And all through the house; all the family was wasted because santa brought sadness and left with my gramps. Now I know this is sad but this year changed holidays forever in my family. I remember a car getting stolen, insurance money coming up missing, fights and discomfort. But my most vivid memory was my drunk cousins getting into a scuffle and my Grams (mind you her husband of 52 years just passed) got up and says “you want to ruin Christmas?” “We’ll do ya?” Then no joke my 5 foot 5 inch 68 year old granny threw the 6foot Christmas tree at them! I couldn’t believe it! I was too scared to laugh and my grown ass cousins was too scared to run. Grama walked past them and said “get your act together and get this mess cleaned up or you’re going with grampa.” And she wasn’t even joking! It was a very sad and high stress Christmas. And I believe my gramps would have been proud of how the family came together that year. Merry Christmas all!
