One of my favorite family traditions around Christmas time is our family coming together to celebrate the holidays. Even family from out of town comes, like my aunt from Georgia, and my grandfather from Hagarville. Our aunt usually comes into town about a week before Christmas, and our grandfather comes in a day or two beforehand.
On Christmas morning, everybody comes to my house and we all look in our stockings to see what Santa brought us, then we open our presents. After we pick up all the wrappings and ribbons, we all get together for a morning brunch. Normally, we have things like bacon, eggs, gravy, biscuits and pancakes.
Later in the day, we usually go to my grandmother’s house. There, we talk for most of the day and have lunch or dinner. The lunch normally varies, but one constant is these glasses our grandmother only uses on Christmas. They are made of red crystal.
Sometimes we also visit our family in Alma, and spend the night up there. On the way back, we usually get ice cream from Brahm’s, easily the best ice cream anywhere nearby.
