Second Christmas Dinner
So ever since I can remember my family (the Allreds) have had Spaghetti and Meat Balls for Christmas Dinner (notice the respect that it received, capitalized). My parents wanted to start a tradition and asked the kids what they wanted for Christmas Dinner. Of course our first response was McDonalds. That was not possible, because we lived in Dubois WY where there is no McDonalds, nor was it wanted by the parents. The next suggestion, by my brother, was spaghetti and meat balls. Of course if my brother wanted it, so did I. The vote passed two to one. It has been a tradition ever since. I have many fond memories of eating Spaghetti and Meat Balls every Christmas Eve ever since. My family came to Salt Lake for the new year celebration and my dad brought some meat balls that were pre-made so that the tradition could continue. As you can see by Gabe's face, he loved them. He ate several, it was pretty funny.
