Hi! In my family meals together are 100% the way it’s done. We share a common dinner every night unless someone is traveling. We generally fend for ourselves for breakfast and lunch about half the time, but if we can make it a shared meal we do. We wouldn’t do it any other way.

[@XtineRoseElle]

That sounds like a perfect way to go about it. I love the idea of sharing a common. meal. Something to work toward! Sending hugs! xoxo

@@XtineRoseElle I feel strongly that family should make time to share at least a meal a day. It doesn’t have to be the same food - it’s more the act of sitting together in community. But everybody does the best they can or know how. 🥰

(Now that I’ve watched the whole video) - I did get the Llewellyn Sabbat Almanac even though I don’t follow the wheel of the year in any but the loosest sense and I looked through the Samhain section. None of the recipes appealed to me. I thought about doing rock spiders and even got a set of paint markers to do that with, but never found the time. The ancestor veneration stuff intrigued me. Older generations of my mom’s family made a point to clean and decorate the family graves with flowers on Memorial Day, and my mom is the last to really embrace that until she couldn’t anymore. We are over 4 hours from the cemetery in question now, and they keep it locked up, but until about 12 years ago she and my dad would still make a trip there yearly to clean the grave site. Nowadays I always buy a wreath and have his grave decorated by a veterans group for Christmas. I have an extensively family geneology and I polished it up to generate a list of my known parents to three generations back. I thought to print it and make it be part of an ancestor shrine, and here we are with Samhain upon us and I didn’t do that either. Maybe Yule will go better. That whole season is a very rich one for me!

Ugh - I missed a few typos - my family list goes seven generations back!

[@XtineRoseElle]

Wow Gina! That is amazing! Having your genealogy is such a treasure. Too see names on a page and know a bit about their lives and where you come from is really a lovely thing. 7 generations! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
