In today's Adam @ Home, equal opportunity strikes.  Father Adam says
"Merry Christmas", mother Laura says "Happy Christmas", daughter Katy
says "Happy Christmas" in return, and Laura later says "Merry
Christmas".  (Son Clayton just says "Thanks, Dad", and infant Nick
merely relishes his gift of an empty box.)
