Long Christmas Dinner by Thornton Wilder

A time-spanning portrait of an American family told entirely through successive Christmas dinners, where generations enter and leave the dining room to mark births, marriages, departures, and deaths; as the years pass in a seamless flow, subtle changes in ritual and conversation reveal shifting fortunes and values, illuminating the continuity of tradition, the inevitability of loss, and the bittersweet rhythm of life.
