Christmas
How did you celebrate Christmas? To me, Christmas a great time for traveling and and having a get-together with friends. Other than that, there is not much to look forward to, since I’ve no family here in Canada. To cheer up my Christmas spirit, I might give myself a gift or two for Christmas. I know, it sounds pretty pathetic…
Last year, however, I celebrated Christmas with Miles and his family. A truly Canadian Christmas celebration; Christmas tree, treats, gifts, food etc.
I couldn’t remember the last time I was excited about Christmas and anticipated for the Christmas morning to come. Even though I never truly believed in Santa as a young kid, I was always looking forward to receiving my stuffed Christmas stocking on Christmas morning.
It brought back my childhood memory when I received a stuffed Christmas stocking in the morning! I’ve never had that many Christmas gifts in the past. Unwrapping each gift brought great excitement. That was one of the greatest fun celebrating Christmas!

Turkey and ham, with homemade beets and pickles for on Christmas day.
Homemade minced meat pie.
Plum Pudding. A must-have Christmas dessert in Miles’ family. It has a similar taste to fruit cake.
Hard Sauce, goes with the plum pudding. It is made of butter and icing sugar, and tasted like cake batter.

Cracking the nuts can be fun; walnuts, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, and almonds.
