Heather and I have been havin' a Dec. 25th "get-together" for 13 straight years now (from the year we met). Usually about 12-14 friends, and it's something we both look forward to so much. Always a jolly time. It's an eclectic mix all right, between eccentric and "straight" folks, Christian, Jewish, Pagans and atheists. Attrition and divorce have changed the picture several times, but it seems every year we ask someone new to join us and that always adds a new dynamic. Everyone brings something interesting food-wise, but I ALWAYS make the turkey....so I can assure that there are NO pieces of onion (shudder) in the dressing!

Yup, that's my favourite Christmas thing.
