Like many other families, my family has traditions that we parade out on the holidays. We make special foods; we buy some special little gifts; and no matter what else we have to do we always meet at Marie and Tom's house on Christmas eve. It's the highlight of the Christmas!
David is demonstrating the traditional 'who are you people?' look in this picture.
Happy little Christmas tree meets guy with strange tree fetish.
This is almost good enough for a Christmas card. Man we're good!
These three were caught going through the trash for empty bottles.
We don't know who they are but they seem happy enough.
Hey, that girl got in another picture!
I don't know why these two are smiling...they are both on Santa's naughty list for two years running now!
Bunny has no idea she is part of a mime lesson here.
The food is almost never hot; the desserts are usually demolished by the kids; someone inevitably will spill at least one drink; and no one really ever wants the musical underwear they just got.....but it doesn't matter. None of that matters. Because that's not why we're there. That's not why we rush through other obligations and shopping expeditions just to get to their house. We do it because we actually love being together. We don't get the chance to do that very often anymore...not like we used to...so it means more now than it ever used to mean.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
