MY FAMILY CHRISTMAS WAS BETTER THAN YOUR FAMILY CHRISTMAS


I come from an Italian family with lots and lots of lawyers. Every gathering is LOUD and almost always involves some sort of competition. Christmas is no exception. Last year's celebration at attorney-brother Robert’s house was great, so the heat was on attorney-brother Phil to make this year’s event even better. Sibling rivalry does have its up side…

Scardino Christmas 2007 was wild and loud. It started with very festive red and green jello-shots that my usually sensible and sane attorney-sister Teresa brought. And Lo, on Christmas Day, a new family tradition was born. It sorta went crazy from there. We competed at ping-pong and god help us, karaoke. We debated over who brought the best wine. The gift exchange competition was a riot. I think I remember there was food.



Wishing you (and me) Peace and a Long Winter's Nap
