From the Paper:

"Small sounds started to make themselves heard from the surrounding bedrooms as if the house was coming alive. One by one, my family came and stood together by the tree at 4:45 that Christmas morning. The glow from the tree was bathing each person that I loved in a halo of light. As we stood their arm in arm with each other I realized that this was what Christmas was all about. Yes, the delectable food, the wondrous Christmas tree, and the pile of presents as tall as Mount Everest were all nice, but this, the sense of family, of belonging, was what made Christmas the most wonderful time of the year."
