< PreviousThe holidays give us the opportunity to spend time and to pause and reflect on the important things around us. Especially, making memories with our family & friends, and ALWAYS going back to the dinner table for seconds! Recipe – Grandma’s Stuffed Peppers Paul Murracas Key Account Manager Leamington, ON SEE RECIPE Christmas is one of the most important holidays for me, as it has a deep spiritual meaning in my culture and reminds me of my childhood. Being away from my family, I always try to incorporate as many traditions as possible which helps me reconnect with my roots. A very important part of the Christmas festivities in the Romanian culture is caroling. Children go from door to door on Christmas Eve and sing traditional carols in exchange for cookies or money. Adults use this tradition to get together with friends and have dinner together on Christmas Eve. We spend Christmas Day around the table with all the family enjoying home cooked meals and baked goods.

I remember as a child anxiously waiting for Christmas day to open our gifts and a house full of family. All my mom’s sisters with their families would be over to enjoy opening gifts and have an amazing dinner that would take my mom weeks to prepare! It was a warmth that made the holidays for me the best time of the year. I have now taken over hosting, with of course my mom still contributing her famous turkey, made in her outdoor oven. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year! Recipe – Creamy Turkey Tetrazzini Brenda Necic Key Account Manager Leamington, ON SEE RECIPE The holidays to me mean family traditions and unwinding with loved ones. Lots of laughing, reminiscing, and eating delicious traditional Lebanese dishes. Losing my father this year will make the holidays feel different, but to him there was nothing more important than holding the titles of son, father, husband, brother & uncle. I will continue to celebrate his legacy by keeping old traditions and making new ones with my family.
