While in the kitchen today making a stew that's traditional in my family it occured to me that December has been an oddly satisfying month of blended holidays

I think Miriam is the only one making purlue stew this year. If she didn't live so far away, I would be banging on her door begging for a bowl. I have never made it myself.(gah, too much trouble and then you have to clean up the mess...ick) I think some of the best purlue I ever had was made with chicken, so yours should be great.
Blending traditions is a wonderful way of celebrating. Maybe next year, my family will do a toast.(Only in English, of course)
May this new year bring you and yours, another year of bliss and happiness. Happy New Year to All!
I agree with Aunttoes, Miriam is the only one left in the family to make that stew....with the possible exception of Ethelyn. She usually makes a BIG pot of stew for her entire family for Christmas Eve (when they get together and exchange gifts). This year, however, she did not do this and opted to go to the Dillard House with me for Christmas Lunch.
Some traditions die a slow death. It's the younger generation (like you) that keep it alive. THANK YOU for that.
Also want to wish you, Bjorn, your beautiful daughter and her adorable baby boy, and all your extended family a very Happy, Prosperous, and Blessed New Year.l
