GLAEDELIG JUL!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, this year, I had a taste for our OLD traditions.
Since my parents have pased, we have not had a Christmas Day Brunch. Here, we normally celebrate
a traditional Christmas Eve and everyone has Christmas Day in their own homes.

Normally this luncheon would be served with spilling glasses of beer and shots of a wicked
liquor of Akquavit in shots, But, everyone travels so far, that drinking and driving is not a
great idea. Instead we have coffee, cocoa, fruit juices and water with lemon.

After cookies and cake, we have presents---Lots of presents.
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas full of memories and family.
