I kept my mouth shut but gradually, as the grandkids started working, college, things changed, now we all stay home. Gene and I have a small Thanksgiving dinner at home and each family does their own thing.

Things change, and we have to accept it. Your acceptance is admirable, and what a bonus getting two grandkids back. Are those recent, pandemic-fueled moves?

Traditional English Christmas pudding is almost unknown in the US. I've only ever had it when celebrating Christmas with ex-patriot British friends.
