Sheriff Roland:
Oh yea - ta continue
Then on Boxing day (That's a real holiday in Canada - an English tradition, but we francophones don't mind another day off too) Daniel & Denyse have always hosted the boxing day meal.
I have a large familly - we were 8 brothers & sisters, my dad was from a familly a 8, my mom was from a family of 11, and most of the aunts & uncles settled in Timmins - so growin up, we would start visitin each other's houses on saturday & sundays 2 weeks before Christmas and it would last until mid january until we had had supper at all the relatives places! a bit a that tradition has been maintained, My other sister (with kids) who lives in Timmins, usually offers up a New Year's Day dinner - but I'm usually back in Toronto by then

Sort of - Gaëtan lives in Toronto, and Jeannine lives near Toronto, in Niagara Falls - they didn't make the trip this year
And another brother André hasn't made the Christmas gathering in a few years either - usually visits in early december - from Montréal

some things I am sure he will never understand...but that is ok too...
(in particular a little wore out yellow nightgown...I mean it is a rag...but it was Britney's favorite nightgown...or the little white blanket with a satin edge...she would rub that satin back and forth over her upper lip..comforting herself when she was going to sleep.)
