I was 11. My grandparents were gone but there were four sets of aunts and uncles, with nine cousins.
Typical Italian Holiday Dinner ... start-off with a huge Antipasto, followed by a full Italian meal featurning lasagna, ravioli of macaroni (not called pasta back then ... at least not in my family), meatballs, sausage and braciola (can't easily find a good braciola these days).
Then came the Main Course ... varied ... could be Roast Beef, Ham, Roast Pork or even another Turkey ... but it didn't matter ... everyone was so full from what came before, we just looked at the Main Couse ... with trimmings of course ... admired it, complimented it ... and, commented how good it would be as left-overs.
That Game was so entertaining. Everyone was going crazy. I was the youngest in the room; and was enjoying my father, uncles and cousins as much as that great game. Future Hall of Famer, Jan Stenerud missing multiple field goals was brutal. Great Memory. Miss those people ... few are still around.
Also miss the braciola ...
