One Christmas back before Marilyn's dementia wasn't too bad but still in the time frame when Lyle was moderately ridiculous with his bipolar mood swings, the two of them were bickering about something silly, which I can't recall in any detail. He stomped out to the car to leave -- Christmas activities had concluded at that point -- and Marilyn stomped out after him, yelling "Merry Goddamn Christmas" as she walked out the door. We all immediately had a giggle fit and have exclaimed the saying every Christmas since in her honor.
This year I decided to create a lovely Christmas decoration for everyone in the family to ensure this glorious memory lives on.
