Linda is Christina's Mother. Every Christmas Eve, Linda invites the Creath family to dinner at Sukura Bana, an excellent Japanese restaurant in Jackson. Fortunately, we are invited as part of the family. First Presbyterian Church holds their Christmas Eve service at 4:00 and lasts an hour, so everyone in the family goes to church together, then goes right on to dinner. Ken and I met everyone at the restaurant. The food is pre-ordered by Nelson so when we arrive, the food just magically appears. The cousins have a wonderful time as do the adults. This tradition of the family gathering together in the restaurant where no one is required to work is excellent. Hats off to Linda so continuing such a fine tradition.
Christmas Eve is always an anniversary for Ken and me because this was the first time we noticed each other. I had organized the young people at church to drive in multiple cars to sing to the shut ins. After we sang at a half dozen older folks homes, we ended up at the Fairbanks for tea and butter tarts. Ken and I have been a pair ever since. That was in 1955. Ken and I have not changed a bit!!
