This or That game

[notsmokinjo]

Ambrosia?? must be a pommy thing.... but regardless... Make your own... so much better.... especially when you make white chocolate custard.... that's a bit spesh.

 

Jelly.... (jello for the Americans)..... striped or just one flavour?

[Sslip]

One flavour and that flavour should be lime. Delicious.

 

Jelly, love it straight out the packet or no way?

[notsmokinjo]

Straight out the packet... you mean crystals..... before you mix with with the water and set it??????

 

Love it..

 

Junket.... love it or loath it... or is it just an Aussie thing?

[Sslip]

If it is like angel delight then all's good, if like blancmange bleugh, otherwise I don't know.

 

Pies, sweet or savoury?

[WeegieWoman]

Definitely savoury.

 

Turkey - leg or breast 

[Sslip]

I'm a breast man. 

 

Turkey - cranberry sauce or mustard? 

[WeegieWoman]

Mustard on turkey???!! That is sacrilege!!!! Cranberry all the way. 

 

Stuffing - in the bird or cooked separately 

[Mee]

In the bird.  Nothing like bread up the Turkey's butt.  Has most flavor.   

Buffett or sit down dinner?

 

 

[Sslip]

Sit your bum down, it's Christmas. 

 

Stuffing with sausage meat or veggie and herbs the way to go? 

[Reciprocity]

Veggies & herbs is the way to go!

 

Stay up until at least midnight New Year's Eve or in bed before the clock goes to AM?

[notsmokinjo]

Um... at least until midnight.... 1) to make sure your house doesn't get burnt down by the illegal fireworks and 2) because I don't live in a nursing home.

 

New Years Resolutions - make them or don't bother cos your never going to keep them anyway.

 

[jillar]

Don't bother anymore because of exactly what that

 

Christmas lights, take down on New Year's day or just whenever you get around to it.

[Reciprocity]

Not going out when it's -30 or worse to fiddle with a string of lights - LOL 

Unplug them and leave till April (maybe).

 

Eggnog - Love it or hate it?

[notsmokinjo]

they are both rather strong sentiments for something we have chilled and only cos they have it in american movies and songs.... hmmm so if I have to either love or hate it....

 

HATE!

 

Candy Canes - Peppermint or Fruit flavours.

[Sslip]

Peppermint

 

Christmas tree decorations - Have sweets on there or for pleasing the eye only?

[Reciprocity]

Cat Eye pleasing only

 

Tree down by New Years Day or later?

[notsmokinjo]

Later... but if its not down by the Epithany (6th Jan) then it has to stay up all year or its bad luck. Usually take it down the 4th, dunno why, just do.

 

Santa - does he bring gifts for the pets too or not?

[Reciprocity]

Sadly ..... Yes!

 

You go out visiting family.friends on Christmas Eve or stay at home madly preparing last minute stuff?

[notsmokinjo]

Really neither.... but probably Stay at home preparing last minute stuff is closest.

(Really I got to Carols By Candelight and then Midnight Mass... unless I have to work chrissy eve.... then I watch carols by candelight on the telly and go to midnight mass)

 

Does you family have a unique christmas tradition or are you just like a disney movie?

Junket is probably most like blancmange... it is like a milk jelly you make by adding a tablet to milk.

[Sslip]

Is trying whatever we can to avoid the Queen's christmas speech count as a tradition?

 

If so Yes. To be honest we always do christmas at home and boxing day round my mums, which is as close to tradition as we get.

 

Would you rather see snow on christmas day or have an unseasonably (or seasonably down south) warm one?

[Mee]

Definitely like snow on Christmas.  It can come the day before and leave the day after.

Do you buy gifts for all relatives or pick names from hat?

[jillar]

Used to pick names. Now we just buy for our parents and the kids. Oh and if we don't get a thank you, the kid is off next years list lol. We're now down to two kids in the family that still get gifts. We give more gifts to the neighbor's kids lol

 

Open presents Christmas eve or Christmas morning

 

 

[Sslip]

Christmas morning. It's rude to open them before santa has done his stuff. 

 

After Xmas Dinner, slump in front of the television or play family games? 

[jillar]

Prefer games but more and more it's becoming tv 

 

Sheets-flannel or cotton

 

[Mee]

Well it just can't be one or the other.   It is flannel in the winter and cotton in the summer.

Cotton or silky underwear
