Christmas Eve is a wonderful tradition in our home. The Englishman prepares the most wonderful feast for all the family. We will begin the meal with pulling Christmas crackers, usually done for Christmas dinner, but this is the one night this year we will all be together as a family. Son-in-law has to work, but the Englishman has already put aside some goodies for him.
After donning our paper crowns, we share in a varied assortment of fish, ham, chicken, and vegetables, including sprouts, aka "green jobs". Just when you think you can't possibly manage another mouthful, out comes the long anticipated trifle, loved by one and all.
I wish each of you a very Merry Christmas, filled with the best present of all - the " presence" of a warm and loving family.
