santa and Mrs. Claus with five smiling children. I am the one in front with my lower lips hanging out.
