Fortunately, there are enough folks in the extended family who enjoy entertaining, so I'm usually a guest vs. hostess. Good on you for taking this on though - I know you will be a big part of everyone's memories, and that is so important!margarethttp://misformisanthrope.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22674490.post-69128905206077782682009-11-28T17:43:10.525-05:002009-11-28T17:43:10.525-05:00Nothing ever stays the same..I miss our big family...Nothing ever stays the same..I miss our big family gatherings...now all my sibs and myself are busy with our own kids n grandkids and we all do our own thing.

They bought all the food precooked and cleaned up too! I was ever so grateful...I usually end up with all the mess. LOL. I thought we were having xmas here too this year but my SIL is thinking of having it at her house. So not sure yet. Lucky Im easy with last minute planning! Not much of a stress head at all.
