December 24, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Making Memories.

We are always invited.  .  Linda Creath, Christina's mother, takes the whole Creath family and us to the best Japanese restaurant in town.   First Presbyterian Church holds a family friendly carol service at 4:00 on Christmas Eve.   At 6:00, children and adults gather for dinner.  Peter and his wife Bethany and their children live in Boston so they are in town for the season, so all the Linda Creath family are together for dinner at the Japanese restaurant..  Nelson, the oldest son preorders the food so when you arrive, the food just arrives.  No fuss and no muss.  The food is wonderful as is the company.  The event is memories in the making.

Linda has been having dinner these dinners for many years.  It all started when Andrew and Christina and the girls went to Texas for Christmas and Linda was feeling a bit blue because Peter and Bethany were also not in Jackson for Christmas Eve.  Rather than missing the rest of they family, Linda, Nelson, Katy and their children decided to go out for Japanese food.  They have been doing it ever since.  Kate and Mary Frances enjoy the dinner.  The three young children sit at the end of the table.  Kate sits by me at the opposite end  with the other events.  Molly never remembers not eating Japanese food on Christmas Eve.   It is a lovely event, enjoyed by all.  It is definitely  making memories for both the old and the young.
