Sharing Merry Christmas images (Updated 12/25)

We're collecting Christmas-related images from around our family. Send us yours! We start off with the tree at Birch Street Headquarters, nicely decorated by Christine and Andy.

Kathy sends along this picture of decorated trees at the New York Botanical Garden, after a Christmas Eve visit there along with Patrick, Genevieve, John and Beatrice.

This photo of Kathy posing with Bea and Leo was taken earlier in December, but it certainly belongs in a Christmas-photo collection.

Gerrit posted this Christmas Eve photo with the caption: "The face you make the moment you remember that Santa is coming tonight! Nolan is ready!"
Nanette is visiting daughter Courtney in Florida, where they posed for this photo with two of their friends.

In Maryland, Hugh writes: "Dolores and I are at Deep Creek Lake for Christmas. We have a small tree here--not quite like Charlie Brown's.

"Though Christmas has come, winter has not! The ski slopes are green, and the temperature is more like Christmas in New Zealand. Dolores says that if we can't make a fire in the fireplace and watch it snow this year, we will have to make a fire and watch it rain." And back to Birch Street, where Andy and Christine carried on the Christmas tradition of opening presents under the tree.
