I hope that your Christmas is even better! Tis the season to indulge and selebarate. You don't have to have a big congregation, it's the love and affection that goes into the event that maters.

By and large it's a very liberal gathering and we like to get into family discussions of politics and world events. From a very left wing perspective most of the time

The sweat potatoes were there for the taking but trust me they never so much as touched my fork for a second. I love potatoes but for some reason sweat potatoes almost make choke
