@popvulture said in Holiday Traditions:

Oh boy, what a beer.

[endo]

love you all

@Matt tbh one of the reasons I’m a teetotaler now could legitimately be that I drank enough Boh in college to last me a lifetime.

[Matt]

Wouldn’t take much more than that.

Did proper Xmas this morning with all my girls. Had a heathy breakfast, ran 5 mi now I’ll settle in for the Ravems game for which I somehow managed to that the many many opportunities for spoiling yesterday. Tomorrow I’ll take down the decorations and dispose of the tree and that will be that.

Happy New Year everyone!

Now, this is a Christmas decoration I can relate to.

Yes, they are lobster pots......

Spent the day running around preparing for Easter. Picked up chocolate for the kids (maybe some for me), a leg of lamb, potatoes, wine and some vegetables. Tomorrow morning, I’m heading to the bakery for some hot cross buns (Laura’s favourite and something her dad would pick up for her every Easter). I do it to remember him, but also to treat Laura.

Growing up I always had ham and Laura’s family had lamb…I much prefer lamb.

Anything you guys do or have for the holiday? Looking forward to seeing some of your traditions.

I grew up in a pastors house, so these days (Easter and Christmas) were also working days. But we did celebrate them as well and always with the extended family. At Easter my mum usually woke us up with the traditional Christian Easter greeting ("Christ is risen ...") and a kind of sweat pudding, a Russian Easter tradition called Paskha, that we were allowed to eat in bed before we got up.
When I became an adult at some point I incorporated the tradition of pickled eggs at Easter, which I made a few days before. Before you eat them, cut them in half, take out the yolk, add olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, replace the yolk and have it as a whole. We usually had them with a glas of vodka, a great combination.

Kids dyed Easter eggs with some natural dyes. Turmeric, beets, onion skins, blueberries, etc. turned out pretty cool

@WhiskeySandwich that’s rad man! Guess turmeric is good for dying other things than my hands when adding to turkey burgers.

@WhiskeySandwich looking very cool!

Thanks dudes! Worked out better than we expected. The beets were the strongest, and the one I wanted to keep furthest from my denim
