Friday at our dinner Mom informed us that they would no longer host the traditional Christmas Eve dinner ... and that if I wanted to continue with it they would be happy but if not....it would end. Wow, I remember this happening with my Grandparents and it was the end of seeing all of my father's family during the Holidays. We would never be that close again. We see some of them at the Huber reunion but very few anymore.
This year I will host Christmas Eve. Prior to this two of my sisters, Barb and Cyndi, had not planned on coming home for Christmas. Would this be the end of the old traditions and the beginning of the new? We will see....it is sad to see the process of aging come so close to home.
I am so thankful that I have my children and grandchildren to ease the transition!
