Where is everybody today?

My family and I were out of town. Just got back from a Costco trip in a nearby city. Made a day of it.

Just logged in to the forums to see if my responses have gained any traction.

Nada.

Don't know what to do now. Maybe CF?

Good family time though I don't envy you a trio to Costco. My big day was Christmas with 14 family members over for dinner. Oldest 81, youngest 6. She and her 16-year-old brother, and mother belong to me. Then there are a son and his wife, and a grandson, two sisters. three nephews, a brother-in-law, and my granddaughter's husband. A wonderful day.

Our big day was… well, two days, both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

Christmas Eve we had family and friends over, from 11:00 am onward, for an early Christmas dinner (mid-afternoon) and then socializing over drinks. That was nine people—a lot for us, so I can’t imagine 14 people.

Then Christmas Day began with just us—our little ones actually slept in until 6:00 am, if you can believe it—starting with opening our stockings. Then an extravagant, very unhealthy breakfast consisting of pancakes with a wide range of toppings to choose from. (I chose mashed bananas, strawberries, and whipped cream.) Then the grandparents arrived for opening presents around 10:00 am, which was followed by several hours of more socializing over platters of food—a variety of crackers, meats, and cheeses, and an array of treats like Christmas cake, shortbread cookies, butter tarts, etc.

Way too busy for us, as a couple of introverts, but it’s only once a year.

I had a lovely holiday though, glad to read everyone had the same.
