The Christmas Box In 1995, Lori purchased four sculptured boxes and filled each one with memorabilia reminiscent of each of her siblings' childhood. Miniature typewriters, baby bracelets, tiny telephones, and black and white photographs all found their way into the treasure boxes her sisters and brother opened on Christmas Eve. Also in each box was a handwritten poem she'd written for them. The Christmas Box This box was made with you in mind and bits of love is all you'll find. I've gathered them from years gone by Memories that sometimes make me cry. Each one I make .. I make with pride and leave my special thoughts inside. You are my family .... I Love You so and with this box I'll let you know. Just keep it near you, through the years To help you dry those "lonely" tears. For when you hold it to your heart You'll know deep down, we're never apart. Family is Family Love is Love They go together .... Said the man from above.
