Nancy didn’t get her “White Christmas Eve.” In fact it is almost a shirt sleeve day. We’ve spent it quietly here in the White House. Patti arrived at 6 P.M. and at 7 we were on our way to the Wicks for the Christmas eve dinner that has become tradition with our families. It was as usual—fun evening—Cindy played Santa this time and we all sang Xmas Carols with Charles at the piano.
