I think it's always nice remembering old Christmases, particularly when we were younger. You described the scene really well, Barbara and I really enjoyed reading it.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Ha ha I just love your family stories! Andrew would fit well in my family because my dad didn't even let us walk around barefoot. We would warn each other if he was near and we were barefoot. The song was folksie "Bare footin, bare footin." If you heard that, you'd run to get socks or slippers on. My dad also used the downstairs bathroom only for a shower. I'm not sure if he ever used the upstairs bathroom. We were three girls and two boys. I never remember dressing in front of my brothers. My dad was very old fashioned and old generally born in 1919 Greece. Being very youngest I was in a time warp. My friends didn't hear, "Run and put on your socks, dad's coming" and things like that. Ha. I was a little nervous even to read about your one soon but I was agreeing with the other like, "Right, get clothes on." I feel like I know him because that's how I was raised. But how did he get that way? My Das would be cool with him. Ha

Please write all your family stories, they are fin.

Have a good day,

Alex :)

Thank you for understanding. I have no clue where Andrew got it. Nobody in my family is like that. His is a slightly, but not to that extreme.

You made me smile with this innocent write Barbara! I remember when I knocked my neighbours door and he was wearing tight underpants and continued our conversation without batting an eyelid! I didn't know where to look! Ha ha ha, I enjoyed the innocent humour here Barbara, love Dolly x x x

I liked reading this. It is a humorous slice-of-life account of differences in children. You do a good job getting the dialogue to sound like that is exactly what they said.
Little fixes:
Eleanor turned to her dad. "Daddy, I'm not naked I'm asking Grandma if I can use her bubble bath."
I would put a semi-colon after naked. Either that or a period, to show the end of the first sentence. That is because you have two independent clauses or complete sentences there.

I'm betting the next time they visit; it'll happen again.
I would change the semi-colon to a comma.

I added a period to the first one. I had a comma the auto fix changed it. I accepted it but will change it back. I appreciate the help and the kind review.

As usual, excellent, no faults. I appreciated this tale as I grew up in a family where all were different, though I was closer to my sister. If it weren't for her and/or her books, I'd be very different today. You have a talent for writing great family sagas.

I can truly relate to the naked thing with boys. Our grandson, Greyson, is always wanting to go around naked and I try to get him to put clothes on. I did not see any errors in this work. you did a great job telling this story. love and blessings, Teri
