It was just as you describe with family coming to my parents home. In the evening, the furniture would be moved aside and my father would sit with his accordian and play old Italian songs while we all danced around the room. As a child my uncle taught me to dance the Viennese waltz. I can see now my parents waltzing around the room. Those days have gone and reading your blog made me miss them badly and want them back. But that is not possible. Thank you for the look back into the past. Memories can never die. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family, Gloria.
