These type of meals..can only be made with Love...aged recipes handed down from at least three generations ago and conversation...conversation..the best conversations in the world, are the conversations, that take place in the kitchen. I don't care how much I fuss about too many people in my way while I am trying to cook, everyone seems to somehow make their way into the kitchen.
A little Fred Hammond and some Israel Houghton sets the mood for Praise and Worship...then Soulful Christmas Donny Hathaway music begins to play in the atmosphere, all of a sudden we start to dance and sing.."This Christmas, will be....a very special Christmas.... Some of us are singing in the correct key...and some not..but the passion of the singing is what moves us. We start to reminisce about any and everything...picking in the ham, licking the cake batter bowl...sneaking a fork full of greens, while the cooks back is turned...but cooks know when someone is stealing a taste of their food, so we don't trip, we just wait to see the expression of if they like what they just sampled...
The best part...and I'm sure you already know what I am going to say...Is celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. True..He was not born in December..we know He was born somewhere around the Harvest season, but since we can't actually put a date on His birth, the fact remains...He came, and He came so that I and you and whoever else that would and will believe by Faith, could be saved.
I can never get enough of saying "Jesus is the reason for the season" but I'm adding to it...I will go as far as to say..Jesus is the reason for every Season.
Be blessed yawl, enjoy your family and friends.
In Him,
Fahren
