Re: The Christmas 2013 thread
Our house now officially smells like Christmas, cake is in the oven and my son is covered in flour and has just cleaned out the mixing bowl :)
We also do a nice ice cream version of Christmas pudding with layers of ice cream and fruits plus more booze. |

I think most of the reason I don't like Christmas anymore is that my kids are grown now and its too hot here for all the lovely traditions. Oh, and my family are on the other side of the world :( |

That sounds lovely Jon. My son used to love to help me cook when he was little. I think most of the reason I don't like Christmas anymore is that my kids are grown now and its too hot here for all the lovely traditions. Oh, and my family are on the other side of the world :( |

Ooh I love Christmas, that sounds amazing. :)
my OH is working Christmas and Boxing day so will celebrate with our Canberra "family". After that we're hoping to have our in laws over for a couple of days and maybe go on a few outings down to the coast, etc. Must try making a Christmas cake this year, not had one of those for a while. Back in the UK an elderly family friend used to make one for us every year without us even asking her to. Her cakes were really good traditional ones :thumbup: |
Re: The Christmas 2013 thread
Made my cake in September- well it needs 3 months to get thoroughly boozy.
Have also made most of the cards now, and got in a plum pudding for OH and DD. None for me this year due to the fact that I'm gluten free by necessity, but I did find a tiny GF pud in Woolies which I have snaffled- that was also in September, but if you don't get GF stuff the moment you see it, then it goes forever. I am really going to miss stollen though- haven't seen any at all that is Gf. I do not, however feel Christmassy- DD has her IB exams in November, and I can't really think about it until they are all done. |
