Still I'll miss going out to South Africa to see her and family, though :-(

I'll have Christmas with one sister, beginning tomorrow night after I get off work and get to their place (roughly an hour and a half, or perhaps 2 hours south of here) and through Christmas Day. Hopefully today will know if I'm going to be at Boxing day with the rest (such as what's left) of the clan the next day, the 26th and then work Friday and have the weekend off, per usual.
Enjoy yourselves and was glad to hear Jeff's Mom recognized him, a good sign for those with Alzheimer's and/or dementia.
Hugs and such!
