Merry Christmas to you as well! Do you really have 16 brothers and sisters? If so WOW. As for my Christmas plans, luckily this is our year at home. No travel!!! That makes for a pretty calm Christmas. Just my speed. We will have Christmas dinner with my parents. We have cut out a big Christmas Eve dinner which is usually at my house. Still not up to entertaining. My husband and 2 boys are leading up to Christmas watching the old 1960's specials (love those), some Christmas movies and lots of music. Hope your day goes well and you feast and watch movies in peace. Maybe you could call the family and have them pass you around the holiday celebration. Not as good as being there I know, but it might be a way for you to take part in some of the festivities. Happy Holidays~mac
