Happy Epiphany! Exchanging gifts at Christmastime has traditionally been associated with the example of the Magi presenting gifts to the Christ Child. And so my tie for today shows many gaily wrapped presents! Today also marks the 104th birthday of my mother, Ethel Howland (York) Kleppinger. She died in February 2000. When I was growing up we always kept our Christmas decorations up until 6 January, and I didn't learn for many years that the date was anything special besides Mom's birthday!
