The 4F’s of Celebrations!
I interpret celebration in terms of the 4F’s: family - friends - food – fun. Insofar as family goes, our kids are all grown and for those that have them, their kids are growing up too. We are transitioning to that point in life, where we often go to them to celebrate holidays.
A family celebration!
The first of this Holiday Season’s mobile celebrations this past weekend was particularly memorable because it took place at our grandson’s new apartment in the GTA, a first for him and us … how cool is that!
Our host shows off the sweater his other grandmother designed for the ‘ugly christmas sweater contest’ at his work.

Thanks for the ping. Too bad more of us don’t look upon funerals as the celebration of someone’s life!

I think it’s an irony to say that those T-shirts are for the ugly Christmas sweater contest.
December 13, 2011 at 6:42 am
Cheryl
Well said Sony! A much-loved sweater he loves to show off and his other grandmother is a fabulous seamstress, don’t you think!

How great to transition to the place where it’s your children who have to clean and decorate the house for the holidays! Your poinsettia/plate/bell photo really captures the holiday for me. I love the color. Janet

Hi Janet. Happy Holidays to you and all your loved ones! I’m glad my photo captured the season for you.
