I was sad to read that you did not feel like joining your family for Christmas dinner. I'll bet they missed you.
While the cancer may have taken away your ability to eat easily, don't let it take away the social aspects of a meal with family.
It's been almost four years since I have had even a bite of food or a sip of any liquid, but I enjoy sitting with my family at our holiday meals. Sure, I'm putting some liquid down my feeding tube instead of food down my throat, but the company is great. Although my experience is that champagne won't work well in the tube, stick to wine for a New Year's toast.
