The Holiday Feast

Howdy all,
(Picture above is Coby, Suzy & James's Golden Retriever)

Shaq, Reese, the Mook and I all hope that you and your families are having a wonderful holiday season. We certainly are.

Each year on Xmas eve my Montana family (it is nice to have lots of families around that have adopted you) gathers at Suzy & James house for the traditional Spaghetti Feed and Gift opening extravaganza.

In previous years Peter has come up with me and made the Fondue, he was unavailable as he is spending Xmas at his partners family in Ohio. So we were all a bit nervous about the Fondue this year, but Molly (of Molly & Nick fame) had kept a sharp eye on Peter's technique over the years and did a wonderful Fondue. So potential crisis was averted.

Joe who came up from Austin (I flew him up and he will be driving back with me) is an expert Egg Nog maker (no he does not go down to the store and pick up a gallon of Egg Nog). So he made a huge vat of Egg Nog for the festivities. I of course proceeded to partake and just parked my self by the vat.

There are a few traditions that I have for the Holiday season. First is the Holiday Snap Shirt (shirt with snaps instead of buttons, incase you don't know). Each year I go out to one of the western ware stores and pick up the seasons shirt. This year I am feeling very patriotic and of course proud of our next President. (ok, I won't get into one of my political tirades. You are saved for now) .


The second tradition is the "Family Photo". Of course there is the "Serious photo" and then you have to have the "Fun Photo". I always get fun hats or such things for the photo. This year was Mexican Wrestling theme.




And of course you can tell the success of any party by the after party activities. Needless to say it was a success.
