This is the first year my three adult children and their families are not coming to our house. My dh and I told them a few months ago that it is time to pass on the baton and they do their own holiday dinners. They each own their own homes now too. It's a lot of work and energy and a lot of activity in our house when we host. I had knee replacement a month ago an my dh is to have back surgery next month so we felt it was time to stop being the hosts. Even tho they invited us to their houses we just want to be home and do our own thing. My dh and my mother who lives with us will be having cinnamon rolls for breakfast then when ready we will be having turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, egg nog, black olives, gravy and pumpkin pie. Those are our favorites. Along with some peace and quiet!!
We still plan to continue hosting our annual seafood fest on 4th of July along with our annual pig roast on Memorial Day with all of them in attendance, God willing.
