"November 2007 Honestly, I think a good rule during the holidays is to have fun, eat what you want, and enjoy your family because you don&amp;#039;t always get such incredible food. Everybody goes all-out and puts all the love they can into each recipe. Why not enjoy it? What&amp;#039;s great about the holidays is you can wear bulky clothes and cover up \u2014 lol \u2014 so if you eat a lot, it&amp;#039;s not going to kill you! In my family, we have big gatherings and everybody makes something and brings it to the table. My mom makes apple crisp and bread pudding. I love desserts. Sometimes I help my mom with the apple crisp, but usually I leave it to the professionals. My aunt makes the best mashed potatoes ever \u2014 she makes everything by hand. We have beautiful turkeys and honey-baked hams and sweet potatoes \u2014 they&amp;#039;re the best. Those green bean casseroles \u2014 I love them. Enjoy!
