On Christmas Eve night Craig, Whitney, Elle and Chris came to our house to have our traditional Christmas Dinner. This year I introduced "Rosolli" into the menu (the whole menu will be Finnish..eventually). Whitney liked it, the others tolerated it and Rod hated it. Of course we had Glögi as the welcoming warm drink. For 1st course we had smoked gravlax, boiled potatoes and rosolli. For the main course we had ham, mashed potatoes (next year this will be a Finnish potato casserole along with carrot and rutabaga casseroles), gravy, peas and corn, yams, and home made rolls. Everything was so yummy if I may say so myself. After opening the presents, Whitney served us with cranberry coffee cake and apple crisp. So, so delicious. The Finnish alternative with hot rice pudding and "väskynäsoppa" (fruit soup with dried fruit) wouldn't have hit the spot, and never will, and this will never be introduced to the menu...ever.
My mom sent this beautiful Christmas reindeer to me for Christmas. I have always wanted one, and now I have one. Thank you mom!
