Every since I was old enough to take over Thanksgiving cooking I have. Its my day to let my mom sit back and relax... plus I'm greedy with the kitchen.. I want to do it all.. the turkey , cornbread dressing, green beans, pies, mac n cheese ..you name it. Now I'm trying to share the kitchen with my younger sister so that when she gets married hopefully next year she will be able to handle Thanksgiving on her own at her house.
My older brother and his family always join us. We just get together, say the blessing and eat.. then if everyones not in a food coma we build a fire outside and I make mochas for everyone and we just sit around and talk.
Christmas time is so fun for me.... I do a ton of baking. Besides the many cake orders I get from clients ... I make and giveaway a lot of edible treats as gifts. The people closest to me... I start now buying stuff and continue until Christmas.. I like making up baskets of a lot of stuff they like. On Christmas morning we gather in the living room and my little brother reads Luke 2 , then we pray and thank God for his many blessings all year round.
Instead of Halloween we usually have a Family Fall day at church for all the children where all the families participate and make games and goodies for the kids.. its a lot of fun
