On Christmas morning, she meditates, then hosts a family celebration, opening stockings with her sons and grandchildren. In the dining room, a white-bearded fairy rides a chair back. Red ribbons, red candles and red amaryllis mix with garlands of greens, golden balls and, above the mantel, a huge, handmade star. The table is set with Christmas china and red and green goblets. Garlands of greenery decorate the entertainment center.
Huge bells hang from doors leading to an outside patio.
And nearly every table displays some treasure - a Santa Claus, a dollhouse, a Ralph Lauren bear in a Polo coat. And here, on Christmas, they open presents. There's lots of music, lots of cheer.
