Home for the Holidays (There's No Place Like It).

Added on by Elise Kirk.

I'm fortunate to have an extended family and the scores of holiday traditions - old and new - that come with it.  We're talking many days of rounds to make when I go home to Missouri.  From top to bottom: Mom and John's House, and our first ever fake tree. (Our usual tree - the Norfolk Pine in the window - has seen better days, poor thing, so it's taking a break.)  Kelly and Chris' new house, and the annual Christmas Eve Crab Legs.  Dad and Louese's house and the quasi white Christmas.  My step-mom Louese cleans her crystal prisms so I can get a good photo.  Thanks, Louese.  Happy New Year, All.
