Robin Gates with severe haircut and polka dot outfit. Mary Lou in puffy sleeves. Mary Dietrich trying to deal with Mark, tod[d]ler, in her arms. Eveline Morgan serving people, then sitting down. Al Dietrich eating cake with David in cowboy hat. Mark looking scared, sitting between Al and Mary. Outside shots of Babson Park, MA, where the feast was taking place. Winter. Then change of scene: Christmas at Orrington. Kids run out—David, Mary Lou, Mark in pajamas. Christmas tree. Presents. Christmas wears you right out."
