My parents divorced when I was only 3 years old. They had to split the holidays, so my grandmother came up with a brilliant idea. Every Christmas Eve, my Dad's side of the family gets together to celebrate the holiday. There is always lots of food, cookies, and presents. My grandmother's short & fat Christmas trees were always a topic of discussion & laughter. My grandfather used to set up an amazing train display complete with his handmade village. My grandmother always made delicious cookies; my favorite being the Spritz cookies she would use her cookie press to shape. At first, my brother and I were the only children. Then my uncle got married and they had 4 kids of their own. Years Later, I got married and had three kids of my own. My grandparents are no longer with us, but the tradition continues. I use the cookie press to make the Spritz cookies now. My aunt organizes games for the kids. It's amazing to think that something started because of an unfortunate event has carried on for 30 plus years.
