On Sunday we had our big family Christmas get together inclusive of cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, nephews, niece, parent and grandmother. Sadly, not all of my family could be there because of work and other family obligations, but it was a wonderful time nonetheless. Since everyone came from various parts of the Piedmont (Central NC), we had our Christmas gathering at my Grandmother's house (as tradition dictates), or rather now in her retirement community's clubhouse; a central location for everyone. It was a wonderful place to gather, and I'm sure the seniors in this gated community were surprised to see young people traipsing about in their domain. LoL. Our Grandmother, the family matriarch, headed the food line and we spent the afternoon eating and catching up. The children had fun playing together as the adults looked on and remembered when they were children at these gatherings, being chided away from the dessert table and running around playing hide and seek throughout the nooks and crannies of Grandmother's house. It was wonderful to see the circle of life continue these beautiful passages of time.
From Our Family To Yours.... 
Happy Holidays And A Prosperous
New Year!
