For the Christmas of 1892, Andrew Borden got invisible slippers from Lizzie.  One can see these slippers if one views his murder photo as he is lying on the sofa. 

Abby got bronchitis, which Lizzie enjoyed more than Abby. 

Emma got tired of waiting around for the old folks to get it and went out of town for a while.

Bridget got out of washing the windows, in fact until March.

And Lizzie got the feeling that something was hanging over her.

  You forgot about those lovely iron bracelets Lizzie got and her own special private room at that club in Taunton.

Oh, and that new hairstyle that Lizzie gave to Abby.

That really close shave for Andrew.

The alone time she gave to Emma for about a year.

And the new living space for Bridget.

Lizzie's present one year was when her nemesis, Hilliard *got his* one December 30th, 1912.
And her opponent, Knowlton *got his* one December 18, 1902.

Let's hope nobody got the bright idea to get Lizzie a new hatchet for Christmas that year.

I think someone did.  They couldn't resist.  It was half off.
