LOL Definitely want to repeat Thanksgiving again only a month later! :)<br /><br />LoisLoishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105054210049682018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-90101891927230354372010-12-08T01:13:01.166+00:002010-12-08T01:13:01.166+00:00Don't enter me in this draw.

What we will have for Christmas depends on the mood we are in and where we are.<br /><br />Yes Kate sends books overseas. I am from Canada. I am currently reading The Italian's Forced Bride sent to me by Kate as I won it in her 25th year contest.

We have trifle for dessert. If I can find them, we have Christmas crackers on the table. <br /><br />We also have what the Germans call 'Bunte Teller', loosely translated it means colourful plates. It's a metal or paper plate full of christmas goodies, cookies, cake, nuts, oranges, apples...one plate for everyone to snack on during the evening.<br /><br />Valerie<br />valb0302@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-23567172817667751332010-12-07T17:10:25.389+00:002010-12-07T17:10:25.389+00:00I'm in Canada - turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes...I'm in Canada - turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes for sure. I mix up the veggy choices ... sometimes make biscuits or rolls ... sometimes serve tomato juice and/or apple juice/wine ... and don't always have dessert. (Pshaw, you say?) We aren't big dessert eaters here, so why gain more weight than we otherwise will? Oh yeah! We wear those silly clacker hats when we have company (as we often bring my MIL here for supper).<br /><br />We open our gifts in the morning, make/take lots of family/friends phone calls, eat a good lunch, put the bird in the oven at 1:00, head out the door at 1:01, visit 2 of my DH's brothers and their families, visit (and/or pickup) DH's mother at a 3rd brother's place, and get home between 4:30-5:00 to cook up the potatoes, make the gravy, etc. After the dishes are done, we usually play board games.<br /><br />Because I've lost 14 pounds in 5.5 weeks and plan on losing a great deal more, my Christmas plan is to eat a little bit of everything (except the dessert), which is pretty well what I do now, except there's a piece of bread with gravy with my name on it Dec 25/10!Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-33494641454355639252010-12-07T14:26:43.826+00:002010-12-07T14:26:43.826+00:00We always do the traditional turkey and trimmings....We always do the traditional turkey and trimmings.CrystalGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16613282698726922126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-77232976872565549352010-12-07T13:47:04.569+00:002010-12-07T13:47:04.569+00:00Hi, Kate,

We buy a turkey joint as a whole turkey would be way too much as it's usually just the two of us (plus cats). We have the leftover turkey on Boxing Day with chips. They have to be proper deep fried chips too. It's the only time all year that the chip pan sees daylight!<br /><br />(I'm in your newsletter group.)Julie Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-90983746676004837952010-12-07T10:28:34.047+00:002010-12-07T10:28:34.047+00:00Hi, Kate,

That's traditional Christmas fare...it's food marinated and wrapped in alumunium foil. Cooked on hot stones in an underground oven. "Lovo" is a Fijian word, whereas the Maori word for the same is "Hagi" used in NZ. Chicken, lamb and fish mainly. Vegetarians put taro and breadfruit, sweet potatoes! Served with fresh salad.Nashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14984530648140460594noreply@blogger.com
