Marian McQuade should be thanked for initiating Grandparent’s Day. This national holiday started in the United States to honor grandparents and foster a bond between them and their grandchildren. This occasion calls for a celebration of people who have experienced life in full, from whom you could learn and gain wisdom in leading your young lives.
This September, California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) believes that the spotlight should be put on your grandparents by celebrating and honoring their lives. As what Philippine culture emphasizes, one should give importance to family togetherness. This Grandparent’s Day, make the occasion interesting by spending time with your beloved lolos and lolas. Take a break from your fast-paced lives and bond over different activities both you and your grandparents can enjoy.
There’s no better way to learn about things passed but from the people who lived during that time. Have an instant history lesson with your grandparents and hear their personal anecdotes that go with what the books tell you. Your grandparents definitely have side stories that go with the facts that you’ve known about history and culture. This is a good way of bridging the gap, making both generations accessible to one another.
Your family can also take a trip down memory lane by getting together and looking at photographs of your grandparents when they were younger and you were much younger. This will bring back great memories of how doting your grandparents were when you were little; making you realize that it’s your turn to give back the same love and care they showed you.
People at CPK believe that great company should be coupled with great food. Start with something familiar like The Original Barbecue Chicken Pizza or the Five-Cheese & Fresh Tomato Pizza. Hear countless stories of their lives while feasting on CPK’s generous servings of pasta such as the Garlic Cream Fettuccine, Broccoli Sun-Dried Tomato Fusilli, or Tomato Basil Spaghettini. Make a foodie out of your lolos and lolas by letting them try something new. Go for the combination of Buffalo Chicken and the Pesto Crème Penne – classic dishes of pizza and pasta, infused with new and tasty flavors. This will surely make eating together an enjoyable dining experience for you and your grandparents.
