She isn't donning any jewelry at the moment but my mama is without a doubt going to make a show stopper with one of her pieces that Uncle Hector so lovingly paid for last week, later on today.
A typical Christmas with this lot.
After another thirty minutes of endless chit chat with my mother and Diamond while watching in gleeful delight as my sister chopped on those peaches, I am finally done with my daughterly tasks and enjoying my third glass of champagne.
Ever heard the saying look now. When I was younger I used to stand in the same room full of the same people- my family , my friends, friends of the family, wondering if they liked me.
I have never been the pretty pageant beauty like my mother and sisters, soaking up the oohs and aah's and tenths of gossip.
I could never stand the chit chatter like my cousins and their parents did when they all got together this time of year, even if it was just small talk.
