You may not eat like kings all year round, but you certainly do during the holidays! Nothing like some good documentaries during the holidays! I’m quite into them myself. Just a shame you had to be sick during that time.

My family’s holiday traditions have become simpler and quieter over the years. We used to do big family get-togethers on Christmas day, Secret Santa and exchanging gifts with immediate family on Christmas Eve. Now we have smaller get-togethers - typically no more than 10 people - and we just send our gifts or give them to one another depending on when we see each other. These days it’s hard to get everyone in the family together at once. One food we’ve often made for Christmas is beef wellington, which for those who don’t know is a big beef tenderloin covered with pâté and wrapped in a pastry. Good stuff!
