Two of our three daughters were able to come by Christmas morning (middle daughter had to work a double at the airport both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day). After presents, we played electronic Trivial Pursuit (comes with a DVD for the wedge questions) and I remembered--my girls cheat! Then Wednesday we all went to middle daugther's new appartment to have Christmas again--this time with her fiancé and family plus youngest daughter's boyfriend joined the fun. Food, presents and getting to know each other a bit was nice. We followed that up with a trip to the White Mountains to see my mom, Norman and 100 year old Gramma. Again, laid back and peaceful. Christmas without stress is wonderful!<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://jlcary.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Abundant blessings,</A><BR/><A HREF="http://jenniferlynncary.com/" REL="nofollow">Jenny Cary</A>Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00282306699437598730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1168010461065524162007-01-05T10:21:00.000-05:002007-01-05T10:21:00.000-05:00Calvin's just like me!

We used to rip open little holes and then tape them back up. And of course go snooping as well. <BR/><BR/>We had a nice Christmas, opened presents in the morning and then went up to friends for dinner. Us kids (everyone under 30) teamed up and played Monopoly. My goddaughter and I, the two Malias, were together and kicked Monopoly butt to tune of well, we kicked butt. LOL Those are two traditions I look forward to every year. :)Malia Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499024480211211142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1167865148512675762007-01-03T17:59:00.000-05:002007-01-03T17:59:00.000-05:00We do a huge Christmas Eve breakfast with the grow...We do a huge Christmas Eve breakfast with the grown children, grandchildren and the two still at home. My husband makes menus, which are filled out earlier, and keeps up early to start cooking. We had 25 people over for Christmas Eve breakfast, counting us. <BR/><BR/>Christmas Day we open presents with the two left here at home, and in the afternoon go to my husband's ex-wife's house (weird, I know) for dinner.<BR/><BR/>The season is always busy for us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04089903053496930165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1167838627131583452007-01-03T10:37:00.000-05:002007-01-03T10:37:00.000-05:00I had family coming out my wazoo for Christmas.

Technically, the 12 days of Christmas go through Jan 6th, I read, so I'm declaring Jan 6th my magi day. Christmas decs can stay up until then, and I'm allowing myself a magi movie, one last Christmas movie on Sat.<BR/>Now I know why my parents hid our presents until the morning of.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470283761189392205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16906700.post-1167785220453883892007-01-02T19:47:00.000-05:002007-01-02T19:47:00.000-05:00LOL!

No Santa this year (finally) so we did our traditional Christmas Eve for the first time with our girls. It was fun, but poignant in a way. Another landmark. Then we went to San Francisco Christmas Day to be with friends—another first. It was an interesting holiday. :-)Dineen A. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560463944362266736noreply@blogger.com
