When my husband and I were first married, we went to Denny’s on Christmas Eve, after some last-minute mall shopping. Santa was sitting at the counter having a meal. for many years after, Dennys became our custom for Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, now, we don’t get out. But great memories!!
That is so sweet. 🥰
