Christmas day began at Norma's with the table filled with couscous tofurkey bacon yams salad pastries turkey nuts bacon peppermint bark and cheeses as we admired the view outside and Jane then Jane and Ben then Ben and Ben, Jane and Sarah then Suzanne, Ben, Jane and Sarah and various groupings posed before I joined the children for some photos while Suzanne did her thing (whatever that might have been) and I posed with my wonderful gifts and then opened the package to reveal the contents which made the room spin and will make me smell good forever. Sarah opened her gifts as Suzanne warmed up to a phone call and our final picture was of Sarah before we started on the road.

Before starting home, we purchased Pittsburgh (or Edgewood) gas as Sarah cleaned the windows and the gas pumped. We managed to make it back with just one stop at Highspire (not A spire) and even cleaned part of the car before we went in for pizza and observed the long line of people getting coffee which they would have to stop to return at a later rest area.

Back at home, we went to see PS I Love You where we ran into the Harman's and Liz Dahlen who were then joined by Alex Dahlen and then there was a full photo shoot of Harmans, Dahlen and Dobkin/Gespass'es. Merry Xmas to all.
