Right now I’m reminiscing about Christmas. Growing up my parents would listen to Stevie Wonder’s Christmas album and my siblings and I would spend the entire month searching for where my parents had stashed our gifts. I remember clearly the year I got a Big Wheel. I was riding that baby like a bat out of hell on December 20th when I found it in the garage. Ha! My mother was not pleased.
Anyhow, Christmas was a celebration of food, family, religion and gifts and it has not changed for me as I’ve gotten older. Last month I shared 50 Paleo Thanksgiving Recipes and there is a lot from that list that you could use in your Christmas celebration. Here are 40 Paleo Christmas recipes to keep everyone full and happy on the big day.
