Christmases Past

Tweet

I don't need to be Scrooge to know the fun I had as a child, or even as an adult with my family at Christmas. There were some good times. One of the more recent and growing more distant with each year was the year we couldn't gather as a family on Christmas. It was the year when two of my children joined my parents and had a good time. Only my youngest son refused to join in the festivities. His reasons were and are valid. However, the reason we couldn't get together was because my mother had bronchitis so badly that year, we didn't get together until January. It was the best Christmas ever. Because our family isn't small, my dad got permission from the church they attended to have the potluck in the church fellowship hall. After the meal, we went to Mom and Dad's to open gifts. What I liked most about that Christmas is how everyone got along. No arguments. My daughter enjoyed herself and my grandchildren did too. She also tasted some of Dad's homemade brew. I don't recall if it was beer or wine. I think it was wine. I know Christmas is over, but with the weather the way it is, some people are still getting together for their Christmas celebrations. I thought I would tell you about my favorite late Christmas. What is your favorite Christmas past celebration? Thanks for reading. The image belongs to me from that celebration. This is most of us at Mom and Dad's. I took the picture.
