I love the Hume family Christmas gatherings! Each year Grandma Hume invites the entire family over for Clam Chowder on Christmas Eve. Everyone brings something to share and we sit around eating, talking and exchanging gifts. The kids each get spoiled by their Great-grandma and receive a gift from her under the tree. Most adults participate by bringing a “man’s gift” or a “women’s gift” and then we play a rousing round of a white elephant type swap/exchange for gifts. Each year there seems to be some debate about the rules of the game and how many times people can steal gifts…even though we play this game every single year (as long as I have been around anyway). Some might think this is a crazy Christmas tradition…well…it fits in perfectly with this group and we have a lot of fun!
Great-grandma Arvilla Hume has 15 great grandchildren! 11 of whom are pictured below!
