[QUOTE="oldguy, post: 706137, member: 16965"] It is hard to believe we are just a couple days away. this year Xmas has crept up on us without much notice. Between family members in the hospital (at least this year it isn't thekid or myself) and other mishaps we just haven't prepared this year.:( Normally our family traditions have always revolved around the entire extended family gathering at my parents on Xmas eve after early PM church. the noise is unbelievable but it is always so welcome since there always seems to be at least 6 or 7 kids under 10yrs old. A guy that I played football with in high school makes a stop around 7 in full Santa uniform (he has been doing this for 30 years now) to hand out gifts to everyone. My mom is a cookie making fool for weeks before Xmas and always has at least 10 varieties as well as a traditional german meal of dumplings and roast pork. When we get home later we sit down and open our gifts. Then on Xmas day we spend the morning together usually with an early morning hike including all the dogs (hopefully in snow). the afternoon is a movie and then home for some more relaxation as just the 3 of us. At our home it has been an ongoing tradition to get a bigger tree every year (think Clark Griswald in Xmas vacation). It started when thekid was 6 years old and mom couldn't go with us to cut the tree. Eric wanted a big tree and as we walked thru the woods all of a sudden he was nowhere to be found. I backtracked until I saw just the heels of his boots sticking out from under the tree. He had picked a nice looking tree about 10 feet tall and maybe 6 feet diameter. The next year it was 11 feet tall and about 7 feet diameter. 2 years ago it hit 12 feet high (max ceiling height) and 12 feet diameter. even after trimming the branches off in the back it still stuck out over half way across the room. We had 2200 lights on the tree that year. Last year I had my knee surgery 2 weeks before xmas then thekid broke both arms a couple days later so we couldn't go to get a tree- step in our neighbor who brought in a tree from their yard that rivalled all the others in previous years. BTW Papa I just might try my hand at your recipe. We need something to kick the season in gear [/QUOTE]
