Feasting is an essential part to being human because it reminds us that we do not live or educate children simply for the sake of work, productivity, or usefulness. Rather, there is a very human joy and delight to be found in sitting down together with family and friends, enjoying the fruits of your labors, and joyfully giving thanks for what you have. Feasting is also an essential part of being human because it reminds us that we do not live for the sake of ourselves—feasts are meant to be shared together. Finally, feasting is an essential part of being human—and educating children— because it reminds us that we exist for the sake of something higher than ourselves, mainly the God to whom we give gratitude.
