Sounds good! Just my bride, her mother, and me today. Big thing with wife's family was Christmas breakfast. We had smoked boston butt, scrambled eggs, and hot biscuits with pork gravy. I ate way too much as usual. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| Never heard of buttermilk pie. What's in it besides buttermilk and what is it like? Maybe a regional dish? Maybe you'd like to share a recipe? |

Well,,we had our 3rd oldest Son and his GF from Texas and me and the wife. The oldest and the youngest boys had to work and the other two could not travel so we were like some others with a big table, lots of groceries and 4 people,,,,, The wife gets kinda sentimental that the ALL Boys and their families cannot all be here,,,,SO,, I have to tell her,,"Thats just the way it is",,,and try to keep the peace,,,,,  Just means more groceries for ole Joe,,,,,

All of your Christmas dinners sound wonderful! Beginning I'd say.....8-10 years ago(?), with the family expanding, and sister needs to have "a Christmas" with her inlaws, and another one with work, and another with friends, and friends we wanted to have, and kids in college, with girlfriends, etc.......it just got to be too much. Now days, on Christmas day, we gather at Mom and Dad's around 12-1:00, and we eat massive munchies like: cocktail shrimp, potato skins, mozzarella sticks, wings, cheese and crackers, etc. etc. Not that it's all bad, I mean the company is what is most important.

Yeah,,,times are changing around us old timers,,,and the only'ist thing we can do is try to roll with the punches and go with the flow,,,, The wife yearns of the days of old and gets upset that we can't have a houseful of family and everybody having a good time with lots of cooking going on,,,,,,I try to tell her the boys that have their own family now have to spend some of thet time with the Other side of their family,,,, it's hard,,,,,I tell you,,,it's hard,,,,

| I was lucky in that when my wife's parents were still around, they lived only 2 miles from my parents. So even when we lived out of state, one trip "home" could cover both families, and it was even easier because my wife's family tradition was Christmas Eve, and my family's is Christmas day. #2 son's girl lives 350 miles away, so if she's "the one", that will certainly complicate things! |

We had 'Christmas' early at the youngest daughters on the 21st and we did like Tbone95 says, nothing but snacks. Had about 40 people and still had LOTS of left overs! We had Christmas day with my Mom (93), her younger brother, and my older sister and her hubby. We had pizza cause that's what Mom wanted. Worked out real well. Joe, yep,,,,,,,times are changing and we have to go with the flow. Kinda makes me mad at times too, but such is life. We KNEW they'd grow up and leave home,,,,,,,,so we got nothin to grouch about. But yeah,,,,,,,,,it's HARD. I miss those days with wrapping paper all over the living room. Now it's at THEIR house, so I don't have to clean up I guess. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

 Just about all of us want things to be like they were.  But stop just a gal darn minute think how you would feel if thier 45 and still living in you basement. And where lobbing to move thir baby momma in and her other babies from before in too. Then you could be  . So count your many blessings that they are living their own life as a responable adult. An if your really lucky you got grandkids you spoal,an then you send them home so you can take the nap the grand didn't want.I am very blessed in that all 4 grands are less than a hour away. And we can count the other grandparents as friends too.

AMEN Ray,,,,,, no matter how much we all holler at our own kids, we just love em to death!! And when the start their own lives, we have to undo the apron strings and accept the choices that they have made. The same as OUR parents had to. Life goes on and it's WONDERFUL!!!! Enjoy every second of it, cause we are all living on borrowed time. LOVE em and give em Orange tractors so they won't forget us. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??
