A Miracle on Christmas morning

On December 24 Grace woke up with the worst feeling of being sick...she didn't eat, and slept for most of the day. Stomach problems and a temperature of 101 by 6 pm. Our annual gift exchange and visit with Mina and the Polon/Ching household had to be very brief. My beautiful Christmas Eve dinner of dungeness crab, tamales, and potatoes au gratin was eaten by Betsy and me...Grace couldn't even sit at the table. She went to bed (again). Santa came. She woke up at 5 am on Christmas morning and wanted to eat: canteloupe and pineapple! She was completely revived and well, and the day began, just like it was supposed to.
