Our Christmas gathering will produce three married children, their spouses, fifteen grandchildren (add another spouse), one great-grandchild, four dogs but thank your dangling mistletoe there is no partridge in a pear tree. That totals 23 people and four canine...we have enough food; just praying for enough patience.
