What a lovely memory! I think a lot of people here can probably relate to that. It’s funny how the smallest traditions can leave such a lasting impression over the years.

Those family days back-to-back were always filled with tons of food, laughter, and probably a few late nights. It’s hard to beat that kind of togetherness. That’s the kind of tradition a lot of us really miss.
