Big Family Dinners

Most holidays everyone gets crazy about creating large family dinners. Sometimes one person does all the cooking, sometimes other members bring a piece, sometimes the pieces are brought and prepared together, and sometimes the members eat out.
I enjoyed the big family dinners for the holidays but the stress of making sure the dinner was good and there was enough to feed everyone was not fun. For the last few years, Thanksgiving has been the one holiday I have been blessed to not have to cook. Our family has started a new tradition for Thanksgiving which gives my mother-n-law, sister-n-law, and myself the ability to enjoy the time with family without the stress of preparing the food.
With every holiday the key ingredient is family and the point is to enjoy that ingredient. So, no matter what your traditions are don't forget the point of the get-togethers, the main ingredient, "FAMILY" is the reason.

Happy Holidays to you all!
