Ready To Go

We are packed and ready to make the second of our three trips to New England. This is my favorite time of year because I get to see my granddaughter every few weeks. My daughter in law's family celebrates Christmas Eve with Chinese food. I do not know how the tradition started but I like it. It seems like an offshoot of what Jewish people do on Christmas, just without a movie. We will open our Hanukkah gifts as they open their Christmas gifts. I will also receive my belated birthday gift. The best gift of all will be a hug from my cute little girl.
