Christmas is the family feast par excellence. However, you never know who will be able to join the festive table next Christmas. This photo symbolically, honours previous generations. On the walls hang the photos of my grandparents and great-grandparents. The empty chairs honor the family members that passed away. Mors certa, hora incerta.
