Christmas was pretty
subdued at the Erickson house because we were ALL sick. We had coughs, colds,
chills and all of that fun stuff. We were so miserable, in fact, we told almost
everyone to stay away. Annie and Dale braved it and got sick. They passed it to
Darin. Marie and Steve braved it and got sick. They went to bed early on New Year’s
Eve. Travis and Diane were willing but got snowed in. So did Frank. Mom managed
to escape it but ended up with something else in the hospital. She just got
home today. This is one Christmas none of us cares to repeat.
