A Very Merry TFF Christmas...

[Chez Daja]

Do you like White Christmases, or no?
Yeah, but I haven't seen one for a good eight or nine years now. They're becoming a rarity where I live.

What's your favorite Holiday dish?
Well, we always have turkey with all the trimmings. I'm not much of a fan of sprouts, so as a rule, they're my most avoided. (Turkey must be doused in gravy, unless I'm making it!!)


Favorite desert?
We always have jelly and trifle... so I choose jelly (erm, jello to you 'Mericans). Christmas Pudding is just nasty.

What did your greatest tree look like?
All of my tree's always look great. My mum's a serious traditionalist when it comes to Christmas, so we're always hugely decorated. I'll post a picture in a few days, when we've put the tree up.

Do you decorate your house? Inside and out?

Mostly inside, but we put some lights in the kitchen window. Our lounge is always gorgeous at Christmas.

What was your favorite present?
My family always pick something excellent for me, so that's pretty hard to answer.

What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
It's too embarrassing to say.

Do you like White Christmases, or no?
I have a very very special reason why I like White Christmases, but that will be explained later, maybe.

What's your favorite Holiday dish?
We never fix Turkey... We just ate that on Thanksgiving... Silly to eat it again so soon. We fix two huge blocks of prime rib covered in Dijon Mustard crumb crust. I don't usually like meat, but it's good. My FAVORITE however is stuffed mushrooms...a seafood stuffing of cheese, breadcrumbs and clams.

Favorite desert?
Hrm...I suppose I always look forward to the Pineapple Upside-down cake or wait... CARROT CAKE... Oh how I love Carrot Cake. ^^


What did your greatest tree look like?
It was Green and Blue, with tinsel and a large blue topper and plain white lights.

Do you decorate your house? Inside and out?
Usually. Mostly inside. We're a pretty insular family and most people can't see our house from the road.

What was your favorite present? Definitely sitting up and playing FFVII on my brand new PS2. So both of those, same Christmas. That or my Car.

What's your favorite Christmas Carol?
Holy Night

Share an interesting Christmas story!
My dad, being the genius he is, bought a Christmas Tree and spray-painted it black. No, not a plastic tree... A real tree. He decorated it with Star Trek ships and white lights to make it look like space. Needless to say the thing died and we had to sweep it out of our living room.


Another good one.

There was one year where every meteorologist predicted that we would get NO SNOW at all. They all swore it. So much so that the headline of the paper was "White Christmas in Slaughters, just a dream"

I asked Mom why there wouldn't be a White Christmas. (six years old) She said that I should pray if I wanted one. I agreed, thinking that would solve all my problems. I prayed for the first half of the month of December, sometimes repeating the prayer several times in a sitting and following up with Hail Marys and the Lord's Prayer. My parents noticed this and thought it was particularly cute and told all my relatives. Some of them teased me.

*shrugs* December 25th came that year and I woke up and the window was frosted over. I was the hero of that year. And we drank a lot of hot chocolate and that was my favorite Christmas and really the only good one I remember.
