Agreed. Sometimes a day like that can be quite rejuvenating. Christmas or not, I like quiet days with no one around on occasion.
When I was a kid we never had Christmas at home. We always had to go to my uncle’s house where my Mom’s rather large (I had over 20 cousins alone, to give you and idea of the throng) family gathered. Christmas Eve festivities, then to midnight mass, crash wherever there was room, then total insanity on Christmas morning. Go home later Christmas day totally wiped out. I hated it. I swore when I had a family of my own I would never have Christmas anywhere else - but home. Both the wife and I agreed on this early on, so our Christmas’ are spent at home and have been for over 30 years. I wouldn’t have it any other way. -D > On Dec 27, 2017, at 4:28 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > My day was a tale of nothing.
