MERRY CHRISTMAS

CHRISTMAS GIFT!!!  Old tradition in our family.  Don't believe it is original, but we used to have fun seeing who could say it first to each other.  Of course the answer was, "Give it to me."  followed by laughs.  Ahh tradition.  How sweet the memories.  We enjoyed the Brown side of my family last night.  That fried chicken was heavenly.  Thanks to mamma for that one. I have heard others tell of their family tradition for the food at the Christmas Eve dinner.  Some strange options.  Wonder how that got started?  Catching up with my family was good.   May that tradition continue.

Big dinner at daughter's home with the other side for today. Traditional  turkey and dressing.  We just can't get enough of cornbread dressing.  Southern style with gravy.  And why do we have cranberry sauce so seldom?  Especially when it now comes in cans.?  Oh! did you not know?  We used to make it from scratch. Some still do.   What a job!!  Just like a lot of foods now, it is so much less trouble.  I am for that.  But sometime it is good to remember.  You have to be my age to remember most changes.  Hooray for change or is it for memories?
