Christmas 2012

December 24-25, 2012 — For the third Christmas in a row, I had no snow or slippery roads to contend with in my travels to share the holiday with my extended family spread out over two states. There was some concern for Christmas day, when light snow was forecast, but instead we got light rain that ended before noon.

I spent Christmas Eve with my sister's family which, like most families, just keeps growing. After a buffet, at least 20 people pack themselves into a small living room for gift opening, followed by a loud, boisterous, hilarious Yankee swap. The next day, Christmas morning, many of us congregate at my niece's for her traditional Christmas breakfast. Following that, I headed north where I enjoyed an exceptionally good baked ham dinner and another gift exchange with my nephew's family.

As always, all our activities were recorded by my camera. You can see the results at this link:
