I started doing them a year or two ago and now it's become a tradition for us. I love bringing back something their mom did for them and they are SO easy.

I don't get along with my one sibling. (I only have one. haha). My mother and father won't get over it and continually try to force us together and (as a parent... I get it.) So our holidays have so SUCKED lately. I dread every time we "have" to get together. It is straining our relationship with everyone. I DREAD christmas purely because my parents are divorced and we get to have 2 different small gift gathering exchanges over this time. YAY. there... that's what I really can't talk about on my blog. You just got it. btw... love ya!

Also, an old friend of mine from med school and his life partner. The life partner is named Thuan and he is Vietnamese, owns a Vietnamese grocery in Chicago. So...he does most of the cooking while they are here, including Christmas dinner. The business associate is Nirand. He is from India and he cooks too. So...a complete hodge podge. We spend brunch on Christmas at my sister's house, but that is the only American food we eat during the Christmas season. <br /><br />Your family is a lot like most, I suspect. There are some dings on those cars....but we still get around, yes?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049511202014141182noreply@blogger.com
