                    [Summary] => 
The last Christmas with my mom in 1975 was spent singing Christmas songs in our dining room. How we crooned to my mom’s delight as all the seven siblings, then aged 19 to 10 years old, gathered around my brother who played the melody in the Yamaha organ. At times, mom accompanied the songs in the piano and even sang with her beautiful soprano voice. Each sibling sang a carol or played a Christmas piece in the piano. I can’t remember now if this was an unwritten family rule that Santa Claus won’t bring a present or we just loved to sing carols as a family. 
A tinge of sadness overcomes me now as I long to go back to that last Christmas when my family of origin was still complete. Those wonderful memories remain alive in my heart.
