poliphiloThe matriarchs have consulted together and the big family Christmas do- which we were supposed to be hosting- has been called off- because of snow- which means we have rather a lot of potato hash to eat.
Oh- and (cheerful thought) rather a lot of wine to drink.
Here's a major difference between men and women. Women love these affairs- with finger food being passed around and the generations tolerating one another and grandma sat in the corner receiving homage- and men detest them. At least, that's the case in our family. How about yours?

Our family is at the awkward stage of transition between generations. The last lot of kids has grown up but has only just started producing kids itself. If the party had gone ahead there would have been a whole bunch of adults, an older teen, one baby and a toddler.
