Same here, I look forward to spending holidays and other special events with IL's. I grew up in a small family with a couple of aunts & uncles. The holidays while growing up always seemed like an aristocratic tea party. .
However, at the IL's each occasion is a celebration and a feast with fun people, and there's relatives coming and going all day long. While I recognize the faces of most, after all these years, I still don't know them all by name or by relation ... let's see that one is her grandmother's sister's cousin on her mother's side ...
