Whatever your faith, whatever you feel about Christmas, you will recognize that feasts - be they the European Christian harvest thanksgiving, the US thanksgiving, Christmas, Shrove Tuesday, the summer solstice, coming of age, wedding feasts or wakes - have had a place in all known cultures. It would be extraordinary if Paleo cultures did not share this common thread. Let's start making notes now - meal planning, shopping, negotiating among family members to decide the menu of the special meal(s), the day itself - successes and failures, sacrifices and triumphs, - and share them around the Paleofood community, possibly as a Boxing Day task. But even more importantly, have an enjoyable, safe, healthy and enriching break from routine. Keith
