Christmas is always bittersweet. My parents tried very hard to make a happy Christmas for us but it was difficult because there were 12 of us kids, plus my dad was a heavy drinker. My mom did most of the nonstop cooking, cleaning, shopping, wrapping etc. but my dad always found something lacking so we usually ended up crying. He would gather us together and tell us everything was okay but we knew it wasn't....Still, they tried and I appreciate that.
