Gatherings — our family always had a December gathering to celebrate the holidays. We’ve scaled things back a bit since Mom passed, however, this year, with the help of a few members of the family, we are scaling back up again. Not quite ready to pass the torch yet to the next generation, but I think that will be the case in just a couple of years. It would be nice to formalize the organization a bit — and make sure that the traditions we hold dear continue with the cousins and beyond.
