Pat loved the holidays It’s safe to say.
He loved cooking and he loved making other people happy. Pat would delight in chosing the loudest, most obnoxious gift he could find. He would literally giggle when the batteries were put in and the thing just banged on. I don’t remember exactly when the tradition started, but Pat would bring the largest box they make full to the top of Archie Mcfee’s miscellaneous knickknacks. Every year! Pat’s nieces, my daughters Lily and Georgia loved getting these, but so did my nieces and nephews. We would get fighting nuns, bugs, and Sigmund Freud dolls and a hundred other things. good times were had by all. Pat gave me a magic eight ball one year, and a fancy foot massager another. Some of the best gifts I ever got, definitely the most memorable.
