I do enjoy the stories of other peoples families. Makes you feel like you know them a little better. We spent new years at home but my one of my sisters and her husband came to spend it will us. Made the holiday extra special. I have 5 sisters and 1 brother. I am the middle of seven. Not a bad place to be. I enjoyed being in the middle. You didn't have to break ground and you didn't have to be the one afraid to leave home and leave them by themselves. lol
