Holiday Prep

Today I will begin to prep for the holiday. I will be having family for the first night of Rosh Hashanah. There will be twenty people so I have a lot of food to prepare. This morning I will shop for most of it and spend part of the day cooking. It will be the first holiday without my mother so I have a bit of a heavy heart. Once people arrive I will be in the holiday spirit. It will be a hard day for my father but I am sure that lively conversation will distract him.
