What we love about Christmas is the tradition of it all. It’s a familiar succession of rituals that rarely differ - each year the family gather, with additions and absences as the years go by. The homes and hosts may vary, the gifts under the tree and the baubles hanging from it move with the times. But the recipe remains the same. And what a feast it is. Not just literally of food and drink but a feast of time to spend with loved ones, a feast of giving and sharing and maybe remembering those for whom a home, family and a laden table is but a distant hope. There’s no better time of year to appreciate the simple things. Happy Christmas!
