The “Holiday Season” is coming. Many people will travel thousands of miles to see people they love or hate. How are the family get togethers for you? On a scale of 1-10 (ten being great), how is it at your family get together?
Tell us your family story!
My Mom was the big family gatherer and has passed on. My Dad,now 80 yrs-hobbles around but won’t really drive. That means we must go to his house which his new wife (who I do love but is a pack rat) has taken from a “model home” to a piled junky mess. She also smokes while cooking-ugh!
We started a tradition of going camping in the dessert and burying the turkey-we hike and play hide and seek in the rocks at Joshua Tree Natl’ Monument. The food comes out great and we have good times-and also avoid being mean to the rest of the family. I arrange a big dinner before Christmas as my BD is in December-we have my parents and brother out and have a great time-that seems to work-so we stick with it.
