The night before Christmas we attend church service and upon returning home, the children hang stockings from the mantel and hope that Father Christmas will leave some treats or gifts in them, especially since they've been good little boys and girls this year! In anticipation and gratitude they leave mince pies and brandy for Father Christmas.
Christmas Morning:
Mom usually prepares grilled rashers, poached eggs on toast, muffins, and baked mushrooms for breakfast.
Christmas Dinner
At lunch or early afternoon we have our Christmas dinner. The Christmas meal is a meal to remember throughout the coming year, and preparations started weeks ahead of time.
Turkey or goose dinner plus... stuffing, cranberry sauce, potatoes and gravy.
Beside each place setting is a Christmas Cracker - a paper tube, brightly wrapped and twisted at both ends. These deceptively peaceful decorations capture the magic of the season, for their appeal is in the 'crack' as they're pulled apart and out falls a tissue hat, a joke or riddle and a present, rings in plastic - or even, for the romantic, a chance to offer the real thing. The paper crown inside we wear on our heads during the meal.
