before the other side of the tribe broke down, we spent the first week before christmas with mom's tribe, then the day of at home, then the next week with dad's tribe.

then of course there were work parties for dad (whole family events) and then parties at school and at friend's houses.

chruch was always insane because we had three branches in the family (Catholic, Baptist, and Methodist) and we had to go to all of those services

things have calmed down now though, and it is more about family and spending time together than schedules and agendas.

the villagers all like it much better now.
