Ronda's Christmas/Nativity Obsession

To my sister Ronda...

Dear Ronda,

For years we worried about your pig collection. Your home was overrun by pigs...pigs everywhere..pig statues, pig knick-nacks, pig clocks, pig dishes, pig linens, pig yard art... your daughters worried that you seemed to be obsessed...

But -- little did we know. The pigs were just the beginning...a symptom, really...
Because -- THEN CAME CHRISTMAS...
And I realized that setting up your nativity collection was a full time job for the entire month of December...
Every table, every chest of drawers,
Every shelf, every surface...
There are dozens, scores...
Big ones, little ones...on the floor, in every room in the house...
Where there used to be a pig -- NOW there is a nativity set...
Unbelievable...hundreds of nativity sets...
Nativity snow globes...nativity ornaments...
Every space has a nativity...inside and outside of the house...
The good news, Ronda, is that YOU SHOULD BE GIVING TOURS of your nativity collection. It is THAT impressive. But the bad news is that you have an addictive personality.

Really, hon. First it was the pigs -- and then it was the nativity sets...and we both know I haven't even mentioned your #1 addiction...

But I'm about to...because it's something we need to face, together...
