It wouldn’t be Christmas without the STUFFING!
Yeah, it’s all about the food … Okay, maybe not ALL, but there are certain holiday dishes in every household that must be made. In our house, it’s my mother’s stuffing recipe.

Celebrating Holiday Traditions

IT WOULDN’T BE CHRISTMAS IF WE DIDN’T DO THIS…by Cheryl Pierson
Growing up, traditions in my house included putting up a live Christmas tree every year—very few people had an artificial tree “back then”—and of course, setting up our little nativity set.
