The Christmas Robe Deborah Laurent

The love we have for our family, especially our mothers, transcends across generations, bringing a piece of them with every generation, even if we don't know why ""that"" tradition exists or where ""that"" tradition comes from. The love that we have for Christmas is tied to the love we have for our family, wound within the simplest of gestures, stories, and precious memories. The Christmas Robe takes the journey of one person's memories, through the reminiscing of childhood, through to the functions of becoming an adult, on through the relay of parenthood, and eventually through the loss of a parent. The Christmas Robe shows the preciousness of life and holiday traditions when faced with changes and struggles, all through a mother's love as we all face the question, ""How do you want to be remembered?""
