The holidays can be a great time for people to enjoy time together. Here is one holiday idea. Pull out your old fondue pot and create the recipe below. Make it a special event. Why not plan time together just for conversation with no cell phones, computers or iPads? Set aside an hour or two just for conversation with a fondue event.<\/span><\/p>\n
