I hate the festive season, all of it, everything, all except Boxing Day dinner. In our family, Boxing Day is the one well spend together with a lunch of leftovers: turkey; bubble & squeak; ham; homemade coleslaw; roast potatoes; roast parsnips; stuffing; pigs in blankets; bread sauce, cranberry sauce - all my favourites, and for afters there's homemade sherry trifle, some kind of gateaux (this year a Bailey's Chocolate Log), custard; both hot and cold, cream; both thick and single, and yummy brandy butter. We eat, we talk, we laugh for probably the one day of the whole year we're together - and not bickering!
For many years the same crackers have sat on the table, ignored because we're all rabbiting too much, but for some reason this year we cracked them open. The jokes were real corny (as they always are), but the idea of having conversation starters was kinda cool, and the proverb (at the bottom) was the only thing out of a Christmas Cracker worth remembering. Enjoy!
