Sometimes you just have to suck it up and put your
irritation with your mother-in-law on hold—particularly when it’s Christmas
Eve, your toddler is in the room, and you’re wielding a large Christmas tree
like a weapon.
A 21-month-old is in the hospital after receiving a serious
eye injury during a tussle between her mother and her grandmother over a four-foot-tall
Christmas tree, over which they each claimed ownership. (It really is amazing
how often Christmas becomes a time to completely obliterate the Christmas
spirit.) The holiday did not begin auspiciously for the family, as they were
celebrating in a motel after a fire forced them out of their home.
The mother, Sandra Price, is being held on charges of reckless
conduct, and it is not yet clear whether or not her daughter will lose sight in
her eye.
