To All Our Absent Friends
This photo was taken in 1993, when the Plotnik family moved to World Headquarters. It was Plotmas Number One. The Chief was not only alive but well, and The Great BeezieWeezie was in Fifth Grade.
This morning, Plot was reading a magazine article about a large, family Christmas in the Australian outback. Families are spread out in Australia, perhaps even more than in America. It's never possible for everyone to come to holiday dinners. Sometimes it is many years between visits for those who have moved to other continents.
So, at the beginning of Christmas dinner, the Dad always makes this toast: 'To All Our Absent Friends.'
The Great Plotnik thinks this is the perfect toast. To All Our Absent Friends. Wish you were here.
