The stress of trying to get all members of the family in one place is starting to tell.
We decided to hold Christmas at our home so we didn’t have to suffer the horrible lighting and dismal atmosphere of her mother’s home.
I likened it to a morgue, but without the marble slab. It saps the fun and enjoyment that should be associated with the season, no music, no drink not even tea and coffee, how is that fun?
At least with having it at our home I can quietly drift into drunkenness in comfort.
Unfortunately none of Kelli’s children could join us on that day which is where the stress has descended upon us.
We have tried to go for the weekend before, but that’s not convenient for all of them. It’s not like their time is so precious, but it’s up to them.
We carried the mid century dresser into the house to take pictures, it has change a lot since we collected it.


We had someone inquire about taking a look at it but didn’t follow up.
