She had an enormous (at least to all of the kids) historical brick house full of unusual semi-hidden passageways (from many prior add-ons), antiques, and an additional enclosed staircase that some of the cousins could escape to to avoid a few of the others..

Always Christmas dinner-buffet style (given the number of people) and drop-in visitors from the tiny town. Big natural Christmas tree full of packages (name draw for most of them). Nice memories.
