This holiday season, we’ll be hosting one gathering and traveling for another, so our needs are all over the map. Over the years, we’ve both compromised and now, nearly a decade in, we’ve landed on some kind of British/Canadian/American mish mash of a menu that’s comprised of each of our must-haves. Most magical time of year, so naturally we want our own traditions to carry on. The same family tensions and confrontations that most people face around the holiday dining table, glares over who has hogged the baby cuddles more that day and yes, as trivial as it may seem, butting heads over what should go on the holiday menu. We tend to be filled with gratitude and laugh extra hard during the holidays, but there’s a few things that always bubble up to the surface around that time, too. I love my husband and I love all of the British traditions that have become part of mine and my kids’ lives because of him …except when it comes to holiday meals.
