Merry Christmas! When I was child we spent Christmas day at my Grandma's house on the farm. There was Grandma, Grandpa, Great Uncle Frank, and at least five families with lots of kids. We always had lots of snow so we were all bundled up in our snowsuits and played a lot in the snow and having snow ball fights. My older brother, John, was so sneaky and would attack us with tons of snow balls. We didn't have computers, so we spent many hours outside, and always had fun. I had many cousins, two brothers and a sister. All of the kids ate dinner in the kitchen and the adults ate in the dining room. We all got involved in preparing and serving dinner. I believe that was the beginning of my culinary passion.
So get your children involved in your holiday dinner. No matter what age, even the youngest child can put rolls in a basket and carry the basket to the table. Life should be all about family and belonging. Getting together and rejoicing about the good things in life. When you get a child involved in helping in the kitchen you "pay it forward" because it will be something that stays with them for life, a fond memory and special, warm moment. Happy Holidays!
