An Ault Christmas in Tennessee


This Christmas Jeremy and I went down to Tennessee to spend the holiday with his parents, grandma and triplet brothers. I expected to have a good time, however nothing could have prepared me for the giggle-fest which ensued! On Friday, after everyone had arrived, Jeremy's parents decide to give Jeremy and his brothers their main present. With the boys stilling out the couch, out came three identical bags and Jeremy's dad ran to get the video camera. What was so special about these gifts that they did not want to wait two days until Christmas day? All three of them reached into their gift bag at the same time and pulled out a large, black CD case. With confusion on their faces they unzipped their CD cases and instantly a huge grin spread across each triplet's face and a laugh escaped. Inside were DVDs of home videos, not just from their childhood, but also their parents. Needless to say, the entire four days in Tennessee were spent watching these videos, laughing together, and remembering the good times they have had together. Occasionally they would get a call from their younger brother, who was unable to make it but was also watching his own set of home videos. These are the moments that make the holiday season special, and I would like to wish all out family and friends and Merry Christmas, where ever you may be!
