This year for some reason, I’m in such a Christmas mood! I can’t wait til Xmas :dance: therefore, I’ve changed the header until New Year when a brand new look will be unvealed which will be different than what I’ve ever had before (keep a look out!)

This Xmas will be the first I have spent without my parents so I feel a little weird! My parents cannot make it over from Paris until after New Year so it will be just my grandfather, my brother & I for dinner on Xmas Day. Possibly my aunts will come over the night before or after Xmas Dinner to give gifts, chocolate and money.

Our family does not celebrate Xmas Eve, but rather on the day itself by exchanging gifts at around 10am, then getting really dressed up, then the girls are in the kitchen cooking while the guys drink beer and watch TV. Also, in my family, we exchange tons of chocolate, like big boxes of it and we munch some of it before the Dinner :hehe:

Xmas Dinner in my family is huge lol we stuff our faces which is fun! We eat around 3-4pm after being in the kitchen since the morning, and this year I will have to cook all this by myself

Starters
Smoked Salmon Salad (for everyone but me)
Homemade Veggie Soup
Shrimp Salad (for meeeee)

Main Course
Turkey (my dad likes having Ham too but I don’t, so I won’t cook it)
Roast Potatoes
Veggies (Carrots, Peas, Brussel Sprots)
Gravy
Sage & Onion Stuffing
Tiny Sausages with Bacon wrapped around them

Dessert etc
Fruit Trifle with Ice Cream
Coffee

Then the rest of the day is playing with gifts, watching movies on TV, and you eventually are too stuffed to move and fall asleep
