It just so happens that us Condies have tradition of celebrating Christmas. We gather together as a family and we tend to eat goodies with an abundance of fat or sugar. At some point we exchange gifts ( ones nobody wants or needs but we all usually spend more than we intended). I can't explain why we do the things we do. It could be our Scottish heritage, or maybe it's because my father worked at a nuclear powerplant during our formative years.
We held the family party at our house again this year. I guess it just works out that way. I mean, December is the month we clean the house anyway so why not invite people over?
Grandpa and Grandma brought a couple bottles of 25 year old brandy for the white elephant exchange. We had an employee years ago that knew we were LDS but every year would give them a fruit basket and a bottle of brandy.
All of our best sides.
We want to wish all of our family and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I was planning to, but Rex and Dee took the brandy back. Who does that? Bring a preasant for exchange and then steal it back?
