of course

After hosting my whole New England family and their significant others, feeding them tasty food, catering to their needs, and cleaning up after them, I've received one email from Sis3 addressed to Sis2 and cc'd to me. In it, she said she was amazed that I could pull off yet another holiday gathering so well, and she felt better seeing how cluttered my house is because it always makes her feel better about hers.

Yeah.

That's the kind of thanks I look forward to from my family. I think I'll let someone else host the next 50 holiday gatherings.
