A Holiday Dinner
For a holiday dinner, tradition’s in charge
Of the menu, the guests and the place,
With old favorites appearing as well as a few
New additions the crowd might embrace.
Once the table is set and the platters are placed,
Seats are taken and eating may start.
Conversation begins interspersed with the bites,
Everybody with news to impart.
Recognition of recipes lights up some eyes,
A connection to meals long ago.
When the family gathers at holiday time,
We know pretty much how things will go.
