CHRISTMAS WISHES 2016



Thank you all for the Christmas wishes of the last few days.  We wish you all nothing but the best, hope you have a wonderful Christmas, have some great time with family and friends and of course, eat lots of wonderful food.

Speaking of, last night was Christmas Eve tamales, a tradition we have, and today we're doing a ham dinner with lots of sides.

Pics to follow!

Oh, and we do have a question we ask occasionally around the holidays:

When do you open presents?

Christmas Eve?
Christmas Morning?
Other?

  1. Wishing you both a very happy Christmas!

    The food traditions are great fun, aren't they? We have pepperoni bread for our Christmas Eve, homemade doughnuts and Scotch eggs for Christmas breakfast, and this year our own brined pork roast for dinner.

    We open presents Christmas morning! Just the two of us so we can get it done before critter chores. :)

    1. Do you know I've never had a Scotch egg? I SO need to try that. And we LOVE pork roast (never thought of brining one though that is a great idea). Thanks for sharing!!!

  4. Merry Christmas from Maryland.

    We open gifts on Christmas mornings most of the time. We have been known to do one or all the night before. Not this year though. Off to my youngest sister's home for dinner this evening.

  5. A very happy Christmas to you.
    My Christmas tradition is a huge bowl of fruit salad - often all I can face at the hottest time of the year. Presents are opened on Christmas morning.

    1. LOL, we forget how hot it is in other parts of the world. It's crazy to think of Santa and the reindeer in the heat, ha. I just think of Christmas as cold and snowing. Of course, we broke a record high here on Christmas Day (81!) so......... ;-P

  6. I love the vintage Christmas card!
    Sounds like some really good food at your house.
    As for gift-opening, when I was a kid we always opened gifts on Christmas Eve.

    1. love the old cards, I used to have a great collection, but they were all stolen in an apartment breaking back in the 90's, ugh. Growing up, we were always Christmas Eve, 2nd Man was more Christmas morning, so we've kind of done both over the years.

  9. Merry Christmas to you and your loved one. Christmas Eve we go to Church. This is followed by an Italian style "spuntino" consisting of breads, cold cuts, cheeses and a shrimp. Ring . The next morning it's freshly home made cinnamon buns, piping coffee while we open our gifts.
