The Heart of the Season
BY LAURETTE RONDENET
ince I was little, the winter holidays have always felt
magical. Thanksgiving and Christmas were filled with
tradition in the Rondenet household; lots of family, lots
of food, lots of love and lots of laughter. I can still picture my Dad—my mentor and guiding light—always sitting at the head of the table grounding us. I still cherish these traditions to this day, and they’ve found new life in my own family.
