Holiday Traditions

[ROman]

Finally put the tree up, some close ups of some of my favorites, a lot from UK. Then I have to close the door due to two pesky cats that think the tree is their toy. Next holiday tradition is Christmas Day Prime Rib roast.

Our second traditional advent dinner is pork rib with white sausage, sourkraut, stewed apples and prunes, and so on. Very fatty, very good.

The rib prep starts two days before with scoring and salting, then it is a four hour slow cook. The rest of it is very straightforward. Just add family.

Beautiful family you have there Sir!

Thank your! But this is not a complete picture. The two smallest ones are missing as the dinner was planned to be after their bedtime (they are 3 and 5 years old). Full house.

Big fat stockings are something I grew up with. To this day at the age of 47, if I celebrate xmas with my mother I’ll get a carefully curated, bountiful stocking.

This year my Mum and Dad are bound to the UK by covid, but I’m channelling her spirit any packing something special for my little guys.

Xmas tree is up…

One bauble has pride of place

It makes me said when individuals from your glorious country say things in the media or on social media that diminish said country on an international stage. Don’t be one of those individuals Chris, strive to be all you can be [emoji8]
