Yep. One of my brothers live about 5km away, one sister about 10. Dunno about the rest. I've got no idea where 2 of my brothers and 1 of my sisters live. I have spoken to them in about 15 years.

This year, of the other sisters, I've spoken to one of them once, two of them twice, and two of them not at all.

the older they get, the longer they sleep

Old people have to get up early to change their bags.

Still dreaming of when the boys are teens!

Youngest came in at 4:15 and woke us. Luckily he forgot to look near the tree so went back to sleep easily. They were both up at 6am checking if santa had been and if the reindeer food and santa's snack were gone.

Already had the sister-in-law and kids visit, parents-in-law also. My brother will be here shortly. I have also spoken with some of the family.
