The reading of a Christmas Memory by Truman Capote is a tradition in this home. Billy is a Maritime lawyer and he reads with the gravitas of Ishmael and the sweet warmth of your favorite cousin. The crab cakes and pigs in blankets were matched only by the home made mint cookies and other confections with chocolate and peanut butter made by a daughter in law. On one side of Billy ,Mary Ann, a psychotherapist wife (good skill for any spouse) and on the other Kenin and Jim's sister, Kieran. Tim,Maureen and Jeanne and I were there and thus not eating out. So consider this a holiday card entry in lieu of a restaurant review. But maybe you will accept this as a useful reminder about the joy of family friends tradition at an A1 Holiday gathering. May your gatherings be as savory and sweet.
