A Time for Sharing Over the years a number of friends have honored me with invitations to celebrate different holidays with their families. I have enjoyed each experience greatly and also noticed some beautiful similarities. When possible, families spend the holidays together. My friends all celebrate with light. They light candles, lamps, fireworks, a bonfire, a fireplace or colorful electric lights. All of their celebrations involve a feast or end with a feast. All of my friends share stories about their faith with their children. This month’s list includes some of my favorite children’s holiday stories and feast recipes from around the world. I hope you find something here to share with the people you love.
