Idea--Art or No?

Christmas time...

We celebrated really early. Christmas is a big deal with our family. This past weekend, most of us got together to celebrate, eat a little food, and open a few presents. It wasn't exactly the Christmases of my younger days, but the concept was the same. about 30 of us (half) crouded around a table formation to chow down on everybody's usual...Nancy's cookie salad, mom's pumpkin bars, a little ham, lots of potatoes, and the black olives (they managed to hide a jar or two from us 'kids'). Being part of the 'adult' crowd now, Christmas is completely different for me. I am no longer in the kid drawing (I used to think I hit the jackpot), and instead am in the "Woman's drawing", from which I managed to get first pick and a cool decoration to put in my house. (I guess that's part of the 'adult' thing--I get excited about decorating my house and receiving things for my kitchen!) All in all, it was a good time, some competitive "Tripoly" playing and long-distance phone calls to those who couldn't make it home this year, and of course lots of pie. I've decided that even though it doesn't happen like it used to, adjustment can be tolerated, it's the things that can't be changed that really matter.
