I have been doing a lot of reflecting, lately, given the holiday season. I think back to my childhood Christmases in Europe, and I realize that our Christmas Eve dinner was not entirely dissimilar to the idea of American Thanksgiving, which I experienced for the first time this year.
The Christmas Eve dinner would have twelve dishes, to represent the twelve Apostles, though we would have fish and vegetables instead of your turkey. The children would perform a little song or a poem, or something similar before they could open their presents. Though that was just in Lithuania, Christmases in France were a bit different.
It makes me miss my parents, my dear little sister, my aunt and uncle. In a way, it makes me long for a family Christmas again.
