Thank you for joining in for Tuesday 4, begun by Toni Taddeo and kept in her memory.
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.
I vaguely remember The Walton's Christmas movie. Waffles sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteSilver 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.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas dinner sounds so good and very English! I would like to try Yorkshire pudding and also what is "yule log"? I thought it was a special log to put on the fire, but I guess it also is a sweet of some kind? Your Christmas brunch sounds wonderful too! Just the thoughts of everyone together doing that is what makes it best. I love Silver Bells too! This was a fun post today. Thank you, Annie.
ReplyDeletePam, Yule log or buche de noel is a jelly roll filled with mocha or chocolate and frosted to look like wood with chocolate frosting. I make the filling with whipped cream flavored with some chocolate, hazelnut and sometimes Frangelico.
DeleteYears ago when the nephews were small we had big waffle, bacon etc. brunch each Christmas Day. I enjoyed reading about your Christmas traditions.
ReplyDeleteSilver Bells is such a pretty song. Your dinner sounds delicious! Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

ReplyDeleteI loved The Waltons. Your dinner sounds scrumptious 😋 Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada 😊 ❤️ 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteThe silver bells lining the street while silver bells is playing makes for a pretty picture in my mind. When I was young the main street in town was hung with lovely coloured light bubs. I enjoyed your post.
