This Christmas was unusual in that I only made three gifts. Normally I make a whole load of home-made gifts. But this year things didn’t quite come together, and there just wasn’t time to make a lot of hand-made stuff. So I only made three.
The first was a DVD for the grandparents of home videos and a slideshow.
The second was a book for Harry (Wyatt’s dad). It was a book of images I took at Stan’s funeral. Stan was Harry’s handicapped brother who passed away unexpectedly in July of 2007. I know Stan meant a lot to Harry, as evidenced by the fact that in the six years previous that I had known the Christensens, Stan was at every holiday or family event. Harry often went to visit Stan (who lived on his own in Provo) and would spend time with him taking him to church or the movies or out for a burger. I thought he might appreciate this book. I think he did.
