I probably ran this picture last year but I don't care. That's my family circa 1968/69 on Christmas morning. That's my sister Linda on the far right, me, my mom, my sister Sandy, my brother Charlie, and my dad. My brother Karl took the picture, probably with a camera he got for Christmas. Even though we were poor as church mice and lived in the Detroit housing projects we still had great Christmases with lots of presents to open. But more than the presents, I remember how great it was to be together with everyone and playing, laughing, eating cookies and Christmas foods, and then going to see my cousins on my mom's side and then all going to Grandma and Grandpa Wells house.Happy Christmas to you and yours from me and mine. And if you don't celebrate Christmas for whatever reason, then I wish you happiness and peace too.

Merry Christmas, Doctor Monk!
That's a beautiful picture.
I wish that I had some of my family at Christmas. Maybe my Mum does and she's just not sharing. :)
I'm glad that you have fond memories of your family Christmases.
I try to make ours more about food and family too (yes in that order..lol). Truly.. that is what they will remember as they grow older.
You look so cute! You WERE a little monkey, weren't you? ;P
((hugs))

Happy Christmas to you and yours Dr!
I think I do remember it from last year! How nice to see it again. It's amazing how many people with modest resources still managed (in ye olde days) to have beautiful, gift-laden Xmases! (My mother, very poor as a child, has many stories about this to tell). Of course, being with loved ones is the most important thing. I know many of your family members are no longer with you. But they are smiling down today, enjoying your beautiful meal, I'm sure.
I hope you and Sparky are enjoying the day enough for everyone. Kxo
Wonderful picture! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas day!
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Steve. Happy New Year too!
Sorry I'm late! Great pic & thanks for sharing the memories, Doc! Merry Christmas to you & Sparky, too! :)
I don't remember the picture last year having your dad in it. You look like your dad, huh?
