Christmas linner(lunch/dinner) at my mama's. Mama, dad, my daughter, my husband, my brother and his wife come home from Louisville and my niece comes home from UK.

We have cold ham, potato salad, and baked beans. Bizarre sounding Christmas dinner I know  but when my dad was a little boy they were so poor that this is all they could afford and my mom makes this for us every year to remind of us of were they both came from and how thankful we should be that we as a family have become so successful, happy, and prosperous.

Then we open presents and sit for at least 4- 5hours laughing about all the memories we have of funny things from the past. Like the time 2 years ago the night before Thanksgiving my brother and his crew rolled in from Louisville. My mom always buys chips and jars and jars of salsa for dad, Wayne and my hubby Pat to eat while they pick on each other( because that's their Christmas tradition). That year she wasn't paying any attention and bought all hot jars of salsa thought it would be fine no one would notice. My brother had a huge scoop of salsa and needed milk my mom thought she could cool it down by putting a jar of tomato sauce into it. Told my brother to try it( insisting it would be better) he does and starts yelling oh gosh mom it's still hot now it's just more tomatoier.
We talk about this everytime we speak or see each other and it still makes Pat laugh till he cries

What is your favorite holiday song??
