“This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.” The Usalis family had a few fun holiday traditions when I was growing up! We always did stockings first and had to close our eyes as we walked past the tree to the fireplace where our stockings were hung . We also always watched the movie, and I remember loving hearing my mom laugh and laugh every single year.
Every year on Christmas Eve, my family has a Swedish Christmas dinner! There are several courses with some of my favorite dishes, including homemade Swedish meatballs and pickles, deviled eggs, pickled herring , and mulled wine. We always open one present after dinner, too. My favorite holiday is New Year’s Eve and I’m excited to celebrate with family and friends in San Diego this year. I love staying up until midnight and the excitement of starting a new chapter in my life.
