It IS Christmas


Christmas was a wee bit different this year primarily because a majority of the family was somewhere outside the United States; Kate and David in Australia and Hennessy in Paris to be with Jeff and Jessica. Being resourceful we just imported more "family" from New Jersey, our great friends The Sawanoboris. Christmas Eve found us with 50 friends eating our traditional turkey sandwiches and sipping on Gloria Ferrer Champagne and then...just before bedtime...I pulled out the tattered (and often hidden) "The Red Ranger Came Calling". (Some things never change.) Bill and Keenan sat attentively through the entire reading and NEVER complained. (Some things DO change.) The following morning after we dragged Keenan from his bed Bill set up his tripod to take the traditional "family rounding the corner from the bedroom wing' photo and decided that due to the small number of family, he could actually squeeze into the shot this year. Kevin and Pauline came over around lunchtime and then the remainder of the day was spent alternately eating and napping. Happy New Year gang!
