Family Christmas Parties

Siblings Lorraine, Tony, Shirley and Ron started a tradition of family Christmas parties. We can trace back the hosts to 1968. Eventually their children began to host after they married and had children. The hosts would prepare the meet and beverages and every family brought a dish to pass. The parents played a Christmas present game where they drew numbers and had chances to steal presents from each other. All the children got a wrapped present from Santa. The parties no longer happen but the memories are still there.
