Christmas Eve, we along with our 3 children, their spouses, and our 9 grandchildren decorated gingerbread houses via FaceTime. Everyone had 30 minutes to decorate their pre-built houses and were limited to 5 decorating materials. The 15 “contestants” ranged from 7-73 years of age. When the houses were completed and photographed, my daughter sent the “entries” to Uncle Bob for judging.
On Christmas morning, Grandma and Grandpa facetimed each family individually and then watched in as each of those families opened their gifts from each other. It took four hours, but when all was said and done, the chaos turned to quiet and there was no mess to clean up at the GPs house. It was not better than having everyone here, but I’m just trying to look for the positives. Just saying!
