TAPS: For some good reason we will never know, those gifts were stolen. You know none could or can steal the bond among you, your son, and your husband. See, you have been afforded the opporunity to share the blessings of that morning for longer than most of us will.That's the story of that day. HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Well, with your first-born in your arms, I can't imagine the loss of the presents mattered all that much to you at the time, or to Bob. But it is annoying to be robbed, particularly at Christmas, and especially after spending all that time wrapping, something I find about as enjoyable as a visit to the dentist...

Oh my Gawd Taps... what a terrible thing to happen but like the others said at least you had each other and the baby :-) and that was a blessing. I wonder sometimes how anyone can do something like that on Christmas eve... and that was 49 years ago! so I guess things, bad as they are, have not changed much. Sad. Take care of you sweetie... have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New year.

What a beautiful site, gomedome does excellent work
I can't understand any one looting after misery such as floods, hurricanes etc. and certainly not Christmas Presents. You paid a price for that sweet boy, I know he is worth every bit of it. God bless and a Happy Birthday to him too.

At least you got to keep the best one for yourselves...
I guess meanness never takes a holiday. Hope the following Christmases were much better.

Taps
I suppose the “good” of that day out-weighed the bad but that’s one of those irk me kind of stories. Why do people do that anyway??? Very cool new look, Taps. Aren’t you clever?
