After that was done we had a video call with my brother in Virginia and his youngest

vixmom · « **Reply #121 on:** December 25, 2020, 09:23:17 PM »

His wife was in Massachusetts with the middle kid

And their eldest was in Georgia, where she lives with her fiancé

Then I popped the roast in the oven and we video called Vixter and Vixhubby so the6 could visit with Nana and watch her open her presents

We never did speak with my brother who lives locally (and who celebrated his birthday today)

vixmom · « **Reply #125 on:** December 25, 2020, 09:26:43 PM »

I suspected he is miffed when we asked them not to stop by as they wanted to

And I am sure I am being blamed for my Mom’s refusal to their invitation to spend Christmas Eve with them, her parents, and her sister and her husband

But she is a NYC school teacher and has been taking the trains and subways

Her sister and mom own a dog grooming place with customers in and out all day

This is the SIL that tended to infect one or both of us with the flu every Thanksgiving

They thought we were being ridiculously over cautious

We watched Sabrina on TCM tonight. What fun.

I gather you are referring to the original.

The story out of Nashville today is very scary.

Lucky me. I somehow missed this news until late afternoon.

So that was a delightful hour

I especially like the part about making the same morning meal to share.

He was not feeling much in the spirit having spent 45 minutes starting at 1:45 am, standing in gale force winds and driving rain while trying to reinforce the fence that was trying desperately to lie down

I completely agree with your decision. I suppose your brother felt left out. You could have done a video chat with them.

This would have been a good time to add your local brother to the video chat 😊

Really? No TCB or George for Christmas posting?

bk · « **Reply #147 on:** December 25, 2020, 11:47:19 PM »

Guess they're having their eggs and nogs.

bk · « **Reply #148 on:** December 25, 2020, 11:47:26 PM »

Or still opening presents.

I don't profess to know.
