    So we'd spend the weeks that lead up to the major family gathering
    by remembering all the things that each member did in earlier years,
    that really pissed us off.

    We always had great fights!

    Merry Christmas.

    Family get together
    In years past when my grandparents were alive, all the family (aunts, uncles, cousins, etc) would come to their house for a meal and presents.

    Now that they are gone, we still do a smaller version at my folks house.

    May get snowed out this year...keeping fingers crossed.

    Christmas
    We enjoy chapel on Christmas Eve, our daughter is playing the harp this year. :) We then have some yummy Thai food. Incredibly, the surf is usually up right in front of our house on Christmas Day. We only have good surfing in our neighborhood about 15 days a year and one of those days is Christmas. So.... while I cook **** and our daughter will surf with the neighbors.

    Mele Kalikimaka!

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    WORK
    I get to work Christmas day boxing day and new years day. For years a bunch of high schools bring in their home ec sewing machines for me to service during Christmas . I have to get them done as some of the church schools run sewing projects for their students in the second half of christmas hols. I suppose it keeps me out of trouble:) Ron.
