My twin sister Ruth is not a big fan of the holiday either, usually choosing to work. That’s why she has not celebrated the holiday in four years. But even when she has, as she did in 2019, we had full-blown Haitian dishes on the table. We did not even have a whole turkey, choosing instead to chop it up, just like we cook it in Haiti.
