A wee bit of Christmas
My mom and our daughter were both ill so things were rather quiet this Christmas. We went to my cousin’s house for the extended family Christmas Eve celebration. That was at noon and I think there were perhaps 30 of us which, believe it or not, was on the “light” side as several were ill…
