It is finally Christmas Eve! I smile at everyone gathered around the living room. They all seem so happy. I am so glad today has been great.

It has been a peaceful day today. I look at the girls and smile as they play. Something is trying to breakthrough my mind though. What am I missing?

"IT IS THEIR FIRST CHRISTMAS!" I get confused looks from everyone "They were born in May! This is the girls first Christmas!"

Everyone is silent and then everyone is rushing around. How the hell did I forget that? How did all of us forget this? Does this make me a bad mom?

"CALM DOWN!" We all look up at the grandmas "What is going on?"

"The girls first Christmas is this year!" Eyebrows slowly raise "What? Did you not hear what I said?"

"You all are about to extreme decorate the house for that?" Nancy motions around the room "It looks so wonderful! Why would you want to change all of this?"

"Cause it is a first Christmas" I giver her a confused look "How did you all do first Christmas?"

"Well" Alice and Ann share looks before turning toward us "It was a weird Christmas"

"We did not really do anything" Ann frowns "We did not have a lot of money that year"

"So what did you do?" We are all sitting and intently listening "How did you make it special?"

"Well" Ann smiles over to Alice "We dressed up as crazy disco people and sang for them"

Alice nods while smiling happily. She seems to be remembering this very fondly. They both seem so happy right now. A hum starts and Alice looks over to Ann.

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Someone's always playing corporation games
Who cares, they're always changing corporation names
We just want to dance here, someone stole the stage
They call us irresponsible, write us off the page

Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
Built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

It's just another Sunday
In a tired old street
Police have got the choke hold, oh
Then we just lost the beat

Who counts the money underneath the bar?
Who rides the wrecking ball into our guitars?
Don't tell us you need us 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools

(I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday and I'm seein' that bumper to bumper traffic.)

Don't you remember? (remember)

(Here's your favorite radio station, in your favorite radio city, the city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps.)

Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll
