The first time you cooked the holiday meal.

many people have fond memories or mom or grandma making Christmas dinner and it is a really big deal when you finally do it yourself for the first time.

Do you remember that day? Are you looking forward to that day? Do you do thing the same way or different?

I can't remember holiday meals when I was growing up so I have no idea who actually did it. I have been doing the holiday meal for so long I can't even remember the first time. However, I do remember when I have taken over certain food items. My godmother used to make rum balls. She has been sick for many years and hasn't done them so a few years back I decided to give it a go and the number demanded has grown since then. The first year I did a couple dozen. Now I can do upwards of 10 dozen.

And this year I have decided to take on peanut brittle. I have been wanting to for a long time but I decided this is the year.
