You too mate and to everyone here, hope it's a safe and happy one.
Forecast to be 35C here (95F) so we have the blowup waterslide out for the kids and a shade sail slung over the washing line to provide some shade for lunch. Lunch will be a roast lamb, BBQ'd prawns, various salads and of course plum pudding + icecream and custard. My father hand makes the custard so that's a highlight.

We're scheduled to get a snow storm for the next couple of days... so fairly different, although the roast lamb sounds delicious. I believe the menu at Chez Nous this year has turkey, tourtiere, and all the trimmings.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Have a great time, stay safe, and always drink responsibly!
Enjoy the snow, gdjacobs. We got our first snow of the season last week. Only lasted a day and totaled 2 inches, but we did get a few days of single digit temps and two consecutive mornings in the negatives. Now we're scheduled for 60 degrees and thunderstorms on Christmas day. 🙁 Those are Fahrenheit, hoser.
Tonight, we had goose, roasted pork, caramelised potatoes, boiled potatoes, red cabbish, chips, gravy and redwine.
For desert, we had the national x-mas desert, that are a rise porage called ris ala mande, with cherry sauce.
It is porage made from a special kind of polished rise (looks like sushi rice), boiled in whole fat milk and a stick of vanilla.
When cooled down, it is mixed with whipped cream, and chopped almonds are added.
Served ice cold with warm cherry sauce. This year, I made it from scratch. Even picked the cherries in summer.
Anyway.... The picture of the tree. (Sorry for the bad quality, it was too bright, even with the blinds shut)
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
Merry Christmas everyone, relax and have some nice holidays! ^^
