Christmas Customs
TOoP/Bruce:
I am thinking the Christmas oyster stew tradition was something from the Irish side of the family.

P.S. If you're planning on decorating one of the giant sequoias when you're here, be sure to bring a really tall latter, and lots and lots of garland. And I do mean lots.

And I´m not planning on decorating one of the sequoias. Most likely I will just fall on my knees in awe and forget everything around me!

ahh, Sinterklaas! You gotta love him! He arrived in Antwerp last saturday. This is for you David! The original Santa Claus. :) He announced from the balcony that 'all the children had been very good this year'.

Oh, thank you so much for the Sinterklaas video! That was so cute! :D
Sinterklaas never did arrive in Indiana on a steamboat unfortunately. I remember I asked my Grandfather why Sinterklaas would come to Indianapolis to visit us if he is in Europe visiting the kids over there. He simply told me "Sinterklaas visits the good and bad Dutch children in America too". :)

HAPPY FESTIVUS!!!!
Now bring on out the metal pole and we'll commence with the Airing of Grievances.
IT'S FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!!!
(Sorry, I couldn't resist it!)
Ya'll watch Seinfeld re-runs? ;) :D
TOoP/Bruce:
The more I think about it, the "oyster stew" on Christmas eve had to be from the Irish side of the family.
The family recipe is exceedingly simple - 1 can of oysters, 2 quarts (or so) of milk, butter and pepper to taste. Heat oysters and butter, add milk and pepper. Serve with crackers.
All my brothers and sisters loathe it. My mother and I are the only people who will eat it.
