But we\u2019ve never really done what is generally accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Every year, we gather around my grandma&#8217;s table. She&#8217;s an excellent cook. After every plate is wiped clean, it&#8217;s time for dessert. Only thing is, grandma&#8217;s the worst baker in existence. The problem is, she loves baking.<\/p>\n<p>At first, nobody said a thing.<\/p>\n<p>That all changed in 2005, when uncle Jimmy spilled the beans by confessing that he didn&#8217;t find her desserts tasteful. After that, all hell broke loose. By 2009, we all knew (including grandma) how much we hated her Christmas desserts and a weird custom was born.<\/p>\n<p>We vote for the worst grandma dessert. She\u2019s in on it though, and laughs when her &#8220;favorite&#8221; one comes first (or worst!)<\/p>\n<p>Today, I believe she bakes bad on purpose. Every year, she bakes two decent desserts (oh God, they&#8217;re just decent; not good), and a disgusting mass made of sugar, flour, and ten other secret ingredients. We always try to name them, but we can never find the last one.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11835 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/natalie.jpg\" alt=\"Meet the Team: Holiday Edition\" width=\"185\" height=\"185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/natalie.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/natalie-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 185px) 100vw, 185px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Carols in November<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Natalie Petsali, Customer Success Manager<\/p>\n<p>I hit play on my holiday playlist in November &#8212; yes, I\u2019m one of those people.

Doing, or planning to do, things I\u2019ve never done, having experiences I\u2019ve never lived before.
