What a memory this is for me. I remember us having this Christmas gathering ever since I was an early teen if not younger. It has grown so much and we grow each year with a new generation of kids. We are up to almost 50 family members and we all make it to this gathering unless you moved out of town or are in the hospital. Janice has so much fun with all the grand kids and shops for them year around. She makes them all a goody bag with lots of wonderful gifts in them. They also give each grand kid and great grand child a "food" gift. Most of the time it comes from Sam's. They get the BIG size of something they really like. All the time she must spend getting all that together for us. Janice, We all appreciate your hard work and time spent on putting this Christmas together for us. Their home is small but it is ALWAYS big enough for us. Suzi...We are glad your family is back in home! I know this time of year you are fanasizing about Florida and the weather but we're worth it! This is my favorite gathering of the year.
