Christmas 2020
In an act of foolhardiness, we decided to go to Hawaii for Christmas. This was foolhardy for several reasons: first, Hawaii has imposed some stringent covid testing requirements in order to be permitted to come; second, there were no non-stop flights to Honolulu due to the lack of flights, which added another wild card to…

Christmas 2018
Christmas 2018 will go down in the family chronicles as the Christmas with an (Over) Abundance of Lintotts. :). Jim’s mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all joined us for our Christmas celebration. It was the first time in many years that the three grandchildren all spent Christmas with their grandmother, and it was lovely that…

Christmas in Hawaii (oh, and a wedding too!)
Once again, both children’s school calendars cooperated, and we were able to get away the week before Christmas to Hawaii for just over a week. The daughter’s finals schedule ended the same day as the son’s school break started, and we all met up in San Francisco before flying out to Honolulu. In addition, Jim’s…

Best wishes for 2018! And…

Inn at Little Washington Over The Holidays
Jim and I have a tradition we’ve done for many years, which is to go spend a night at the Inn at Little Washington between Christmas and New Year’s, just the two of us. (This does not go over well with the kids, who also want to dine there and spend the night, but we…

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas
We have friends who host a gingerbread house decorating party every year. Below is this year’s creation with the side decorated by the 14 year old son. (The 17 year old daughter couldn’t make it this year.) My favorite touches this year are the chimney (decorated by Jim) and the fish in the pond (made…

Christmas Dinner 2014
I often wonder whether our 13 year old son still believes in Santa Claus or not. It seems highly unlikely, especially given the precocious nature of his school. His sister is convinced it’s all a manipulative play, and she is probably correct. But it’s certainly fun to have a child who is still writing Santa…
