Monday night, Drew went over to Jack's in San Francisco and picked up his presents and golf clubs. Getting off work on Tuesday, Jack jumped on BART to Orinda. Drew and Carmen picked up him up at the Bart Station about 2:15 pm and started for Elk Grove.Sharon and I headed to her brother Tim's house after 3:00 pm. Tim and Kathy last hosted Christmas Eve in 2019. We got there about 3:45 pm. Drew, Carmen and Jack rolled up about 4:20 pm.
The group for Christmas Eve totalled 23, including: Tom; Eric and Ashley; Kevin, Leah, Lydia and Amelia; Terry and Steve; Jim; Tim and Kathy; Eileen, Will and a friend of Eileen from Portland; Cormac, Erin and Mave; and, Sharon, Jack, Drew, Carmen and me.
After a buffet dinner, we exchanged gifts. Starting to run out of gas, I had fun watching the cousins gift exchange.
I enjoyed the evening. For a number of reasons, we haven't done a Christmas Eve like this since 2019.
