So, I never made it home ever to see everybody. Now that I have CRPS, I'm not able to go, because of my pain. And having so many in my family, it would really mess everything up to try to get everyone to come here for Christmas, so for their sake, I won't mess up the traditions that we have established for years in terms of whose house everyone goes to on Christmas eve and Christmas day. Like you, it's been years since I've been there with everyone.
I certainly know the situation of not being able to go home for the holidays while in the ministry. I have an uncle who is a priest down in Missouri. He's retired now, but his dedication to the church through the years has left him unable to come home to Michigan except on a rare occasion.

How wonderful that you also get to celebrate your wedding day all in one. What a great holiday celebration. What type of Chef is your friend?
Thank you for the Happy Anniversary. Is my husband trained? What is there to train? We get along wonderfully, share nearly all the same interests, and do almost everything together. Sure we drive each other mad from time to time, but there is a strong connection between the two of us that we both usually know when to give in to each others wants and needs. I guess that means that we are both trained.

My friend that is a chef actually only went for her associates degree for self satisfaction. She mostly cooks solely for friends and family for gatherings. I never actually asked what she specialized in. All I know is that everything she makes is some of the best food I have ever tasted. She was originally supposed to be my Maid of Honor and cook at our wedding reception, but unfortunately she ended up in the hospital a couple of days before our wedding and left us scrambling to figure out what to do. The whole evening was kind of a disaster but we all just had fun and laughed every time something didn't go as planned. I think she feels so bad about that, to the point that she comes over every year around this time of year to cook for us. She enjoys doing it for us anyway.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas

Sweet! I just love it, when some one else cooks. I grow tired of toaster waffles. And I don't think they'll work for me as a Christmas dinner!

I truly hope that you enjoy Christmas with your family. Sounds like fun!

Now that is the way a marriage is to work... You and your husband are an ideal model. Sweet!

Great thread Spike. I am enjoying reading everyones Christmas plans. I did a separate thread, which seems rather redundant now, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! ~mac

Today I decided, heck with the pain! I am going to get in the holiday spirit. I have my Santa hat on, a cute Christmas outfit on and trying to bake Christmas cookies. I will be paying for it I'm sure, but I am not letting this monster steal all of my Christmas traditions!
