Almost every year since I moved out of my mother’s house, we plan the holidays through a family texting thread that dings and buzzes all day long:

“Who’s hosting this year? You?”

“Who’s in charge of the pies?”

“Where’s the best place to buy a turkey? Should I get it now?”

I am one of five children, and between us, there are six grandchildren, all under the age of 9. What’s more, we all live in apartments, rather than houses. Needless to say, rallying our big and boisterous family into a barely 600-square-foot space takes a bit of finagling.

But, like with almost anything to do with living in the city, you just need to be able to overlook the mess and confusion and see the beauty. This is why I usually tap my fingers across the screen and respond, “Yes, I’ll host this year.”
