I love being with family at Christmas time and on other holidays. We have many family gatherings with both sides of the family. I really enjoy sharing family stories and reminiscing during these gatherings. I would suggest that you bring a digital recorder and turn it on when these stories are being told so they can be preserved and shared.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
