Happy holidays

It sounds so cliche, but it's true. Christmas really is about family. It isn't about presents, it isn't about decorations. It isn't even about the "Christmas Feast of roast beast". Family is what counts. I was blessed this year to have almost my whole family with me for Christmas this year. We hosted early, as we are leaving for Cuba with, again, almost my whole family tomorrow. Despite the fact that I seem to have absolutely no clue how long it takes to cook a turkey, everyone still had a good time. Thank goodness that I remembered to have snacks. A little bit of shrimp ring can tide almost anyone over. I was proud of my family. Usually we are a bit dysfunctional around the holidays, and everyone was fairly well behaved. It was a lovely evening. I hope that we can continue the festive feeling for the next week in Cuba.
To anyone who still reads this...
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year....
And God bless us, everyone.
