All of the very best memories of Christmas involve family. Our main tradition through the years has been to gather at 'Grandma's' house on Christmas Eve. First, for me, was Grandma Epps' house. Then, when it became too much for Gram, we moved the festivities to my parents' house. Once our branch of the family moved to Missouri, I became 'Grandma' (literally, Tessa was born the first November we were there).
Now, we're back spending Christmas with my parents and brothers and sisters, as well as spending holiday time with the Aitchison family here in Washington. Our children are forging their own gathering traditions as their paths take them different directions and their children grow older.
No matter where we gather, nor our numbers, we always enjoy each other. Every year. I love my family.
