If there's a benefit to being one our most eastern TZ's it's definitely the ability to get an early start into christmas! Anyone yet/still awake, declaration of christmas peace will begin momentarily (in 5 minutes to be exact) http://yle.fi/uutiset/suomen_turku_julistaa_joulurauhan__yle_lahettaa_suorana/7707358 Been to christmas sauna already, had rice porridge for breakfast and the ham is done. Going to start eating it in a couple of hours, got some home made rocky road-style dessert in the fridge. And eventually when the kids hit pillows we have a bottle of wine and some Dooley's cream liquor, it's chocolatey and will go nice with the rocky road thing. And the ham... holy shit. Had a taster and it's so fine... *drools* We had a bit less gifts for the kids this year but I don't think they'll mind. I half think my daughter got an overdose of gifts last year when she received something like 4 dolls and 2 horses to go with them and so. She went all "AMAZING! now where's more?" Merry christmas to everyone in the 'Borg! May thy ham be juicy and mug never run dry!
Have a great one Sheep! See you on the other side of your monster feast! I miss getting started on Christmas Eve with the Danish side of the family to follow up with a full Christmas Day with the other side. Best situation a kid could be in.
Happy Holidays to everyone! I'm at work, but it's looking like today will be a streaming day, followed by a X-mas dinner at Mom's house, then another, tomorrow, on the day, at Dad's. So much foods.
A Very Skyrim Christmas I'll be following this with great interest. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and of course Festivus for the rest of us!
Yup, going to have a second full day of festivities at father in law's. Had some good glög (glogg, aka. hehkuviini - finnish, glühwein - german, glow wine, mulled wine,..) with the amazingly delicious ham. First observation was that it was strong, then I started getting more used to it as it hit my head really fast which is typical for me. Also typical that the effects wore off in like 20 minutes, I didn't have a lot of it and so but I was quite blasted through the meal and feasted medieval style. Kids watching Planes 2, myself just sitting back and listening to christmas songs. I really, really like this. And it's nice to know that this is just day 1, there's more. So nice. Just checking in quickly. Hope you all get your hams just right and may the
You should know better than leave it dangling like that... Whatever?? Really? You want the Borg to fill in 'Happy Fucking _______'?
