| My contribution to the feast |
Today was when my side of the family celebrated Christmas.
Mrs ERJ was feeling under-the-weather so I went "stag". Five pounds of cooked mac-n-cheese disappeared. I saw two kids where that was the ONLY food on their plates.
There were seven tots whirring around the house. Three of them were between the age of two-and-three. It seemed like far more.
White Elephant gifts were exchanged.
I ate too much. I would have enjoyed myself more if Mrs ERJ had been there, but she was not available. I left earlier than if she had been there.
ERJ, having been to a few "social" holiday events in ages, I am surprised at how quickly I overeat. I need to work on this side of self-discipline more.
ReplyDeleteSounds like about three kids in that age range at coffee hour after Communion service at the Glennallen Catholic Church in Alaska!,
ReplyDeleteI envy your extended family functioning relationship. So many of us don't have that anymore .---ken
