To my son Tommy,
Today was leftovers day at Nansy's house. We always make too much for the initial holiday and then for a day or two afterwards we come back and scarf down the extras. Whatever is left after the leftover days is divided up and sent home so Nansy isn't stuck with a bunch of food that she couldn't possibly eat in a year.
Family tradition is important. Any reason to extend the holiday spirit and get together with our family an extra day is a fine tradition to keep up. Leftover day might not qualify for a full on family tradition but it sure encompasses the core spirit. When you are full grown and with a full family of your own, look back on these traditions and learn and incorporate as many as you can into your life.
Sincerely with love from your dad,
Leo
