Christmas in Savannah

"If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him…the people who give you their food give you their heart." —Cesar Chavez

Christmas in Savannah revolves around food. Each of our families love sharing home cooked meals with us whether that comes in the form of casual, grilled meals or full Christmas Day feasts.

Everyone has contributed to each of the meals, meaning that no one person has had the full burden on their shoulders. My mom and I baked all the holiday treats including these new favorite Chocolate Candy Cane Crunch Cookies and the Best Sugar Cookie recipes.

My brother and dad have been in charge of the meat each night, ranging from grilled ribs to fried turkey.

In between all the eating, there has been laughing and joy with our families. This has been the most relaxed, wonderful holiday trip. Since last year’s holiday was ruined by my flu, this has been a healthy, relaxing treat.

We hope you and yours are having a wonderful holiday season and enjoying some much needed time of rest and cheer.

What does your family eat Christmas Eve or Day? Do you all feast on lasagna, turkey, ham or something different?
