My parents always set a time and we end up eating about a hour after the time Mom plans on us eating. It’s not a issue because there is always finger foods and snack stuff all over to snack on all Day. Christmas Eve mornings are spent with family (wife and boys) and after lunch we are with my parents. If someone is late that’s their problem and others shouldn’t have to wait on them to start the festivities.


The secret to a long marriage is to keep on dating, just as you did before marriage. We have "date night" once a week.
Hers is Saturday, mine is Thursday.

The only time a married woman gives those is if your not married to them!
