• With the Christmas season comes the whispers and secrets that, after a "sneaky" shopping trip, gradually materialize beneath the laden bows of the tree. And with little siblings, it definitely gets even more "sneakier" and the need for secrecy is even more vitally important! I love to see Stuart, my 6 year old brother, snuggled up close to Mom, pouring out all his little ideas for presents into her listening ear, with the occasion side glance at me, to make sure that I am not eavesdropping! And of course, since I am the oldest sibling at home right now, it's the most exciting thing for them to try and think of the best presents with which to surprise me. Doncha love it...

  Stuart came scooting up to me last night with the excitement of a brilliant idea on his face. He came up close to me in the chair I was sitting, and quietly told me, "I'm going to get everybody ONE present...but I'm going to get you TWO!" Ah, that boy breaks my heart!
