A lifelong tradition in our family has always been that the entire family meets at my grandmothers house for the holidays. My grandmother cooks dinner for everyone and we sit a talk and enjoy the loud laughter around the house. We do this as much as we possibly can, and we all try to stay in touch throughout the year. Once we have all gathered around the house and had dinner the little kids must go out side and play until we have cleaned up the kitchen. We all love to get together and reconnect and see what all has changed between one another.
