I'm sorry that things changed for you and your family with the passing of your grandparents.

Maybe there will be new traditions that will develop moving forward ;D

Hey, snow is also on my bucket list. In this lifetime, I want to touch and see real snow, not the fake ones they have at theme parks hehe

And yes, we broke plates, it was loud and messy and an experience.
We bought the cheapest plates from Ikea too and we ended up not breaking everything :D
