Since we lived away from the greater family (just the four of us), this eventually translated to my daughter and I going to the movies in the after noon while dad and the young man stayed home and enjoyed whatever sporting events were on tv and cooked. The best tradition is what works for you.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15195838412173806659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-69386948765895610362017-11-25T18:24:21.049-08:002017-11-25T18:24:21.049-08:00So glad to hear you are getting involved in Tucson...So glad to hear you are getting involved in Tucson!!!

I'm still in love with Christmas, I guess. Of course I do my best to share this love with others. That feels good too.<br />There is so much to admire about you, Linda. You are a blessing to many.

Hubby and I have never made a big deal about Christmas, because we don't have any family to worry about. My sister and her nephew don't do much either, but she has grandchildren and will probably send them presents. I have other siblings who are very involved with their respective churches and do many very good things at this time of the year. I am so proud to be your friend, Linda. :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-20942614301855110252017-11-25T15:38:53.312-08:002017-11-25T15:38:53.312-08:00Hi Linda!

And yes to your new volunteer adventure. We also have a large number of undocumented Hispanics here in the southern Californian desert who are been terrorized by ICE. Thom and I joined a group called "No One Stands Alone" who also attempts to help let people know their rights when it comes to immigration issues. Really important work. Your area will be very fortunate to have you...and yes, Thom and I need to work on our Spanish too.
