Colleen and list, I enjoy the pieces that have been provided by Colleen. I used the Christmas traditions, broken out by decade, at my family's Christmas gathering, and interspersed information on where the ggrandparents were living, what children had arrived etc, for a 70 year flowchart of life. It was interesting for the adults, and mind numbing for the children, but I can't please everyone. Kate Sugar Land, TX

I also enjoy Colleen's stories, and wonder how Grandma existed without a computer!! Loved your story, Kate - you can't EVER please EVERYONE at Christmas! But your effort was appreciated by most, I'm sure.
