I can't believe WE used to eat all that food, and now it is the younger generations ... Followed by some Broschi especially for us older folks ... grin
BTW ... 24 people ...

Of course, Christmas day is a whole other story ... surprised

I LOVE this holiday ... To quote "it's the most wonderful time of the year" ...


The world Brioschi brought it back to the days when we had about 21 people but as the years have passed, people passed it's grown smaller. Going back 40 years ago I dated a girl whose family went to midnight mass then they would regroup at 1:30 AM to eat, drink and be merry it ended somewhere around 3 AM.

Tony and Gary nice to see that tradition still going with your gang!
