Christmas 2009 was memorable for several reasons. My family came from around the world to spend Christmas together. They came from Europe, Japan, New York, North Carolina and various points in Maryland. My mother was in the US, my husband was also here, my brother was home from Japan (after not being here for umpteen Christmases) and the East Coast experienced one of its biggest snow falls on record.
We did the usual rounds of visiting family, as much as the weather would allow as the snow, although very nice to look at, impeded everyone’s ability to get around. Dinner at my niece’s, get together at another niece’s and brunch at my house. Some were sick, kids were having a ball, grown ups played Skip Bo, Scrabble, pool. There was much to eat, drink and be merry about. Always good times!
Then the Holidays were over and everyone headed back home. Until next year! Maybe it's time for Christmas in warm and sunny Trinidad & Tobago!
