legstoner) and her husband this morning before seeing them all off. It was a good visit, all and all, with my family. Both my sister and Dad, in my opinion, did much better with Matthew than they had in the past. My brother-in-law continues to be a superlative uncle even given the infrequent opportunities we have to spend with them. Indeed, to get Matthew to go out for breakfast we had to tell him Uncle Greg would be there.
Now if he'd just stop telling Matthew to root for the Steelers. It matters little though, as the Steelers were crumpled up tinfoil against the Ravens today.
This evening was wigilia, the traditional Polish (my wife is) Christmas Eve celebration. Matthew, despite his selective palette and the limited fair, managed well. On wigilia, you don't eat meat, so it's all fish, vegetables, fruit, or bread. As the years have gone by, of course, the rules remain the same, but the dishes broaden. For instance, Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoon were on the menu.
This year's gathering was smaller than usual, but it was still a good time. I got the new Tilly and the Wall album, as well as a long ago requested item, the soundtrack to The Triplets of Belleville.
