This blog space is meant to be a place of sharing. My goal is to share inspiring and meaningful stories that I am documenting for others or give tips, inspiration and resources for documenting your own stories. But, from time to time you might find that I reflect on my own experience.
A little background, my family is full of storytellers. However, they're usually all speaking at once, loudly. I suggested this past holiday that after Christmas dinner we sit in the living room by the fireplace and listen to one another's memory of Peyton Eggnog, a concoction that became a seasonal tradition led by my grandfather. Initially, they balked and protested. But, eventually, we sat to reminisce.
An entertaining hour passed easily. I think focusing our attention on one, potentially defamatory, but nonetheless, shared family story, we were able to celebrate a great spirit in a husband, father and grandfather, Bradley Peyton, and remember the many enjoyable Christmas's that we used to spend together.
I've edited the hour down to an eight minute clip. However, it still might be too much information...
Many thanks to my family for participating and amusing me...always!
I hope you had a fabulous holiday with your family! The new year is in full swing. It's going to be a great 2008!
