I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving I was surprised to see my great niece and nephew Lexi and Hayden there Lexi just got her drivers license and borrowed her Mom's car I did not know if we were going to have a meal at home or at McDonald's We had no meal together last year So this year I just went over and found out If I had did that for Christmas I would have had room in my stomach for ham But I went to China Buffet instead Inspired by the movie A Christmas Story We had ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie I don't know what next year will bring Will Mom be in a home? Will my nephew Shane be homeless? But at least we got together

About this poem:
I have to wait and see if we have a Christmas get together. My sister and her kids have boycotted my Mom and Shane and want nothing to do with them. It's a shame because there were 24 people that came over for Christmas back in 2018, 2019 the total was 5.
So glad you had this time with your family especially with the COVID problems this year. Praying for you and all your family McCradloff - a hard year for you without your Dad - I'm sure. Take care.

Hey you made the effort McC, all good. Going to fly down to my hometown to see the family in a week in lieu of Xmas visit, we make it work, usually only 5 of us but hey its a good time.
Hi, mcradloff, ...at least we got together... Spending time with family and loved ones is a special gift and rare these pandemic days. Last Thanksgiving? No. Though we don't know what next year will bring, we know no two are ever the same. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and have a wonderful holiday season.
