Traditional Christmas

After not being here last Christmas, the boys were happy to have a traditional Christmas. We have our traditions, but just bring together makes it special too. I went grocery shopping, I made chowder, we made Chex mix, Marshall did some shopping, we watched football and some folks watched the movie “A Christmas Karen which got some laughs. 

The chowder turned out well, but I served it a bit cold…. But we had a nice table set and a fun dinner. The boys even dressed up. We had a family pool tournament with lots of laughs before opening presents and enjoying grasshoppers. 

I sound like a broken record, but it is not lost on me that we are able to continue our traditions in our home while many of our friends and neighbors cannot this year. Having all four of us home and sharing our traditions with Claudia and Matt is a privilege this year. Let us not forget our good fortune as we head into the new year.
