Step back in time with Christmas goose

The holiday season is a sentimental time of year. Nostalgia for past holiday seasons and excitement about what’s to come make this a particularly special time of year for millions of people across the globe.

It's not uncommon for Christmas celebrants to include a little history in their decorations and celebrations each year. Some families may read Charles Dickens' early Victorian novella A Christmas Carol together before watching one of the many film adaptations of the beloved story.

Many popular Christmas carols also date back to the 19th century if not earlier, adding another degree of nostalgia to the season. Even food can add a touch of the sentimental to Christmas celebrations.

This year, holiday hosts can create some nostalgia around the Christmas dinner table by serving this recipe for Roasted Christmas Goose courtesy of the Food Network and Mark Slawson of the The Wort Hotel in Jackson, Wvo.
