Oh dear! That's a sign of growing up

Well...then there is at least one grown up in here

They were, and very filling - I could barely walk when we left

Sounds like me at my grandma's place today! Especially the main course was SO much; insane!

And we have tomorrow "2nd Christmas day" (we dutchies have two christmas days! HA! ) And that's gonna be a feast too. Oh My. If it weren't for all the walking today I would have gained, for sure, a few pounds!

Suz wants to go on Christmas Day next year - that'll be SIX courses

[DutchIndeed]

Is it? I don't remember ever saying that

I won't have much for tomorrow - I don't 'do' pastels.........

Really? Must be wrong then...

I thought I didn't, but I guess I do turn out to have some...

Good luck! I think you'll need a wheelchair when you want to leave though! Too much to walk afterwards!

I'd have to fast for a week beforehand, and take several breaks between courses The trouble with Stuart's food is that it's much too yummy to leave any

And he serves hand-made chocolates - which I saw him making yesterday.........

Two Christmas Days? And do you traditionally have the same food on both days?

Nope, we have different foods. Every family has his/her own traditions.
Some for example are with the family(father/mother/children) on one day and the next with the entire family. Some go out to a restaurant for both days, some only one, some not. And there are also families that really celebrate the first day and just use the second day as a day to go somewhere(some shops/malls are open, but not a lot).

We, as far as I know, don't have a christmas eve thing going on though. That's more likely to be the evening that your at home watching TV or something like that!

[Jumble]

It sounds pretty much the same as we do in the UK, except we call the second day Boxing Day. Some of our shops are open, and a lot of the bigger stores start having their sales that day.

I've never bothered much with Christmas Eve, it's just the day before Christmas to me, and if it falls on a week day most people work. I think it used to be more of an upper class thing, but I do know some families that have their Christmas Dinner on Christmas Eve, and some even open their presents then, which I think is odd

But there you go - to each their own

[Jumble]

It's good to hear that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is apparently doing well following his heart surgery the other day - that's a huge thing for a man of 90 to deal with I've never really considered myself to be a Royalist, so I was surprised to find myself quite upset when I heard he'd been rushed to hospital. Not a nice thing to happen at any time, but right before Christmas

[Jumble]

Oooh! Now this should be interesting - we can all use different 'pastel' colours for our text........

[Jumble]

I know, I say that every year, but at least I pastelised it this time

[Devilish Me]

Awwww, such a wonderful thought Jumble...

(((huggles Martin and his wife)))))

Jann I'm so glad you liked your pressies! *hugs*

*Apparently for me pastel mostly means blue and pink

And I see you've been busy with the artwork again - nice!

[Cagranosalis]

Ah I missed most of Pink day. Not that I have pink art anyway. I might have some pastel but, not much I suspect.

I hope everyone has has a peaceful/happy/manic/wonderful/enjoyable/perfect Christmas.

And I apologise to my SS for your late pressie. Um, too much brandy for me last night and I forgot to upload it.

That's what I meant it's gonna be weird but I think I got the right colors now

Most of the artworks is already done Now I'm only sorting it trough the days Which meant some of them are renamed and I still get confused b/c I didn't rename all of them and so on...
