Christmas Day

Christmas Day is rather anticlimactic when you are single and in your late 30s. At least for me it is. We do the big family bash down at Camp Mack so that the rest of the family can do "their thing" with their kids on Christmas Day. I think that is very cool for them and don't be-grudge them one little bit. If I ever have a family of my own I will also be doing my own thing on Christmas Day. It just makes for a somewhat ho-hum day at Mom's place. It's usually me, Mom, and my brother Johnny. Some of the otherfamily members make brief appearances, but it's still pretty lame, oops I meant tame! :)

We start the day with our Christmas socks and some present opening. Here are a few photos from the present portion of Christmas Day...

Mom with a new "generations" frame that included a photo of us all in our shirts down at Camp Mack.

Me with a snowman mug and mug warmer.

Then we do a yummy Christmas dinner. Megan and her kids, my nephew Jake, and my brother Mike were there for the meal. Here's a glimpse at some of the meal prep...

Jake and Mom working on potatoes.

Careful not to chop of your finger there, Jake!

And some cute shots of the kids during the afternoon....
