Weird Crowe family
tradition: this ornament has hung over the Christmas dinner table for 40
years, first at my father's house and now my sister's. Someone spins
and spins the string, then lets go. When the ornament stops turning, whoever Santa
faces will have bad luck in the new year. Everyone calls him Evil Santa. Did I say we go through a lot
of wine in this family?
Below, quality family time - a niece, spouse and brother sucked into their iPhones.
Every family has ups and downs but this one has had less than its share of bad luck. I am the oldest of four siblings. We are all still alive. We are all still on our first marriages. Everyone graduated from college, and there is a Ph.D., an M.B.A. and a J.D. sprinkled around the group. We all still like each other and make an effort to get together a couple of times a year. We turned out okay.

We need to keep tradition alive but this is a strange one. If Santa stopped in front of me I'd be expecting trouble for the next 12 months. The power of suggestion ...
You have turned out ok and through this blog we've gotten to share it.
Traditions can be fun! Have a great 2016 Bob! The best to you and your family.
If you can all get along, you're lucky. That hasn't been the case for me.
Evil Santa looks like he's up to something.
I love the cell phone shot. It's perfect!
maybe, time to start a new family tradition about cell phones
AS IN NOT!
Merry Christmas, Bob & Carolyn, etal.
Cool post. I like your photographers list.
It is good to meet your family. By the way, there is not reason that the tradition MUST end up in bad luck. Time for someone to spin the ornament and declare, while it is spinning, that the person on whom it lands will have extra good luck.
