The Moth
The Moth Radio Hour: Menorahs, Presents and Palm Trees - December Holiday Stories

I grew up in a little small town in New Jersey called Delanco. It was a little small town, 2,500 people, mostly farms. At that time, there wasn't Walmart or big stores or anything.

When I was visiting my friends who were also home from college, I would steal their mom's fancy catalogs and bring them home and cut out pictures of stuff. My mom always wanted a green Jaguar convertible. I found a picture of one of those. I cut out pictures of gold and diamonds and jewelry.

The Moth Radio Hour: Menorahs, Presents and Palm Trees - December Holiday Stories

There was one night toward the end of December, close to Christmas, when we're sitting there in the living room watching the TVs and the Charlie Brown Christmas special is on. One of the TVs hooked up the cable and the other one gets the antenna so the sound doesn't quite jibe up, you know. And we're sitting there just right next to each other on the couch. We're world's apart. My mom's exhausted.

I've been trying to get her to sell the house for years, because I knew it was just too big for her to be in by herself. It was too big for the two of us to be there. If I'm being honest, it was too big when all four of us were living there. I don't know why they got it in the first place.
