Holiday Specials.

A new week has begun and a new set of 4 questions at Tuesday 4.

 

Thank you for joining in for Tuesday 4, begun by Toni Taddeo and kept in her memory.

Christmas is fast approaching for billions of people...

1. Do you have a favorite Christmas carol and if so is there a particular version you especially like?

There are a few I enjoy.  Silver Bells is one because it was playing on the main street of my hometown during the winter holidays.  Silver Bells were hanging as decorations spanning the street from side to side.

2.Do you have a special dinner for the holidays? What foods are included?

Roast beef, roasted potatoes, brussels sprouts, Yorkshire puddings,  gravy, rolls and yule log ,and in childhood it included plum pudding with hard brandy sauce and fruit cake with rum sauce. 

 3.Holiday movies ... which do you like to watch?

We always watch A Christmas Carol with George C Scott... The Bishop's Wife with Cary Grant, David Niven and Loretta Young.  Then of course we see Meet Me in Saint Louis!  I also am big on the Walton Christmas story.

4. What traditions do you continue to keep year after year for the holiday.  Watching the traditional movies, decorating the house, big brunch with the family including eggs, waffles with ice cream, bagels and toppings, Swedish meatballs, etc.

  2. Silver Bells is a great Christmas song. I'm not familiar with any of those Christmas films. Your Christmas meal with very similar to mine, good to see those Yorkshire puddings enjoyed! :) I love a Yule log too, I've not had one on the past few years but the thought of it is making my mouth water! Have a lovely week.
