I don't think we had any particular traditional Xmas meals growing up. Something fancy but not necessarily the same every year. Usually a Christmas Day brunch of something like cinnamon rolls that we wouldn't ordinarily want to wait through the cooking time to have for breakfast, since we'd have oranges and little boxes of cereal in our stockings to tide us over (the only time we had sugary cereals, so that was a treat, too).
Russian Christmas had traditional meals but that was two weeks later and we didn't really get to it that often while we lived in Louisiana, so I don't remember well. I think there was kulich, though I might be mixing up holidays. That peas in mayo salad, probably. I want to say some kind of roast beef type of dish - I'm not sure, but after the per-holiday fasting that seems likely.
So I just made the eggnog cake of earlier linking, and I'm afraid it's not cooled thoroughly enough to wrap up without destroying the glaze. Do we think I could just leave it on the counter overnight? Or will that also wreck it?
Is there some sort of Internet Law about people invoking the Tone Argument over something to which the tone argument does not apply?
Because I'm trying to wrap my head around someone who thinks of themselves as a Social Justice Warrior invoking it in the context of White Cock Pairing vs White Cock Pairing.
I lost the Little Drummer Boy game tonight - it was playing at the kids' daycare party.
I know a few people who do just hors d'oeuvres for Christmas Eve.
Finally, caught up: ita ! I'm glad that you got the help you needed and absolutely appalled at how difficult it was to do.
Jesse - I'm so sorry about your kitty. Even when it's time - it's not easy.
I didn't hear about Newtown until I was at my counselor's. . . he broke the news to me. I suppose that is a good thing.
I still like the LDB.
I'm glad it was peaceful in the end, and ended up feeling like the right time. It's still just so hard, I know, but hopefully that made it just the tinest bit easiest.
Hey. guess who is getting a root canal for Christmas? Or at least the day after.

Oh yeah, definitely. I'm sad, but have no regrets, you know?
Woooo, root canal! Oh wait. Not wooo, boooooo.
I lost it listening to the holiday station on XFM. And it was a totally shitty version, too. All modernized and shit.

Dang, you can put anything on an Amazon wish list.
