Christmas Round Up

Well, we survived our two Christmases. Did you? We had a very enjoyable melding of traditions, celebrating a Danish Christmas on the 24th and an American one on the 25th. Needless to say, we have a few leftovers. Wanna come over and help us out?

Roasted duck, stuffed with prunes & apples
Brunkartoffler (caramelised potatoes)
Rødkål (sweet, pickled red cabbage)
Sauce
No pudding - too stuffed!

25th

Mashed sweet potatoes
Jamie's winter coleslaw
Christmas pudding

Family Visit

Ole's folks came to visit at the start of the month for a week. Since we won't see them over Christmas, it was good we could spend some time with them now. On Sunday, we went up to Embleton for our favourite beach walk to our favourite country pub, the Ship Inn. They have THE best crab sandwiches, ever.

Christmas at No. 12

The best thing about being home for Christmas this year is that we, at long last, get to have a Christmas tree! We picked it out at the start of the month and put it up last weekend. It's small, but perfect. Can't wait to light it up on Christmas Eve!
