1. A marmite sandwich – if I’m lucky
2. All year – looks a bit ridiculous during thunder storms but I don’t care
3. There are jokes in Christmas crackers!!!!?!
4. Mauled wine – this is my own recipe – the cheapest wine available [paint stripper would do], add some English mustard and place in washing machine. Put it on a ‘wool’ wash and serve straight from the hose – for special guests only ……… obviously.
5. What is a Christmas pie? Is this some foreign invention from Bolton or Wigan? …… tsk
haha – I just changed that before reading your comment, yep I have no idea what a Christmas Pie is, maybe you eat it with Christmas chips and Turkey Gravy?
1. Neither I am afraid duck & pork this year
(DP I thought it was a souvern thing)
2. Oh absolutely all day
3. The one I got at my firms Xmas do was what is a hedgehogs favourite food? Prickled onions
4. Champagne of course

What are you talking about?
For goodness sake Kevin – put up a picture of a Christmas Cracker with a full explanation ….. on second thoughts, I’ll write a post for you and submit it later [much later what with my appalling connection an' all]
Bloody hell get these people some christmas crackers!
I’ve done a post explaining the Christmas Cracker for here …… but I think Kevin’s drunk …….
1. Turkey.. and a ham. Most Canadians have a turkey and a ham for the meal. Ukranian Canadians must also have cabbage rolls and homemade perogies on their table.
2. No crackers. I know what they are but we just say no to crackers here. (and online too… that’s a good policy, just say no to crackers)
3. Again… no crackers. How about I tell a joke from the fraccy blog instead?\
4. Champagne if I must choosing from the two listed.
5. Dessert is usually a tray of assorted sweets. Shortbread, gingerbread, good chocolates, fruitcake (yes, I loves it), fudgey type squares, etc. I make mince tarts but they’re not usually the ‘hit’ of the dessert tray.
1. Usually Turkey and Ham. I’m really considering Goose this year, having never had it and it actually part of my ancestral heritage. (They actually named a Causeway after me in the UK)
2. We wear ‘Santa’ hats at times, but Christmas Crackers aren’t typical US fare. They sound fun though, and something I’d like to try next year.
3. IF…I had one, it’d be seeing DP pulled from a cracker.
4. Mulled wine by preference when possible, or mulled warm cider.
5. Minced meat pie or the usual fruit cake, home made preferably.
