The festive season is almost upon us, and everyone has started getting ready for the much-anticipated joy of the Christmas period. Long hours of browsing through shops or scanning websites for that special gift are interspersed with invitations to seasonal parties and family lunches. Houses are decorated accordingly, Christmas trees are dusted off and festooned with bright lights, and the musical notes of Christmas carols permeate the airwaves.
But Christmas is so much more. This celebrated feast is about families coming together for anticipated social occasions and indulging in each other’s company. It is about connecting through traditional events and seeking additional time with loved ones. And, of course, Christmas is synonymous with delicious food and cherished family recipes from bygone days.
These long-standing culinary delights are an ingrained custom which endures, long after these recipes were first created. Memories are revived as we savour the tastes and aromas from our childhood Christmases. These evoke recollections of our nearest and dearest, as well as precious times of family bonding and familiar occasions.
When Christmas Day comes around, family connections are renewed, as we gather around the table laden with mouthwatering food and tender warmth. Unexpected surprises abound, and affectionate hugs are shared. The turkey is placed at the centre of the table, and generous portions of food are passed around. There is no other fundamentally traditional occasion like the treasured Maltese family lunch on Christmas Day
For four decades, Smart Supermarket has journeyed with Maltese families and shared in the cultural traditions they love so much. Right from the start, Smart Supermarket has connected with the people who paved the way for their children and grandchildren and opened up a world of much-loved Christmas traditions and delicious treats for many generations. This well-established supermarket has always connected with families through committed support and a vast selection of choice products.
As Christmas approaches, we will spend long hours with our loved ones, browsing happily while searching for that special ingredient with which to complete our home-made custom recipe. Through the years, this significant day of jubilation has left us with nostalgic memories evoked by the traditional routines which are repeated every Christmas. Families can look forward to a remarkable celebration with fresh experiences of time-honoured customs, and together, they will create new memories to carry on into future festivities.
