Once the side dishes are done, it becomes such an intimate dinner without any pressure because everyone is cooking their own food and they're relaxed and ready for fun. And everyone takes part in the conversations. It's like one big happy family.<br /><br />Happy Holidays!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12659478699744541765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632249142954767681.post-10366419225006202282011-11-24T02:17:37.067-05:002011-11-24T02:17:37.067-05:00You are so right - having writer friends who encou...You are so right - having writer friends who encourage us and help us along in times of trouble are so important. I'm very grateful, even though we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Germany. ;-) But I'll make my first batch of Christmas cookies this weekend. All the food you describe sounds so foreign to me. I know Turkey with stuffing, but that's about it! In Germany, we often eat goose for Christmas - and in my family, fondue (not with cheese, but with broth).<br /><br />Have a wonderful time with your family!Beate Boekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299015488989360031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632249142954767681.post-23473139362965101332011-11-22T19:41:12.823-05:002011-11-22T19:41:12.823-05:00What a great excuse to get the family together and...What a great excuse to get the family together and eat too much. We, naturally, don't have Thanksgiving or an equivalent here in Aus but we do the same thing at Christmas. Big family get together and too much food. My niece insists I make meringues every year to go with the fresh fruit and whipped cream --summer fuit of course for us at Christmas, pineapple, mangoes, pawpaw etc Plus something sinful and chocolate based.Elisabeth Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847216542954007974noreply@blogger.com
