Paul, I think you've seeing some old family movies of mine !
For the past five years or so we've traveled to my mother-in-law's house to celebrate. Now, she's getting up there, 70+, and doesn't cook as well as she did when I first met her,13 years ago. I'm picturing her now, standing before her over-stuffed, industrial sized freezer of long expired food stuffs, carefully planning and selecting the morrow's feast. I don't know what will be on the table. I do know the kids will hit me with their bale stare Daddy, do we have to?. Yes, a bit. Because the food isn't what's important. So, my wife and I will share a secret chuckle or three, the kids will get over it, and mom will be happy to have a houseful of family, even just for the weekend.
Honestly, when she asked what we wanted for dinner, we said, dinner reservations. But she's not having any of that.
So, Paul I don't know what we're eating, but I do know what we're having and that's a great time. And if Paul TGO gets on here a boasts about his fare, he may have more company than he can handle.
Although I could go for an ice cold pilsner or two and some fun with the kids and be as content as a man can be.
Happy holidays everyone and count your blessings.
Mike
