>> the story of christmas is about the birth of baby jesus but for my family christmas was a time for rebirth and the reason why is one year when i was five years old my father passed away that was one month before christmas. of course the tragedy hit her family very hard. not the least of which was because my mother was a stay-at-home mom suddenly had to keep a roof over there on —- over our heads. she hadn't done that before. so she was at a loss to figure how she would keep a roof over her head and of course with christmas a few weeks away how she would maintain the spirit of christmas that she could do
