Day 8: Christmas Dinner<\/span><\/h1>\n

Growing up Christmas dinner was at Grandma Eve’s house.\u00a0 She always went to great effort to give us a delicious feast.\u00a0 We usually saw our Aunts and cousins whom we didn’t see that often.\u00a0 My mom was always in charge of bringing an apple pie.\u00a0 The kids would sit at the kid table which was usually in a different room than the adults.\u00a0 We would put olives on our fingers and really have a good time.\u00a0 The best part of the meal, in my opinion, was grandma’s rolls.\u00a0 When we moved to Grants Pass we went back to grandma’s the first year and almost slid into a mountain.\u00a0 This was the last of that family tradition.\u00a0 My mom still made grandma’s rolls and we would have a big spread but it wasn’t the same without grandma, aunts and cousins.\u00a0 The tradition changed into more of a Thanksgiving holiday tradition.\u00a0 My grandma can no longer make the meals for us.\u00a0 We are so far now from family that around this time I really do miss those moments at grandma’s.\u00a0 Just not the same with my small family. When my family grows maybe my home can become grandma’s again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
