At CHRISTMAS DINNER?

Even if you're not very religious?

Being of Swedish decent my grandmother who spoke broken english always recited the following (sorry I can't type all the doodads that accompany Swedish words):

"I Jesu namn
till bords vi ga
valsigna Gud den
mat vi ta. Gud till ara
oss til gagn sa fa vi mat
I Jesu namn
AMEN

Yes, Thanksgiving and Christmas always.

In Jesus’ name
to table we go
God bless the food we receive.
To God honor, to us gain
so receive we food
in Jesus’ name


Yes, we say grace on holidays.

Before every meal at all family gatherings.

Yes everyday. And before your meals

Yes I thank Jesus for the food I eat. It's also in the Bible to give thanks to God.

Have some religious folks in the family, and some that aren't. If someone wants to say grace that's fine. Sometimes it's not brought up and that's fine too.

My mom always said a prayer before she eat anything and give thanks for whatever it was. I do the
same, no matter if it's just 1 bite of anything. And I mean ever word.

Thank you Yotetrapper! I actually never knew the exact english translation. You made my day!

Yes all meals

Yes every meal

My granddad used to say, "Good bread, good meat. Good God, let's eat!" I don't know if that counts.

Yes,

Komm; Herr Jesu side du unser Fast; was du uns besheret hast

Of course we give credit to where its due....

My aboriginal friend says rub a dub dub thank God for the Grubs!!

Always no matter where we are. Always before the 1st bite anywhere even if I am by myself.

It's the right thing to do.

We always do before family dinners, and try to before all meals

All meals

Before Meals Every meal.

Throughout the Day. Especially after working cattle.

Pray to the Father in Jesus Name

We are not very religious, but at both Thanksgiving and Christmas my family had my youngest nephew say Grace.

"Bless us, Oh Lord,
and these thy gifts which
we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen."

I usually initiate it.

I am not really a Christian, but I do Christian prayers every night, at other times and try to be thankful.
