Oranges are good any time of year, and we are lucky they are available whenever we want them.
I can remember my grandfather on my dad’s side of the family, telling me that when he was growing up, it was a real treat to get an orange in his Christmas stocking. Back then, oranges were not easy to come by like they are now.
Hearing about that made me appreciate the orange I always received in my own Christmas stocking. I hadn’t realized until then that it was an old tradition. Not all family stories that involved oranges were so nice, though.
