It’s hard to believe how quickly time flies by, but this year my son turned seven years old. As each year passes, we start new traditions–some are my childhood traditions that I share with him and the others are experiences we create together. Whether they revolve around dining with family and friends or making baked goods for the jolly man in the white beard arriving on Christmas Eve, they all seem to have one common denominator–food! Even if you’re not a parent, the month of December is all about getting into the spirit of the holidays and planning for the festivities to come.
This month our contributors visited some of the most interesting hotspots in town, and I’m sure they will add some variety to your holiday traditions this year!
