Holidays Are Taken Best with Food

Holidays are taken best with food
As empty stomachs lead to irritation,

Particularly bad for conversation,
Prone to undermine a festive mood.

Yet holidays with food can often be
Helpful in maintaining a relation,

Offering a timely celebration,
Locus for extended family.

In holidays a temporary junction
Delays eventual disintegration

As generation follows generation,
Years of culinary dedication
Sensing well the beauty of its function.
