Don't get an Electric Meat Grinder Before Reading This

For most people in the world, holidays means family and friends gathering together to enjoy time together, usually with a carefully prepared meal as the centerpiece. That means a lot of food and a lot of food preparation. As the primary cook for my family, it can be exhausting to prepare enough food for a large gathering, even if everyone brings something. Since meat is typically the cornerstone of a delicious meal, it gets the most attention and can be the most time consuming, but even things like chopping a large volume of vegetables--a laborious and monotonous task if there ever was one--can take a very long time if there's a lot to do. At the end of the day, while the holiday meal is a big part of the holidays, nobody (including your family and friends) wants you to spend YOUR holidays slaving away in the kitchen and not enjoying the rest of it with them.
