Food and traditions

In my family, like most, all holidays are mostly centered around food. I can't think of a time when my relatives have gotten together and there hasn't been atleast dessert. The thing that has changed though in my family is eating together. When I was younger we all atleast ate dinner together at the dinner table. My mom cooked dinner and as soon as my dad got home from wprk it was dinner time. No matter what part you were in a video game or if your favorite TV show was on, it was dinner time end of story.

Now my family rarely eats dinner together. We are all older and have other priorities such as jobs, school, and boyfriends or girlfriends. My parents however are always home for dinner. I think it's a generation thing. Me and my siblings just grab something to eat on our way out the door, but my parents have to sit down and have a meal. I do think it's important to have family dinners though. It gives a chance for your family to catch up with each other, especially since we are all so busy. Now every sunday we always have breakfast. It might not be a gourmet meal every sunday, but we still all sit down with one another.
