Our co-founder Betsy Wiggins will host our holiday get-together at her home on 305 Carleton Drive in Syracuse. We will gather around the yule log in her fireplace in a comfortable setting to share our individual stories of the traditions we hold dear from our varied cultures. We will also be sharing food, as that is always a part of our gatherings. If you have a certain food item that is particular to your tradition and culture, please bring it\u2014and be prepared to informally share its significance it in your culture. Also, please bring any \u201cprops\u201d that go along with the tradition (special candles, stars, hats, songs, whatever!).
