At the end of a long dirt driveway lined by 23-year-old pine trees in Middle Georgia sits The Old Home Place, where my family has celebrated “The Cookin’ ” each Christmas for more than 30 years. Since the mid-1950s, the Faulks have gathered in Twiggs County during the week of Christmas to eat, drink and be merry — and to slow roast hog meat in an outdoor, handmade fire pit. The Cookin’ began as a prerequisite to Christmas Day, when the pork was the main event at the Faulk Family Christmas Party.
