Christmas Memories - Zumwalde Family

The lasting memory of the Zumwalde Family Christmas celebrations were my grandmother's date cookies. It is a family favorite.

We always seem to have some wacky celebrations with the Zumwalde clan, so many crazy antics, stories and stories, and laughter until our sides hurt. One particular Christmas, we decided to stuff my Aunt Linda into a shopping bag. Yes, she did fit. And yes, I do have pictures to prove it.

I also enjoy what each year's hostess will have us do at the celebration. Last year, Gary & Linda had us each say something that we were thankful for from that year. None of those things were material items, and it really reminded all of us the true meaning of a Christmas celebration with family.

Merry Christmas to my family!

Did Aunt Linda ever get out of the shopping bag, or did y'all just leave her in it...?
