I did not know this. How interesting. We only have turkey at Thanksgiving in my family. We have had many different kinds of Christmas meals - steak (it was pretty rare to have steak in our house when I was a kid)), spaghetti with my mom’s sauce, Swedish meatballs e.g. Japan - KFC for Christmas dinner: In many Japanese homes a KFC bucket with fried chicken is the main dish at Christmas. Thanks to a lack of turkeys and smart marketing by KFC the fried chicken is so popular you have to order weeks in advance for the holidays.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
