It's the most wonderful time of the year and people around the world are celebrating their own rendition of the holidays. In the Ueland family this means the gang is back together (with the exception of Thomas, the soccer star). Thanksgiving includes a spread of food confected only by Dad and comprises of the typical American Thanksgiving dinner in addition to an assortment of African dishes. Accompanied by the Bosele family, we scarf down dinner as everyone throws out sarcastic remarks and jeers. Mostly directed at Sara. The Bosele family brings African dishes and I pretend to like them despite the subsequent aching stomach pains. For Christmas the family takes I-70 W to the small town of Carbondale, Colorado to stay with our extended family in a cabin in the mountains. The drive takes 22 hours and many stories have accumulated through the years of the infamous trip. From leaving Sara at a gas station in Kansas to spinning off the interstate to the car breaking down at three in the morning the drive is absolute rubbish.
