Introductory Post; Feelings about Food.
For those people that celebrate Christmas, either as a a secular Western holiday, or as a religious holiday, would typically say that almost every Christmas can be a memorable one, but why do people think this? For me it is not all about the presents, leaving Santa milk and cookies, or the snow on Christmas morning. When I think of Christmas, the smell of food enters my mind. I am immediately taken back in time to my grandmas kitchen. Whenever I smell homemade Italian food (like spaghetti or bread) I smile because family comes to mind. Food is a way to remember those specials times in your life. During the holidays everyone in my family goes to my grandma's house. My great grandma came to Dayton from Sicily, Italy so all of the traditions we use in the kitchen originated from her. Every Christmas my family does not have the typical Christmas dinner of turkey or ham. We have an Italian feast to keep our family traditions alive. My grandma is one of the best cooks I know. She doesn't cook just to feed everyone; she does it simply to make everyone happy. Everyone young and old come together to spend time with each other and enjoy grandma's buffet of Italian food.

Food can have many different effects on people. Whenever I was sick growing up, my mom would always serve me Chicken Noodle Soup every time. Well having the same kind of soup every time I was sick, branded my mind. Whenever I see or smell Chicken Noodle Soup,the time machine effect comes into effect and I am immediately transported back in time to when I was last sick and had it served to me. Chicken Noodle Soup is comforting to me now. Whenever I have a cold or just do not feel my best, soup is the answer.
