the end of a tradition

For the last 8 years my husband and I have had the pleasure of hosting a Christmas party. It started out because many of our college friends had scattered and this was a guaranteed time for those living nearby or with family in the area to see each other. One year we decided to branch out and invite all of our friends ... it was a great success! The year after, and all the following years, not so much. At one point we decided that financially, we couldn't do it anymore. To our great surprise (and pleasure), a few people pleaded for it to continue and offered to start bringing food to help out. And so ... we continued. This year ends our tradition and I'm a little sad.

To all of you that are familiar with our annual tradition, I wanted to let you know that it will be no more. We will miss extending the invitation into our home, but know that you are always welcome here.
