I hope Santa brought you something nice

 

@joffa
Cute picture.

Other than the two reindeer, the only critters I can identify are two koalas, a platypus, a kangaroo (with hat and vest) and a cockatoo.

 

Not to be a downer Dave, but Saturnalia was a pagan festival.

The early Christians had a demigod, and his Father, their one true God.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and well wishes for a safe "Auld Lang Syne" to everyone.

BTW, what was in that sour wine anyway? :-D

 

Merry Christmas everyone.:wine

Cheers..

 

Thanks. And Merry Christmas to you too!

 

Merry Christmas to all !!!!

 

Hi mjnc, merry christmas.
The animals in the tree are two kookaburras, two ring tailed possums, one sulfur crested cockatoo, one galah, one rosella and two lorikeets or possibly king parrots.
The animals on the ground are a kangaroo, an echidna, two koalas, one platypus, two reindeer and probably a western blue tongue lizard and possibly a bilby in the grass.
Cheers :drink

 

Merry Christmas Dave! And Merry Christmas Everyone!

Few of my picks of this years Christmas lights-

I hope you all have a happy and safe Christmas holiday.
This is the time of the year when good will spreads around the world and we hope for peace so that our soldier sons and daughters can come home.

 

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you and your clans have a great day

 

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to all here.
It's 9:00am MST here so we're just getting going. I'd invite you all for dinner, but the online Geek family is just too big. (Also what would we talk about anyway?)

 

A very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone. We celebrated XMas eve yesterday together with the family.

 

Been so busy in the Phantom Skull Cave, that I haven't even turned on the P.C. in two days!:eek
Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Christmas from the Phantom and 'down-under".
Merry Christmas David and family!wave
@ Joffa :- Nice pic. and descriptions, I didn't know what everything was in detail, myself. LOL
The big bird has been partly consumed, dissected and the body disposed of . One thing I hate about Turkey, (apart from the eight and a half hours it took to cook it in 39C, (102f) heat wave ) is the seemingly eternal leftovers.
The monster ham is still looming in the spare refrigerator, ugh! :yum
I don't even eat much, so I look for suckers, (erm, friends) to get rid of all this grub!:drool

 

Thought I'd stop by and say Merry Xmas as well to people!

 

Do people eat turkey on thanksgiving? I thought that was only for thanksgiving. We had a dish consisting of diced steak, fries, all kinds of peppers sauted with corn, rice and potato salad. And now im going for seconds... thanks haha.

Hope ya'll enjoyed that dried up bird lol. Maybe I haven't eaten turkey that was cooked the right way. but I never enjoy it as much as chicken, fish or steak.

Anyway. Happy holidays to all.

 

Turkey is only dry when people don't don't know how to cook it properly or it's four or five days old and not been stored correctly. It's like "duck is too greasy". Yes it is, if it's cooked in a puddle of fat for hours. Cook it on a rotisserie and it's a different story.:yum

 

I see. I did mention that I might not have eaten a properly cooked turkey.


I still think I would prefer steak over turkey no matter how juicy it is. Haha


Enjoy the leftovers everybody

 

We always have two turkeys: one baked in a bag (talk about juicy!), one deep-fried. The fried is always quickly consumed, as is the most part of the baked. Whatever is left is then used in one of our other traditions: a turkey divan (if you've not tried a turkey (or chicken) divan, it is heaven on earth).

Mmm, mmm...:yum

 

We're a Turkey@Thanksgiving, Ham@Christmas crew here...

She Who Must Be Obeyed got a 11 lb. spiral cut ham as part of her bonus. Yummy!

 

Yeah, we're probably going to get a big ham for New Year's - my version of She Who Must Be Obeyed™ insists upon the traditional ham, black-eyed peas and collards NYD lunch...

I can deal with that, but I disagree with the "You can't wash clothes on New Year's Day - it'll bring you bad luck!" mantra. I mean, what am I supposed to do when I drip peas on that nice new '80s fashion madras shirt my mom gave me for Xmas? Hmm?

:confused

 

Yeah, the bag method works well. I gave the deep fried bird a miss this year as I am, (sort of) on a health kick, considering all the medical problems this year.
Funny you should talk about the Turkey Divan. That's exactly what I am cooking, (at 3:00 a.m. in the morning .rolleyes).

@ waryuser:- Yeah, I'm a steak guy too, in general, but I do like, (most) poultry as well. .

The ham has had less than a quarter consumed, and now I'm left with a huge "Fred Flintstone" looking Brontosaurus leg, LoL!
...Then there are the deep frozen giants . I get suckered into food overdoses every year. Guess I never learn.

 

haha. I love some poultry (read:chicken). Its turkey I've never been crazy about.

I'll have to try out the baked in bag method. I heard that deep fried turkey is delicious, but I can't...

I need to cut down on steak anyway. Anyone eat seafood for the holidays?

I'm gonna try to sneak some red snapper in the menu next year.:drool

 

The black eyed peas w/raw onion is de rigeur around here on NYD. Never heard the "No Wash" proscription tho... What no 70's silk shirts? :-D

Thinking about saying I'm Dutch, they believe that eating donuts on New Year's Day brings good fortune. rolleyes

 

We had lobster on Christmas day and it was yummy.

The Dutch and Belgians just love donuts and look for any excuse to eat them.

 

The reason we went with lobster was that Laurette and i are the last members alive from both family's and it is something we both like, so it would be a waste to cook a big turkey feast just for us two and be eating it for a week after christmas.

 

Hope you all a had Merry Christmas and, to come, a great New Year ! ! !
