Ooo, where did you get that?

Google search!
The card is from Magic the Gathering, and the Ghost gathering sign is from some sort of art and music festival in Romania. They seemed apt.

It's Christmas time again!

Christmas Time!

Christmas songs? Yes.
Snow? No.

Christmas Cookies.......especially the Geeman ones!

Christmas Cookies? Yes!

Below Zero Temps? No.

My grandmother used to bake Christmas cookies and one type in particular was my favorite. She would bake a lot of those for me every Christmas and give me my own box full of them. She was a great cook. I wish she had lived long enough for me to learn from her. But while she was alive I took no interest in such things. Still not very interested but it would have been handy to pick up from her, as she was good at it.

I remember baking Christmas Cookies.

What else do you guys eat at Christmas? I'm pretty sure it differs greatly between regions and countries.
Here in Norway the main celebration is on Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day. Some places in Norway they eat cod or pinnekjøtt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnekj%C3%B8tt

In my family the tradition is pork roast with gravy, potatoes and sauerkraut (Norwegian type which apparently is a bit different than the original), and often a little lettuce, tomatoes and cucumbers on the side. And Christmas wine.
For dessert on Christmas eve we usually have a nice ice cake. It's the only time of the year outside of summer that I actually want ice cream.

I'm kinda of a picky eater myself. I remember eating plenty of christmas candy, though, especially chocolate. I wonder what others have to say?

So, for you, the 23rd is Christmas Eve and 24th is Christmas Day?

My local grocery store FINALLY got fruitcake today.......

WHEE!!

Don't people just regift those?

Some people dislike fruitcake, but I enjoy it....one of the highlights of the holiday season for me.

I like eggnog, too, and those little round pecan cookies rolled in powdered sugar......yum!
