A tender wrap-up of our Christmases past. Way before your time, our Christmas Eves were spent one block away from our Patchen Ave home, at Uncle Buff and Aunt Vi’s on Edgehill. Around 10 -10:30, someone would say, “Are we gonna call Michigan?” A call to Aunt Elsie’s in Dearborn would quickly ensue, and we’d spend the next 15 minutes or so passing the phone around to our relatives, who were passing the phone around on their end. Traditions.

So much more I wanted to/ could have added. "That man -- I'll never forget him. What was his name?"
I know .. there are volumes, right?
