6 Christmases

All 6 Christmases were good...I even had a white Christmas!!! Then it melted on the 26th. I think I have seen all of my relatives who live in NY or PA...that's how I ended up having 6 Christmases...and growing up we only had 4 Christmases a year...but since I was out of the country the last couple Christmases, I had to make up for it somehow.

This was the first time in 3 years that all 3 of us sisters were together for the Christmas holiday season, so we had to make Candy Houses. We have done this every year of our lives (even in India I made a mini one with Parle-G crackers and peanut butter, but no candy)...
Mom had said when we have kids, we can bring them over to make candy houses and she'll provide the supplies. Seeing as how there are no grand-kids yet, we figured we should probably buy our own candy and clean-up after ourselves...So we used a kit, rather than gram crackers because we're kind of cheap and lazy and just doing it because it's nostalgic and fun...As kids and we'd fill the inside of the house with candy so it wouldn't fall in, but more-so as a strategy of claiming our candy and hiding it away for later, but we're much more mature now...
Alissa + I shared a Candy House and we were going to take it with us to Mom's house today, but we accidentally left it in Dad's van when we met in the middle and switched vehicles...I guess it's not a major loss since I have the bag of left-over candy :) since neither of my sisters eat dairy, it's all mine... mauhahahahaha!
