As a follow-up to my Christmas letter (previous blog), I asked those family members present at our
family celebration to each tell about a time when they had helped someone. I sent advance notification of the topic and also sent word to those who weren't able to be with us this year. My daughter, Susanne, asked the same question at their family gathering in London. She shared with me
their responses which mostly paralleled our examples. My son-in-law's family from Denmark was with them and participated. Perhaps the most unusual response from their side of the world was from Susanne's brother-in-law, Lars, from Copenhagen, who said his good deed was offering to marinate salmon for others in his workplace who didn't know how to do it. No one here in the Midwest speaks of marinating salmon!
