Hi Shawn,

I've not really thought about what we're going to do for Christmas

I always enjoyed shrimp the few times I had it while growing up. One
year just before Christmas, pre made shrimp cocktails were on sale at
one of our local grocery stores. Mom bought enough for the whole family
so we had a rare appetiser with Christmas dinner. I think she'd just
started working a new job that year so was able to afford it.

 RH> had a couple of shrimp but it wasn't as "special" as it would have

 SH> I used to visit friends in SC every year so being right on the water I

We lived just off the Intracoastal Waterway for almost 8 years before
Steve went in the Army so got it fairly often. Went back to visit the
area in 2020; the fish house where we used to get our seafood looked
like it hadn't been painted since before we left the area in 1983. Got
some seafood to take back with us (just before we left for home).
