Prompt: Holiday Food
Most family or holiday gatherings are centered around food. What do you think of food during the holidays and does food affect your feelings about the holidays?

We have some traditional meals for a few holidays. On St. Patrick's Day, we have corned beef and cabbage. On Easter we have ham. On the Fourth of July, we grill hot dogs and hamburgers. On Thanksgiving, we have the traditional turkey and all the fixings including stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, candied yams, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin & apple pie for dessert.

For Christmas, we bake a honey spiral ham as well as a turkey. Christmas Day is so relaxing. We try to eat by 1 pm then graze the rest of the day.

Even if it is an ordinary day, our family visits always include food. On someone's birthday, they get to choose dinner that day. In 12 days I will choose homemade spaghetti, salad, and toasted French bread for my birthday dinner.
