Dwellar Christmases

Sundae · 12-25-2009, 09:29 AM

Post what you want, pics, vids, Christmas wishes etc.
I know there have been lost of Christmas threads, but I've not found any applicable for exactly what I want to say. For those in the same predicament, here it is!

Turducken. Or three bird roast.
The stuffing was lovely, but the roast tasted mostly of chicken (shhhh, don't tell Mum)

Dinner table laid for the three of us - we gave up after Christmas pudding, eschewing the usual chocolate liquers and cheese & crackers. We're getting old!

Sundae · 12-25-2009, 09:31 AM

My plate.
Roast parsnips & brussels sprouts on Mum & Dads'. Bleurgh.

Christmas pudding after we'd all been served. Too many nuts in for Mum & me. But a lovely rich taste all the same.

Sundae · 12-25-2009, 09:33 AM

Pudding in bowl with Double cream.
We didn't heat the brandy hot enough to set it alight. But it was doused anyway

Still pic of the toasting.

Sundae · 12-25-2009, 09:35 AM

And our toast!
As I said in a previous thread - I didn't really think through being closest to the camera! What a fatty

But we wanted to toast you all.
No names because Mum is very careful re YouTube (note, not even my brother and sister are named).

That warmed my heart! Bravo.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, SG!

so, the other day, I got a program for my phone called "Itookthisonmyphone." it automatically uploads pictures you take on your phone to a hosting site which you can select public or private albums for. It didn't say anything about video, but i took this a few minutes ago, and by the time I came inside, it was already up on their site. I uploaded this one manually from memory while I wrote this post.

Oh....and they both got this cool sled that Ripley demonstrates in the first vid, and Ripsticks, which spencer is riding in the second. Also BB guns which I didn't take video of.....

richlevy · 12-25-2009, 10:57 AM

And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, SG,

..And to everyone on the Cellar.

If I'm reading this right, in England you can get a pre-made turducken for $US16 at the current exchange rate. Wow!

Merry Christmas SG! Thanks for sharing yours with us!

Elspode · 12-25-2009, 03:52 PM

I'm afraid that the pics of Gavin, Kaleigh and Selene are all that I have to share so far. We won't be doing our family Yule until Sunday, and so far today has been about watching Xmas movies, eating and having hot toddies, so not much to photograph. Perhaps I'll take a couple of pics when K and I go out to get more firewood for the woodstove. The woodpile is nicely buried in our 7" snow, and the logs are pretty much frozen together from the ice and sleet that preceded.

Pie · 12-25-2009, 04:00 PM

Merry Christmas, everyone. Be safe and be happy.

Merry Christmas all, we're having a good time in the glatt household. Here's a shot of breakfast. Scrapple, fruit salad, scrambled eggs, and Moravian sugar cake. Hadn't had scrapple in years and it was delicious.

And then one of my playing around with a new macro lens attachment for my camera.

Elspode · 12-25-2009, 07:33 PM

Selene making cookies with her new KitchenAid mixer. Yes, they're Xmas cookies.

You can't tell in this pic, but it is 91 degrees F in the kitchen because the woodstove is about fifteen feet away from where she's standing.

Well, if Jim ever decides to contribute a picture of himself to the NSFW thread, now we'll at least have a shot at actually seeing something.
