It was a good Christmas! Was yours?

We had 73 relatives show up today, and it was a great time. We ate (pictured is the table of food with MOST of the dishes placed; at the table at the back you’ll also see all the crockpots of food), we all sang Christmas carols, and then my Uncle David read something he put together. Every cousin had shared with him an unknown snippet of something funny that had happened to us, and everyone called out who they thought it was while he read them off. It was such a good time. This morning at my sister’s house went well too. Hudson got a kid’s turntable, and I marveled that they bought their own child an incredibly loud toy. How was your day?

There are 230 of us, but not all can make it for Christmas, of course. My dad is the 15th of 16 children. Merry Christmas, my friend!

I worked with a woman who was the youngest of 11 which I thought was a lot but she didn't really know her oldest siblings as they'd already moved out on their own by the time she was born so she only met them on holidays. 230 sounds like a whole lot.

73 relatives, that was a full house, & a lot of food to make sounds like you all had a great day together. We didn't have any 1 come to visit so it was just the 2 of us we ate a decent meal & watched some tv & that was it.

Yes, nothing better than having my son here for Christmas. He can be very trying at times, but in the end there is no hiding his good heart. I am glad you enjoyed your Christmas too.

73 , that is impressive. I think I met all 20 family members in my life not close to 73 times. Much respect because that is hard to pull off. You must have some good family leaders.

Oh my goodness 73 relatives is a very large number. We had a quiet day, our sweet neighbors visited us, they are so much nicer than my own brother and niece.

What a fun day you had. My son and I went to his ex wife's house and we had the fun gift exchange, ate a delicious Scottish made feast, and relaxed enjoying our day. Merry Christmas!
