Advent Calendar- A Holiday Food Tradition- Fondue!

Why fondue?  I don't know why it started, but in the 1970s fondue was very popular.  That's why I still have Mom's avocado green fondue pot.  We always had fondue on New Years Eve, or Christmas Eve, when there was a long wait for a late night church service or for Dick Clark's midnight TV special.  It takes hours to eat fondue, since every little bite was cooked slowly over the pot.  It was a good way to pass the time, so we continue the tradition today!

1974, New Year's Eve fondue-
everyone  is enjoying the fun of cooking in the pot!

2004, we introduce Hubby's parents, from Spain, to fondue.
My Father-in-law had a sandwich! 
It was taking too long for him to cook his own tidbits!

2009, New Year's Eve in Londonderry.
We have the same old green fondue pot,
but we've added a small chocolate fondue, too, for dessert!
