| Testing the new sled with Dad... |
Tree? Real.
Lights: Clear or Colored? Depends on the year, we've done both. Outside we always do two giant wreaths with bows, and garlands around the door.
Favorite song? What Sweeter Music by The Cambridge Singers.
Christmas Dinner? My mother always said grace in Danish. Growing up we had a wonderful, traditional feast that reflected the red and white colors of the Danish flag: Roasted duck or goose stuffed with apples and prunes, sweet potatoes, red cabbage, beets and cranberry jam. Dessert was a traditional almond rice pudding with whipped cream, vanilla and served with a hot cherry sauce. A single, whole almond was slipped in the pudding, and a prize was give to who ever found it in their dessert.
Special current family tradition? Presents DO NOT go under the tree until Christmas Eve, and to this day the kids have to wait on the stairs Christmas morning before they are let down to see if Santa came...
Best gift ever? My baby-blue VW Beetle Bug Convertible a few years ago. It arrived with a massive green bow, and I spent the entire day in the car, in the garage, sitting in it. Top up. Top down. {The car top, that is}
Have you been good this year? Sadly, no.
Treats for Santa? Our Santa always gets a shot of Jack Daniels and a cold beer. He comes back year after year......
