"Season of Perpetual Hope"

4

This is a complete mental purge. I've been stewing on this all day.

Growing up in New England we appreciated two things more than anything else-apple picking and the holidays. We grew up knowing that the holidays brought lots of food and lots of family. Sometimes it was annoying and stressful, but being away for the fifth year in a row makes you appreciate and remember the little things.

To me the holidays have shifted into this over capitalistic shit show. A bunch of people proving they're more well off because they bought the better gift for cousin so-and-so. There's hope that our loved ones remember that this time of the year is about being happy and surrounding yourself with the people that mean the most to you. It's time to enjoy our crazy families even if its just listening to them argue about who makes the better dinner.


What do the holidays mean to you? Anyone have any great vegetarian holiday recipes?
