        Love seeing everyone’s traditions. We always cut our tree down the weekend after thanksgiving. Tree farm today. I’m dragging one tree and our son is dragging the other tree for my parents. My wife taking pics. IH tee and 634ii

            Yesterday’s advent Sunday dinner, pinnekjøtt. It is effectively what we’ll be eating for our main meal on xmas eve (when Norwegians celebrate), only that version will have more frills.

              I love seeing these traditions. Rueben The beer sitting at your spot looks very tasty and so does the food, especially the sausage rope

                It is a very salty, very fatty, very tasty dinner. The lamb rib is dried, salted and smoked. The sausage is smoked, and I did a twist with the potatoes this year. Normally you steam the lamb for three hours on top of a grate made of birch sticks. This time a put potatoes in the base and filled with water until it was level with the tip of the potatoes then put the meat on that. You’d think potatoes in hot water for three hours would result in a sludge but something to do with the salt and fat mixing with the water keeps them firm. And they tasted insane.

                I paired the food with this classic beer from Germany for the first time. Worked a treat:

                          The “occasional” post on WAYWT notwithstanding, I actually prefer it that way.

                              Normally @Madame Buttonfly would buy a monster.  This year has been a little different, so she got a small one.  It arrived, the one on the left, and the top section was bust, so she bitched and they sent us another….

                              Just potted on into half-decent pots, and watered.

                              They'll come inside at some point soon….

                                Nice customer service –- over here you would make the call - get put on hold - and then get hung up on - all within 5-7 minutes  😃

                                  Living on a popular “Christmas Lights” block, my tradition is cussing at all the ignorant c**ts who don’t let regular traffic through! It’s pretty and all but….

                                  On a positive note, we decorated our tree last night and it wouldnt be complete without

                                        Finally put the tree up, some close ups of some of my favorites, a lot from UK. Then I have to close the door due to two pesky cats that think the tree is their toy. Next holiday tradition is Christmas Day Prime Rib roast.
