Christmas is a bustling and happy time. Synonymous with family, good friends and happy moments, the month of December is usually a busy one. As the year winds down to an end, I always find that preparing a meal whether elaborate or simple, and sharing the moments with family and friends is one of the best ways to exhibit our appreciation. Gathering around the table and eating together is a timeless tradition in my family. I know that life is busy and demanding sometimes, but I hope that you and your loved ones were able to be together today.

I spent the last two days in the kitchen preparing for my family dinner today. Baking desserts and roasting meats, making gratins and sides. It all came together this evening and ended with happy smiling faces and bellies filled with contentment. Christmas is the season of sharing and giving and what better way to spend the Christmas holidays than with those we love.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours. May the season be filled with happiness, love and blessings.
