Just received my copy minutes before leaving town this morning. I can’t wait to open the package and read it!

It was the same with my grandparents, and we kept the tradition going. We could open our gifts on Christmas but they stayed under the tree until Epiphany, since Jesus didn’t get gifts before then, either. So the sadness at taking down the tree was offset by celebrating and finally getting to use what we’d been given.

My paternal grandad was from a very diverse southern 
town. There was a Catholic family.
Mum’s side wasn’t quite so culturally and ethnically open minded. Although Auntie Olive did enjoy 
food, which was considered adventurous. Well, and a bunch of them were hard-core Communists who wanted revolution, but that’s politics, in’nit…
I’d say /s, but it’s 100% the straight-faced truth…

Olive’s side was Northumbrian. They never did really accept Mum’s having married a foreigner from Kent. 
That’s… that’s… I’m at a loss for GIF’s.
What… was that song? My daughter and I agreed it was the oddest thing we’ve heard in a while. Not… quite… satire…
