By Gloria Dwyer, April 14, 2019 — My parents hosted Christmas Eve because they had a house in Brooklyn. This continued until my mother was 75 years old and hosting became too much for her. This is when the rotation amongst me and my three brothers started. It first started in 1987, I began the rotation because I was 5 minutes older than my twin brother Charlie. This tradition has been going on for many years and it was unbelievable that just last year there were 49 of us at Paul’s house for Christmas Eve.
