FAMILY CUSTOM

WHEN MY GRANDMOTHER AND HER BROTHERS AND SISTERS WERE ALL MARRIED,
THEY USED TO GET TOGETHER ONCE A MONTH. AT FIRST THEY WENT TO
THEIR MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S HOUSE, BUT AS THEY GOT OLDER AND AS
THE NUMBEER OF GRANDCHILDREN GREW, THEY TOOK TURNS GOING TO EACH
OTHER'S HOUSES. EVERYBODY WOULD BRING SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THIS
HAS PASSED DOWN TO US, BUT WE JUST DO IT ON HOLIDAYS NOW.
