To Guest Eliza

Thank you for your nice messasge. You are right, often there can be tensions between families. Wife wanting to spend it with her relatives and husband with his parents or other relatives. So usually spent with one family or the other and tensions do arise sometimes because of this.

I do remember several years ago during Christmas time, when I was renting a room in an elderly person's home. He had a son & daughter-in-law near by and he invited me to spend Christmas at his son's house. I did go but did not feel that comfortable around these people (I did not know very well) plus they had another couple over with their kids - so all were talking with each other - but not too much to me. I wound up playing with their little dogs and talking more to their kids - but I did sit on their sofa - most of the time by myself.

Then they went around in a circle each person opening all their gifts from each other - and I felt really uncomfortable - as I was not a part of that.

So...I will find something tomorrow at the supermarket that I can prepare and watch some videos - (I'm not a sports person - so don't get into watching sports) :-))

To Chantey Lass:

Also thank you for your message. Does that radio station from R.I have a web site to hear their music on Tuesday's? Is it all folk?
