My family celebrated Christmas early for a couple of reasons... my youngest son and his wife were able to be here this weekend but not over Christmas. I am also scheduled to work on Christmas Eve and so will not be able to with the family except on Christmas Day. Fortunately our family is used to these re-scheduled holidays.
So the traditional meal of Swedish meatballs, mashed potato, corn and raspberry jello with the trimmings of pickles, black and green olives was enjoyed by all. Then, after dishes were done, we retired to the living room to distribute and open presents. As an added touch, we Skyped our daughter Shawna and included her in the event. Our grandsons dominated at first but soon a TV show gathered there attention and our daughter was able to focus on the opening of presents.
It was a fine time of fun - savoring each gift and watching others as they opened theirs. Then we topped off the evening by watching the film - "Stupid, Crazy Love". It was fun.
