After the fall from the roof, Ryan was subject to a few hours of observation and then released from the hospital.
So the Cohen's celebrated Christmas on the 26th that year. After a day of cooking, they sat down for their Christmas dinner.
The food was delicious. Kirsten had really become a good cook. Not the best but she didn't burn everything anymore. However, despite the great food, she was still concerned about that ham.
"I'm just not sure it's a Virginia ham," she said as she chewed it thoughtfully.
All three of her men rolled their eyes. They had been hearing about this ham for weeks before Christmas. Kirsten had been fretting though she knew they were men. It could be Mongolian barbeque for Christmas dinner and they wouldn't care as long as it tasted good.
"Mom, seriously."
"Yeah, Kirsten. It tastes fine."
"Exactly. It tastes fine. It's supposed to taste great." She pouted. "It's supposed to be from Virginia."
"Yes, God forbid it be from Pennsylvania or Kentucky."
"Maybe Texas," Ryan smiled.
"Montana!" Seth gasped.
"What if it's not ham at all?" Ryan asked in mock horror. "Perhaps it's kangaroo or a reindeer."
"Yeah, Mom, what if we are eating Rudolph?"
"He'd probably be happy to go to a good Christmas cause like our dinner."
"I think so."
Ryan chuckled. "Maybe it's a Canadian goose!"
"Could be, eh?"
Despite the jokes being at her expense, Kirsten had a smile on her face as she looked over at Sandy.
As Seth and Ryan kept joking, all four were just glad that everything was back to normal.
