I recall my younger days, as I was growing up in North Carolina, Christmastime was my favorite time of the year. It was not unusual for 40 or 50 people to be crowded into our house on Christmas Eve, singing, laughing, sharing gifts and food, and making memories.<BR/><BR/>My family and I are going to be in North Carolina just after Christmas and my niece is planning a party like yours while we're there. I can hardly wait!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing.argon(one)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14999865522648026263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-21749439519091854782007-12-23T20:42:00.000-05:002007-12-23T20:42:00.000-05:00Sounds like a marvelous time - and sounds like you...Sounds like a marvelous time - and sounds like you have opened up some of your Christmas gifts already- the gift of memories....<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15279097751133383753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-63513096125058611622007-12-23T20:25:00.000-05:002007-12-23T20:25:00.000-05:00Merry Almost Christmas.Merry Almost Christmas.niobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10685766216611639434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-46042713146442738292007-12-23T19:26:00.000-05:002007-12-23T19:26:00.000-05:00We had a similar night last night at our house!

I don't have any family in Ohio, but we had my son's roomates and friends over with all of our kids and we ate Chinese and played Catch Phrase and laughed and lit a fire and watched football... It was so much fun.<BR/><BR/>Our house is also not spacious and I always wish it were roomier, but there is something nice about bumping up against one another and rubbing elbows. :)<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas, Jo(e)!
