Thanks for making me part of your Christmas celebrations! You know who I think of today? Martha Mary Troy Dolan. She was my dad’s mom, my grandma. I called her “Nonnie Martie.” She died on Christmas Eve of 1976. It was my first Christmas as a priest. We should remember those people who have been such a cherished part of our Christmases in the past.
