Thanksgiving; The Supporting Cast
Posted By : Rona Gura

For the first time, in a very long time, I am hosting family and friends for Thanksgiving.  For weeks, I have been planning all different menus in in my head.   I know, for many,  the “star of the show “ for Thanksgiving dinner is  the turkey.  But, for me, it’s all about the “supporting cast,” the side dishes.

Making Due in an Unexpected Way
Posted By : Rona Gura

It was one of those days you dread while on vacation. As our cruise ship pulled into the port of Corfu Greece, we looked outside our balcony to see drenching rainfall.

Small Traditions

Sometimes, as I’m sure we all do, I wonder/worry about whether my children will accept the traditions my husband and I have tried to impart to them and continue them in their own household. When it comes to religious traditions, my children-- as my brother, sister, and I did-- loudly raise their objections. I hear annually, “Do we have to go both

One of Hallmark's ornaments for the holiday season has caused controversy following the replacement of the word "gay" while quoting "Deck the Halls." The ornament, in a shape of a red Christmas sweater is decorated with the lyric, "Don we now our fun apparel." As most of you know, the traditional line from the famous Christmas song is "Don we n
