We are approaching the holiday season. With all of the sales being offered the tendency can be towards competing for gifts tends to build up the tension. Those of us who did or who are buying for young people who may want the most highly demanded doll, toy, set, electronic device or mode of transportation from tricycle through car can be distracted by the chase.
Many of us have family traditions which were handed down to us and others of us have started our own traditions. I try to help my family members remember that Christmas is a time we remember that our Lord and Savior came to earth as a babe and fulfilled the prophecy by becoming Immanuel "God is with us."
Food tends to be a part of Christmas from early morning snacks through a meal later on.
I hope that each of my rallypoint friends, contacts and others I interact with has a wonderful and merry Christmas season.
Do you have a family meal tradition?

My famous Bourbon Orange-Marmalade Glazed Ham, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole. Chocolate Cake or Pecan Pie with vanilla ice cream.

The last three years on Christmas Day I've been sick and unable to eat, so I'm hoping this year will be different.

We're from Guam so if you know anyone from Guam and had eaten some Chamorro BBQ, then you know! Red Rice, BBQ marinade ribs and chicken, kelaguen, pancit, potato salad. I'm drooling right now. :)

Our traditional Christmas Main Meal has been greatly altered by the passing of loved ones as well as familial expansion via new in-laws. Time to begin new traditions...

Thank you, my friend SSG William Jones for responding and making us aware that your "traditional Christmas Main Meal has been greatly altered by the passing of loved ones as well as familial expansion via new in-laws."
May your grief be punctuated with outbursts of unbridled joy and more continuous peace rest and sleep, my brother-in-Christ.
