While the holiday season can be a favourite time of year for many, for others it can be the most difficult.
The last holiday season was really hard on my family as it was our first one without my dad. He was the person who was always at the centre of our dinner table to say grace, carved the turkey at Thanksgiving and saw the looks on our faces when we would open our gifts on Christmas morning. My dad loved getting the biggest Christmas tree in the lot and every year we would have a party just to decorate it while listening to Christmas music and eating our favourite holiday cookies. Without my dad here with us celebrating, the holidays felt empty no matter how hard we tried to make the season bright.
That’s why this holiday season I decided that I wanted it to feel different. I knew that we had to create some new traditions together as a family, and the decision was easy. With as much community outreach work that we do in WWE (Connor’s Cure, Susan G. Komen, Special Olympics, Make A Wish), I also wanted to be able to give back to our local community where I live.
For years I had been collecting items in a storage room in my house. I had a huge box of WWE action figures, including dolls of my dad and I, along with other WWE merchandise such as shirts, hats, posters, ringside chairs, ornaments, video games, and things I had collected on numerous tours around the world that were piling up. I decided to donate them all (10 boxes!) to our local Salvation Army. So many people love WWE, but maybe don’t have the money to buy their child a toy or a T-shirt of their favourite WWE Superstar. It felt so good to drop off all the items and to be able to give back. I knew that the items would make a huge difference to someone else’s life, especially to a child who maybe wouldn’t have a Christmas present because their parents couldn’t afford it.

With the holidays quickly approaching, I’m preparing myself for my favourite foods of the year like turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, brownies and cookies. In the Hart family, we like to feast!
When I think of my greatest cooking inspirations, I think of my grandfather Stu Hart, my aunt Georgia and my sister, Jenni. They are indeed three generations of cooking excellence! Everything my grandfather knew about cooking and preparing the greatest Christmas dinners he passed along to his daughter, Georgia. My aunt Georgia was my grandfather’s backbone both in and out of the kitchen and has been for the family all of her life. She’s strong, nurturing, tough as nails and no one can make mashed potatoes, chocolate cake or a batch of chocolate chip cookies like her. Don’t even get me started on her macaroni and cheese because it’s so delicious. My mouth is watering just writing about her creations in the kitchen!
I asked my aunt Georgia about her culinary inspirations, and she said, “I enjoyed helping my dad in the kitchen. He was so ahead of his time and so inventive yet practical. This created a passion for food and cooking that lead to my formal studies as a chef. I still love cooking and preparing for food for friends and family. I spent the next 40 years catering the legendary Sunday dinners, American and Canadian Thanksgivings, Christmas, Easter and numerous Hart family weddings. As the family grew, this hundred dash became a marathon. I’ve also taught cooking classes at the Cookbook Company for 24 years, which gave me enormous satisfaction! When I would see the enthusiasm, interaction and confidence reflected in my students’ eyes, it made me love being in the kitchen that much more! I’ve always thought of food as a sensory experience. It covers all the five senses. I often wonder what my dad, Stu, would think as we still carry on our Hart family dinners that he started so many years ago.”
