We’ve had a blog-alogue with Tom McGrath. Next week, on Thursday, we’re going to have a “virtual visit” from Bret Nicholaus and Tom, the authors of “The Meal Box”: They will “virtually hang-out” for the day at the blog and are ready to answer any questions and respond to any comments you might have.
In the meantime, here’s another of their questions for you.
“If you could change one thing about the way your favorite holiday is celebrated, what would you change?
Food for Family Thought: Don’t deprive your family of the holiday traditions that are part of their heritage. As time goes by, one generation may pass up as old fashioned a custom that the next generation would cherish. Resurrect the ethnic and religious customs (songs, foods, decoratios) that helped sustain a lively faith for your ancestors.”

When I grew up our wonderful Catholic parents and our Catholic parish stressed the twelve days of Christmas, from Jesus’ birth to the visit of the Magi. When I was in the Jesuit novitiate and juniorate, we prepared for Christmas, including decorations, and then had a vacation week from Christmas day until New Year’s day. Today’s commercial Christmas starts earlier and earlier, at least by November 1, and then disappears on December 26. In our household I insist that our Christmas decorations and Christmas music continue to January 6.
