Totally understand the stress of wanting to pull off a lovely holiday, but when you've been up for nights attending to people in need, something has to give. These gloriously vibrant pics of all your grown kids, and the little piece of winter heaven in which you all have chosen to live, are what bring Christmas joy to your friends far afield.
