It was a small group again this year. Maren's family came down with COVID. Tucker's family spent their money for the holidays on Hawaii. Lynda Ann was missing two. Emmi on the aircraft carrier and Abby on her mission. I think the only family that had everyone was Mindy's. I fix ham and funeral potatoes along with veggies. Lynda Ann brought the layered jello salad. The table was set with the Christmas dishes and everything looked very festive. We started at 6 p.m. Had a delicious dinner and then gathered in the front room where Neal recited the Christmas story from Luke. Then we passed out the Christmas stockings for the adults and for the grandchildren. We also gave them their Christmas book and a CD to go with it. Everyone went home except the Gertsons who stayed and played Telestrations. They hung in there until about 10:30 and then headed home. Mallory had worked a 48 hour shift with a 30 minute cat nap somewhere in the middle. She was exhausted.
