knew you were expected to be at Grandma Switzer's on 
Christmas Eve. She made it a point to have something for 
every single person there, all 76 of them. Later that night, 
she enjoyed taking as many members of her family as she 
could to midnight mass. There were times when she'd fill 
up two pews or more.
