Merry Christmas to you! Our tradition in recent years has been to watch the 1966 version of The Grinch, which is on Peacock. I always loved that, to me it's the real version. It's so bizarrely colorful, it's definitely a product of the '60s, and the animation is by Chuck Jones, who did so many of the classic Looney Tunes.

I have never watched the Grinch. I say every year that o am going to watch it.

My husband’s family celebrates on Christmas Eve with their family party, he has 3 older sisters. When I started attending 26 years ago, the 3 sisters, their 3 spouses, their combined 11 children, ages 3-14, and his parents made a group of 21. Now all but 2 of those kids are married with kids, last night was 55 people, with 22 of them under the age of 12. It was the first time all of us had gotten together since Covid and I have to say that it was overwhelming. My own kids are 20 & 22.

It truly was!

I’m hosting family from America in my home in Europe this week. Being away for just a couple of years has made me really aware of American tendencies. They’re fat and literally are only always thinking of their next meal. We can eat, and they want to talk about dinner. They always complain about their knees and feet even though they’re also only in their mid thirties. I’ve decided to no longer host friends/family from America because it’s always like this 🤦🏼‍♂️ 🫃🏼
