December 25, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Our Christmas Feast.

We did it again.   Our Christmas feast was held at our local Chinese restaurant, the Ding How.    All six of us enjoyed our meal.  A few years ago,  I discovered that the tradition of the Jews to eat Chinese food on Christmas day had a long history, so Ken and I checked with Christina and the girls  and we all agreed it was a good idea to eat Chinese food for our Christmas dinner.   The dinner was such a hit we did it again.

A couple of weeks ago, Christina and I went to the Ding How for lunch.  While we were there, we made a reservation and selected the meal, so when we arrived and were seated at our big table, the food just started to arrive and only stopped when our lazy susan was full.   And when we were finished, Christina had four boxes of food to take home.  They will eat Chinese food on Boxing Day too.

At dinner, we talked about the odd habits that Andrew had developed over the years at Christmas.  We are still fighting the empty chair syndrome, which is one of the reasons we are looking to see alternate activities, but we all talked freely about Andrew and his funny ways and we all laughed together.

The best part of dinner was the good food, but the second best is that neither Christina nor I had to cook or clean.  And we all six enjoyed our Christmas feast.
