This year we were unable to get together for both Thanksgiving and Christmas due to weather. But we have celebrated Christmas in July simply because we could not get together earlier than that. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite excuses to eat too much and to get together with the family to simply enjoy each other's company. I am not so hot on Christmas -- for reasons I described earlier. I thought we had come to an agreement several years ago to buy no presents. Each year, someone violates the pact -- big time. This year, it was my mother. But I did discover that I thoroughly enjoy spending time with them. Like almost everyone else, we allow busy-ness to interfere in our enjoyment of life.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-52071109816716564742008-03-02T23:50:00.000-06:002008-03-02T23:50:00.000-06:00Did I miss the explanation of why xmas in March? ...Did I miss the explanation of why xmas in March?

And I must admit that her good cheer is always a tonic for the family.<BR/><BR/>Jackie -- I agree with your assessment of Huber's. I have been dining there for about 30 years now. It is one of the only places where I do not feel out of place ordering Dom Perignon with my turkey dinner.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-61004084497563409992008-03-02T18:44:00.000-06:002008-03-02T18:44:00.000-06:00Huber’s is a great restaurant.

I work about 4 blocks away so I do get there once in awhile for the great turkey sandwich or Thanksgiving like plate.<BR/>They recently made the bar non-smoking which is great since we traditionally have a Christmas get together there, co-workers and retirees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-10234957372710202872008-03-02T10:28:00.000-06:002008-03-02T10:28:00.000-06:00Your mom sounds like a real character!
