HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY and welcome to our board. I guess everything slows up as we get a bit older. Even when I am moving fast it's not so fast. LOL
I have to run now but I'll be back later. Once again Andy, welcome and its's nice to meet you. Bye now.

Hello again everyone. Until I came to this site I thought most peoples Christmas's were much the same but after reading about Slavika's I realise I was wrong. That is so nice setting a place at the table to remember deceased family members.
Christmas in Ireland is now also sadly very much commercialised. We are bombarded by adds on TV and elsewhere weeks before Christmas about what to spend our money on for presents and the kids are getting more expensive presents every year.

Christmas: Yep to much Commericalism. Each year it seems to get earlier and earlier. Wish it wasnt so.
But the tradtion in my family and I dont even remember when it got started. But Christmas Eve we always had Mexican food. I use to make homemade Tortillas and Chili Verde, every year. We would just sit around and talk and enjoy the family. Christmas day was always sitting around a fire and opening presents and then cooking a big meal for later and more enjoying family. Still do the same but I buy Fat Free tortillas now. To much trouble to make them. Lazy in my Young age Think my family just likes Mexican food as there is no Spanish in us!

Slavika: Your tradition sounds really neat! Cept the throwing to the ceiling, wouldnt want to clean that up!. Probably why you dont do that one! You can use ALAS all you want. I had an ALAS day yesterday. Went to work turned Puter on and nothing, it crashed. So I went to another puter and it wouldnt let me on the internet at all. I always go in early so I can get my mail read the board and have coffee before the day starts, but couldnt yesterday. Now thats ALAS!!!!!!

Welcome Andy. And Happy Birthday! Sounds like you are doing good on the losses so far. It seems to be slow for me to. When I first started it came off pretty fast but now its pretty slow. But I keep hanging in there.

Anne: would like to hear the traditions in Ireland to!

Went to WI today and lost another pound. Also my Leader said that we dont get the new material until the 16th. It will start rolling out next Monday the 11th. I was hoping for next week as my leader has been raving about it.

Have a great day all!

So a typical Christmas in my house. On Christmas Eve I do the last minute grocery shopping and try to keep the housework up to date. I make stuffing and usually cook the turkey overnight in the oven. I used to make sherry trifle on Christmas Eve but I must be getting lazy so I just now go for a simple pudding such as ice-cream. My hubby goes down to the pub for a wee drink every Christmas Eve and comes home about 11.00 PM.
Once the 'kids' (20,17 & 14) are in bed I leave out their presents in the front room where the Christmas tree is. On Christmas morning we go to mass and then I come home and prepare the dinner which is usually:
Turkey, ham, stuffing, brussel sprouts, carrots, roast potatoes & gravy. (I don't bother with a starter) Then pudding.
After dinner I usually have a wee nap because I am so exhausted. About 8.00 PM we all go to visit my in-laws and have a party and a few wee drinks and a bit of a laugh and we come home at about 1.00 AM.

Flaggies - The weather here is wet and miserable as it has been raining for weeks and we have not seen much sunshine for a long time. Australia sounds so nice.

Got to go
Talk to you all soon

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak but there echoes are truly endless"

All the best everyone
Anne
