Christmas - 2016

 We keep it pretty simple, really. No tree in the living room; no gifts beneath. We simply get together on Christmas, have lunch at the Waffle House and come home, play cards and eat some more.

Mom (91) and Bob (60) 

Bill (67) and Tom (60) 

Mom playing Michigan Rummy 

Bob dealing 

Tom (probably disgusted that I'm taking another picture) 

I'm scorekeeper - honest if nothing else 

Another snack: dark chocolate brownies, chocolate chip bioche

Homemade pimento cheese ball with pecans and three varieties of wheat crackers

Great day, begun about 11 am, finished at 5 pm. Thus Christmas 2016 becomes but a fond memory.
