I thought may be it's a Canadian "thing", like Thanksgiving. Still intrigued I've googled "Canada Christmas 21st December" ... nothing. Only 25th. So I've asked a cruise friend in Montreal. Still 25th. Any reason you've celebrated "early" ?😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyeux Noël ! Yes I will when I get back home tonight. It’s a combination of Capital Grills recipe and Hal Hancock Lobster Company’s recipe that beat Bobby Flay. It’s pretty tasty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please continue to post, maybe a photo of your favorite tree ornament and why it's so special.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 25, 2021 #41955 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Merry Christmas everyone! We had a gorgeous sunny day yesterday. 32c with a pleasant sea breeze. Had a lovely lunch on the outside deck of my dads place of prawns (so many prawns), turkey, lots of salad, cheesecake, pavlova with German beers. Here is our little Aussie Christmas corner. Hubby hasn’t worked out how to hang Wombat in the Snow photo yet as it’s very heavy. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 25, 2021 #41959 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Ornaments - interesting mix from me & my kids. I have 3 cruise ship ornaments, quite a few travel ornaments. The free pharmacy ornament from Nashville and the ice hockey mascot ornaments are from my daughter and some from my son (hope one doesn’t cause offence) and pet photo ornaments from our two rescue dogs that have crossed the rainbow bridge. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite are these little pink mittens attached by a ribbon. My father bought them for me while we were in a craft store/ homestead/ farm. He was in his 80s at the time.

Jimbo Posted December 26, 2021 #41969 Share Posted December 26, 2021 (edited) Prime Rib Tonight 500 degrees 30 minutes in oven, then turn oven off and leave Prime Rib Roast in for 2 additional hours, with oven off and do not open the door until the 2 hours is up.

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 26, 2021 #41970 Share Posted December 26, 2021 @Sea Dogyour video of your son is beautiful. Love the change from the eagerness of the early years to the sleepiness of the teen years. Your son is fortunate to have loving parents and the same beautiful home his entire life. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 26, 2021 #41971 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Graham, glad your op went well & wish you a seamless recovery. Sorry I had to quickly scroll past your photo so I didn’t how many stitches but I hope you have the same cream we have here that makes the stitching scars virtually disappear. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 25th. Any reason you've celebrated "early" ?😕 The reason was that my daughter and one of my sons wanted to also celebrate with their partners’ families. We had no reason to stick to the 25th, so we had Christmas early. It worked out well. I’m sorry to confuse you! Chris and I never had to juggle celebrations because we are both the children of immigrants, so there wasn’t any conflict. Our kids’ partners want to share Christmas with their families. Unfortunately, Regina- Ontario- New York aren’t terribly close geographically, so we’re making it work! Actual Christmas can’t change, but the family traditions can- whether we have the turkey on one day or another doesn’t matter, so long as we’re together. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare aussielozzie18 Posted December 26, 2021 #41973 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Boxing Day tradition in our house is the males watch the Test on the tv and the females hit the Boxing Day sales. Quietest I have ever seen it at the sales today. No doubt a lot of shoppers concerned about the new variant and not wanting to spend 3+ hours queueing up for a Covid test as many Sydneysiders had to do in the last couple of days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
