My nieces basked in the affection of two parents, four grandparents, an aunt, and an uncle. I'd given them most of my gifts the night before, so I was not competing for their attention. (I reserved just one gift, a donation of small farm animals to an impoverished family made in the name of my elder niece. With some help from her parents, I think she may be old enough to understand and appreciate this gift, now that she's listened to
Little House on the Prairie...)

The elder one enjoyed a turn in her own custom-made inversion machine:
This wood sledge is decked out with fresh holly and ivy for the season:
Love, joy, and chaos abounded. What bliss!
