well christmas is over with. it seems like a shame that all the sales happen after christmas. it's almost like we should out smart the stores and exchange gifts after christmas, that way we can buy twice as much!
it was a nice a quiet christmas this year though. ever since we've been getting older, it's been getting quieter and quieter. i remember when i was younger, we would drive up from newburgh to saratoga to spend the weekend or close to a week at grandma's. my mom is the youngest of six kids, so you can imagine what christmas dinner was like. there would be a minimum of 5 grandkids for dinner itself, then for desert, another 6 grandkids would be added to the mix. 12 grownups and grandma. it was always crazy, but so much fun because there was always someone new to talk to or play games with. i always enjoyed it. now adays, we are so far away that it gets so dull after a while. so if anyone is about to complain about the craziness of the holidays, where there are people sleeping on the floor because you ran out of room.... remember how nice it is to have such a big family that spends the holidays together.
