Having a traditional Christmas dinner is something most American families do this time of year. However my family is choosing to be different in the fact that we have decided to take a taste of a different country for the next few years. We have decided to have Chinese this year and everyone must bring their favorite Chinese dish. I know it sounds pretty weird and things probably couldn’t be any weirder already at our house, but it was a great idea when we started. I laughed so hard when my mother suggested something like this and I continued to laugh until I actually realized that she was serious this was actually something she wanted us to do. I explained that I was ok with a new Christmas dinner but our traditions should remain the same I do not want to eat new food and try a new tradition at the same time it just doesn’t work that way unfortunately. She started to laugh and told me she thought it would be a nice change rather than the same thing constantly at her house. She explained she didn’t know anything about the tradition of the country and she didn’t want our children feeling uncomfortable because we were swaying to much from original tradition. In the long run however we all thought it was a pretty wonderful idea that my mother had come up with. The only problem with the idea is that I am not sure any of us know how to cook food from other countries.
