I love this time of year because it is all about spending time with family. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite holidays. I usually only see my relatives on holidays so it is nice to be able to spend time with them. Most of my family is spend out throughout the country. I have aunts, uncles and cousins in California, Florida, Oregon, Japan, South Carolina, Colorado and all around Michigan. My brother lives in Maine and my sister lives in New York. Although, not everyone can make it to Michigan for the holidays a lot of them do.

Before my Grandma passed away we would spend every holiday at her house. My Grandma would cook huge meals for 20-30 people. She was an amazing woman and a great cook! Now we have the holiday dinners at my house and my mom cooks for everyone. So many of my childhood memories come from the holidays. It is such a fun time of the year.
