What a great Christmas present for Aunt Ethel who shows up at your house with a lousy fruitcake on Christmas day and gets sloshed on the rum punch before you carry her into the guest bedroom.
She can bring it back to the home the next day and show all the ladies in the sewing circle what a wonderful family she has and how they put this scrapbook together for her out of eternal gratitude for her benevolence over the years.
