Brother Quote by Tommy Hilfiger

Every Christmas my younger brother Bobby would wake up extra early and open everybody's presents - everybody's - so by the time the rest of us got up, all the gifts were shredded, ribbons off, torn open and thrown aside.” quote by Tommy Hilfiger — Download Open image
