According to the Farmer’s Almanac, “the first day of winter in the Northern Hemisphere is marked by the winter solstice, which occurs on Saturday, December 21st at 3:21 A.M. (CST)”.

It is still very cold and getting colder.

Transitioning from Thanksgiving to Christmas

Thanksgiving decorations have come down, making way for Christmas cheer. It feels fitting to kick off the holiday season with a day focused on gratitude. Amid the busyness of “to do” lists, it’s worth pausing to reflect on the “thanks for” list.

A Family Thanksgiving on the Farm

For the first time in years, we celebrated Thanksgiving at the farm! Sharing the day with new family members made it even more special. The kitchen was full of cooks, the food was delicious, and the love was abundant. Holiday food is more about love than nutrition. 😊

Family Kindness Brought Back a Beloved Tradition

It was a heartwarming reminder of how love and effort make holidays so meaningful.

I am so thankful for your support, encouragement, and kindness over the years as we have explored how soy foods can improve the health of the next generation.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
