Post-Christmas Planning

This is an echo and response to Chris' post a couple weeks ago: What are we going to do at Hobble Creek after Christmas?

Let me register three votes: music, sports (indoor and out), and letters and pictures to Gloria. Like always with family reunions, I think we should guard against getting overprogrammed--there needs to be time for everyone to do their own thing.

I'd suggest we all get together as a family for two meals and one activity each day, and then have an ongoing project on the side. That way we solve the family reunion collective action problem, and the spontaneous stuff can stay spontaneous. "Music" would be a good base for an all-family activity. "Sports" could probably be spontaneous. Letters to Gloria would make a good ongoing project.

Thoughts?

Weigh in soon if you want your opinion heard.
