How Our Family Holiday Food Traditions Have Shifted: A Conversation with My Mom

Grounded by the Farm

Holidays bring together an amazing combination of foods & traditions, but how often do we step back and talk about how our families celebrated the holidays 25, 50, even 75 years ago? That's exactly the conversation we have with my mom (Ada Person) today. She shares her memories of holiday celebrations in the 1940s explaining what was on the table for meals, the gifts & decorations all. And we talk about some of the factors that have driven changes in the seventies as she raised kids and much more recently as grandchildren and great grands are a bigger part of the equation.

Recipes for several of the dishes are now on our website https://groundedbythefarm.com/family-holiday-recipes/
