23. well it really didn't matter much in the end...

Mon Dec 26, 2011, 01:31 PM

Dec 2011

the kids were happy no matter what, my mom was happy to have her holiday dishes and everything *her* way, and my banana cream pie was more like pudding, but tasted just like my grandmother's (mom read me the recipe from grandma's betty crocker cookbook, after the first attempt with an internet recipe failed)

did you ever notice how we in the US are so 'programmed' to think ONLY about the stuff? Is it just a capitalism thing?

anyway, had a nice afternoon evening with the family units, and i was very surprised that this year nobody was mean or nasty, just pleasant times all around...

now i get to prepare for New Year (and my bday!)
