@Playalot, Thank you. I hope I can do a fraction as well as you at keeping up with both a legacy and a dynasty.
@Margerita, Thanks for the eoncouragement. I've never played a dynasty before; had planned to hold off on the story until seeing how the game went.
@Whirligig, Thanks! It was the idea for the holiday letter format that inspired me to think "I *can* do this".
@MarianT, Thanks! I hope it works out for her to have an up close and personal encounter with Gordon later on.
@dethdukk, Thanks! I'm excited about getting to keep the same narrator through the whole story. It's a challenge in legacies when just when I've found a narrator's voice, I have to start over with a new one.
@EtnaFan666, Thank you. It's now only five days away. What am I doing playing Sims?!? Fortunately, the in-laws won't come until Boxing Day.
