Re: The Angel Of Blythe Hall (8:26pm December 30, 2011):

Every year my family gets together on Christmas Eve at our mothers home. Im one of 4 kids and with all of our kids and spouses there are 26 of us with most of those children. We have a nice lunch together and then we have a massive gift opening extravaganza. Its always been great fun with all the kids. A few years ago we added a new tradition. We all get into our family groupings and sing the 12 Days of Christmas. My mom has her solo as the "Partridge in a pear tree", and my 96 year old Granny has her solo with "5 Golden Rings"-though we have to remind her when it comes to her turn...Though it is sung off key and sometimes we forget our words I have to say it brings tears to my eyes to see all my family in one place with my mom and granny singing with all the kids...What was unexpected about this gift was how it truely touches my heart each and every year..
