Christmas Eve is the holiest night of the year for us. After a simple meal, the grandchildren, with parents, read “The Night Before Christmas” in the living room while we grandparents light a roaring fire in the den. Only burning tapers are visible on the mantel beside a dimly lit tree. Silent Night plays softly. My parents’ miniature silver bell rings in the celebration. The grandchildren scramble into the darkened room to find their gifts. One special gift is a tenderly wrapped weighted box. It is no surprise. The grandchildren know this double-layered box holds grandpa’s famous orange chocolate fudge on the top layer and crunch peanut butter fudge on the bottom. It is tradition.
