christmas

Christmas consisted of opening gifts, reading letters to one another, candy and music.  Then we played a multi-family baseball game, kids vs. adults.  This was what the kids wanted.  Everyone in our family played.  At one point I was asked to pitch.  The good news is no one could hit my pitches.  The bad news is I threw them to the right of the right handed batters, on the opposite side of the plate.  I think I pitched to three batters before I got yanked.  I did get a couple of good hits.  It had been, oh twenty years since I played. After the game we went home and relaxed.  Then I cooked our traditional dinner -- roasted chicken, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade cranberry sauce.  And cookies for dessert.
