TheHudsons 14th Annual Holiday Party
December 12, 1997

Every family has its holiday traditions. For us, its TheHudsons Annual Holiday Party
(sometimes dubbed the Eggnog and Feeding Fest). Our ornament tree is also part of the tradition. Probably some 13 years ago, Stanley, the adolescent boy-Cocker-Spaniel made the logical canine conclusion that where there's a tree, there's territory to be marked. We figured this out from the damp packages. Patty asked Tom to come up with something that: 1) Would display the ornaments, 2) Didn't drop pine needles, and 3) Was boy-dog proof. Thus a new Hudson tradition was born. |

Andy is also part of the "tradition." Tom's partner has been to all but one of the 14 parties. He was in Japan one year, and we couldn't talk him into flying back for the party. |

In contrast, this was the first time Mark and Kathy Stone were able to visit us. |

Kelly and Thomas Rose are friends dating back to before Patty and Tom were married (a REALLY long time ago =-). |
In contrast, 1997 marked the first party Renée and Joe Limon attended. Patty and Tom met Joe while working on a project for Apple at EPCOT Center in 1994. Renée was working at EPCOT when she met Joe that same summer. |

Joe kept us laughing during our trip to Florida. Some things just don't change. |
