Greetings to one and all.

And I sincerely hope none of us is given John White's Formula One Facts and Trivia or Geoff Tibballs's Motor-racing's Strangest Races by well-meaning relatives.

nope no turkey no sprouts but plenty of Ham, meatballs, salmon, herring, sausages, liver paté, potatoes, eggs, cod, roe,
perhaps some reindeer meet and of course plenty of glögg, julmust and vörtbröd.

You know julmust is the only softdrink that outsells Coca.cola during x-mas.

For many, the best part of the festive time is the non stop eating, ranging from breakfast, lunch all the way to dinner.

Also known as Jul Brunner. :D

actually its not, Yule or Jul (jul blot) is an old Norse tradition celebrated around winter solstice by
Vikings or Norse men of what today is Scandinavia. Basically it was a large offer festivity in honour of the gods to celebrate
that return of the light (after winter solstice days becomes longer until summer solstice).

Merry Christmas, everybody.

Oh! Don't worry about getting me a gift (now). I'm OK with you waiting for the after Christmas sales and getting me something even nicer on discount.

Merry Christmas! :wave:

Do you think he's the one responsible for that large bag of what smells like coal under my Christmas tree?! :o

I'd better get it in before the world ends tomorrow

[gadjo_dilo]

Never thought to take pictures of the "porkies" we had for Christmas....

Anyway I had a hell of a Christmas. Was almost ready to finish with my life.

[Knock-on]

Well, my Christmas starts today.

The future ex-Mrs Knockie is flying in from Paddy Land this afternoon and the boys are back from London Tomorrow. My Mother is in from Spain, my Daughter will be here and we are planning on having a Family Christmas day on 1/1/13 (although I can't see the presents remaining unwrapped for more than 3 seconds after the kids get back).

It's been a lonely old Christmas without the Family, although I have been well looked after by some good friends taking turn baby sitting me ;) , but now it's time for Turkey and mince pies and hopefully a few posts on the :beer: thread :D
