trees release their leaves to prepare for new growth |
The Winter Solstice is December 22nd this year. I don't celebrate Christmas (way too commercial and material for me) but I'm happy for the opportunities to spend time with my family and friends. Growing up, the English side of my family always had a large Christmas Eve celebration, which is the inspiration for much of this menu.
