December 10 – is the first night of Hanukkah. When we are just starting to limit or eliminate animal products cultural and religious food traditions do not need to be where we begin. Though it is perfectly possible to enjoy a Vegan or Plant based Hanukkah, remember that you might prefer to start with the many other choices available to you during this holiday month!

December 8 – If this is the first holiday season you are planning to limit or eliminate consumption of animal products, consider not making it too much of a point of discussion at larger family gatherings. Remember that though you may feel others are not respectful of your choices, those same people may also think that you are condemning them for their choices. Let the gatherings be full of love – and if they want to talk to you more about it, make time for a phone call on another day.
