Merry Christmas...!

Dear son,

Today is the first Christmas with you in our lives. Your mom was feeling much better today, which was a great load off my mind, and we went out to her parents' house. There was a lot of people there: your grandparents from your mother's side, your aunts and uncles, your cousins--and they were all so eager to meet you. As I think I predicted the other day, you ended up with the most presents. It was really pretty sweet of everybody. All in all it was a very nice time, but I'm very happy we came home tonight. There's nothing like your own bed, you will find. Merry Christmas, Nicky.

Love,
Dad
