With the added collections of priceless everything all around you. My main trouble used to be preventing my autistic son from going on a rampage and destroying something and the baby trying to eat things she shouldn’t. This year will have the added fun of poor use of my hands. We might camp out on the hardwood stairs this year! No one speaks to us much at these events anyway but a no show would be the talk of the town. Horray holiday season!

In fact, I have never liked loud, crowded parties where you have to stand up the whole time, whether with a drink only or with drink and food. Maybe if I were taller . . . . 😉
