XMAS, FOOD, CAROLING

No we have not.Used to.Now this all change.

I ran a small youth music group on our local parish once and at Christmas we went round the streets on the back of a truck. It was very enjoyable.

Well now I read This post I see you did have traditions you did :) In my family we all just make whatever we want it’s not traditional American Christmas food. I like making different things each year.

I am not in for Christmas this year but I always liked having roast beef or baked smoked ham for dinner. Still not decided what I will treat myself with this year.

Driving around in open trucks is not done in European countries at the end of December when it may be freezing. :-(

I just heard Orville singing carols.

It changes each year. Have not planned yet for this year's dinner. I am busy putting finishing touches to that party I will be organising.

Carolers aren't a thing here. Xmas dinner tends to be heavy, but I don't know what the tradition "imposes". Meat is usually available, last year we had ravioli... for several days in a row, my father was obsessed with them at that time.

I've not seen nor heard carolers in recent years, but I'm usually working. While I've done that when younger I don't enjoy the cold and probably wouldn't do it again unless I move and live somewhere warmer. The past few years my sil has been making cheesy potatoes with a corn casserole, yum. There is also ham and many other goodies.

I took part in caroling a few years ago, but haven't seen any lately, and I think our group was a novelty.

a week ago, some young men caroled in front of our house. their voices were good, so we gave them money. it was not much, but these carolers thanked us.

Breakfast was always french toast or pancakes. Dinner was always turkey, ham or roast beef - with mashed potatoes. And if it was turkey than cranberry sauce and veggies were added for my mon and brother. But for last 3 years we've changed to lasanga. No carolers yet

Yes, so far we have it every night. Lol. Our Christmas Menu for this coming Christmas is under construction. Lol Because I haven't planned it yet.

only while tutoring some kids with their piano lessons (it just happens coincidentally that the book comes to that page!)

I haven't seen carolers lately, but I like them. We usually had ham on Christmas. I am kind of sick of both turkey ahd ham though so I might make sweet and sour meatballs or some other kind of meatballs for Christmas..maybe just meatballs in sauce in my new crockpot, and some good Italian bread..and other foods.

I haven't seen carolers since we did that when I was a kid. I would love to do it now! For breakfast we do French toast or eggs. For dinner we usually do chicken with rice or appetizers, just depends on our mood. Then dessert is cookies we make and ice cream. =)

I don't celebrate, but I remember my husband telling me about eggnog. He tried it for the first time when he lived in the US and said it's very good. Maybe I should try making it one day.

they have carolers in our local mall which gives a nice festive atmosphere while shopping. No carolers come door to door anymore.

Usually our Christmas is quite traditional except that we usually have a leg of lamb with roast potatoes, Carrots, red cabbage, sprouts and parsnips. We have what we call pigs in blankets which are sausages wrapped in bacon and gravy. Of course some like different things so there is a variety of vegetables. We normally have some kind of dessert which is a spectacular dessert or Christmas pudding with brandy butter. Later we might eat if anyone is hungry some kind of salad and cold cuts of meat and mince pies. I used to run a charity so we used to do a couple of collections in December and the Lions club used to have father Christmas come out with us and we played Christmas carols. I am surprised I did not realise you were from Guyana I thought you were from Trinidad. When I see your name I think of you as being on the lovely island of Trinidad!

No people do not carol around here, never have. When we were young the children of the family would sing carols by the Christmas tree, while mom and dad listened, my mom always made a feast on Christmas day, usually we do not have breakfast but we eat the big main dinner at noon. Then we had all day to sleep or play with our new toys.
