Alicia F. Greenaway - Riemer & Braunstein LLP
"Our family usually spends the holidays "liming" (a West Indian phrase for hanging out) and feasting. After an early church service, we have a breakfast called "saltfish" and the kids open presents. The rest of the extended family then comes over. We spend the rest of the morning cooking -- punctuated with laughing and jesting. Our feast includes traditional West Indian dishes. After eating, we usually sing and dance to Caribbean Christmas music to burn the calories. We then circle at the table and talk about what Christmas means to each of us. The last family members usually don't leave until late into the night."

"I like following the same ritual each year - a Christmas Eve service and dinner with family and friends. After getting married, I rediscovered the joy of opening presents on Christmas Day. I end my ritual by writing my New Year's resolutions, hoping I will achieve more each year."

"The holidays represent my chance to reprioritize my life - if momentarily - and spend quality time with family. There will be too much eating (and drink) in several different venues between routes 128 and 495 with various members of family on my side and my wife's side."

Eric D. Karlberg - Nixon Peabody LLP
"This Christmas, I will be taking a modest break to trim the tree, overeat and enjoy time with my family. And, in the tradition of our esteemed profession, I will return to my billable hours on Tuesday. Wishing you all a joyous holiday season!"
