My grandmother used to tell of when she was a little girl and her parents would have a friend for dinner who was a physician. That was in the day when physicians still made house calls at all hours of night or day, so whenever he would come for dinner he would ask to eat his dessert first - so he wouldn't miss it if he had to go out on a call!<br /><br />Great post. It's the traditions and memories that truly make the holidays special.

Both are things that will be treasured memories for your family and I'm sure will be passed on to the next generation too.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-48124124990736966402017-11-26T15:35:07.074-08:002017-11-26T15:35:07.074-08:00I guess what I miss the most is Christmas Eve.

Often, there was an out-of-town aunt and cousin visiting there, We'd gather around their tree and accept our gifts. Then, we'd do the same at my mom's parents, followed by the two aunts and uncles. They would be doing the same, so once in a while, we'd catch somebody gone and have to go back later. And of course, they'd come to our house and check out our tree and receive the gifts that we had for them. And, of course, there was food and drink (non-alcoholic) at every home. Christmas day we spent at home, though sometimes one or both sets of grandparents would join us for dinner (lunch, they call it now). I hope your holidays continue to be pleasant and blessed.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-90462393213296375722017-11-26T12:52:00.199-08:002017-11-26T12:52:00.199-08:00A lovely post, Lady Locust.

It's so much better to create our own traditions that work for us than trying to do what everyone else does. <br />Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your family.<br />Nil @ The Little House by the Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812637017406376233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-46594419114262254822017-11-26T11:40:44.842-08:002017-11-26T11:40:44.842-08:00Wonderful post, Lady Locust.
