Christmas with the Temm's

Janese and I went to my parents house this year for Christmas. Growing up we always celebrated on Christmas Eve with my Dad's family, and Christmas Day with my Mom's family. Now this all seemed normal growing up I guess because that is all I knew. However after spending a much lower key Christmas with Janese's family in 2005 I started thinking about past Temm family celebrations. My mom informed us that we would be celebrating with both sides of the family at their house. Now the last time my parents hosted the Temm family Christmas Eve party, one of my uncles nearly got in a fist fight with my cousins' boyfriend, this brought a quick end to the festive attitude. Now I don't know if Janese was nervous about the first Christmas with the Temm family but I was nervous for her. Thankfully everyone was on their best behavior this year.


We did enjoy a fine game of "rob your neighbor" where you get to steal gifts from other people. Thankfully I was able to get my own gift back and wasn't stuck with the neon orange hammer (thanks Aunt Cindy) or the in-car sandwich maker.
