Hope everyone has a great Christmas and that 2021 is better than 2020. Couldn't be any worse...could it?

Merry Christmas!
This year I have truly appreciated how lucky I am to live where I do. Things like shit internet really are first world problems when I see what people are having to put up with this Christmas. Here's some Kiwi humour for you, from the late Billy T. James, the greatest comedian New Zealand ever produced.
If you're wondering, Hauraki is the name of a radio station, and a Mark III is a Mark III Zephyr.

We actually had a great Christmas evening with my close family. Cusins, aunts and uncles didn´t attend this year, so it was just our household, by brothers household, my parents and my mother-in-law.

We had a great Christmas! The best thing about a southern hemisphere Christmas is that it's the middle of summer here, and you can do stuff outside. Went to my stepson's place for a barbecue lunch which was for five of us (and the dog), and then went to my Mum and Dad's for tea, which was just massive! Must have been 50-odd people by the time all the rellies, rejigged and re-blended families, teenage boyfriends and various hangers on all congregated. Kicked around rugby balls, threw tennis balls for the dog until he was exhausted, ate more barbecue food until stuffed full, and drank enough beer to fall asleep quite comfortably last night.
My better half was still working up until Christmas eve, and I wasn't, so I did all the Christmas shopping, including my own. So that means I got:
And while at the record store, I also bought her:
which made for something of an odd combo...
Also got the Robert Galbraith (J.K. Rowling in disguise) book, The Witcher III game, a couple of other books, beer, cheese, and chocolate. Christmases don't get much better.

I'd say mine was mixed for a number of reasons not all related to to Covid.
This was the first year without either of my grandmothers with us. They passed away in January 2020 just ten days apart. Things hadn't been good with my Dad's mother for a while due to dementia but up to a couple of years ago it was basically tradition to see her on Christmas Eve then see my Mum's mother (and my Aunt who she lived with) on Christmas Day. This year we couldn't even see my Aunt on top of missing those we've lost in the last year. I always thought that this year my Aunt would come to us since before we always had to go up to her because my Grandmother couldn't travel comfortably in the car for long any more. Of course Covid went and saw to that.
The actual Christmas dinner was very good and we played the usual silly games you do at Christmas. Like Monopoly. Which I lost, badly, by almost never being able to keep my £200 for passing Go either due to immediately landing on Income Tax or my Dad's Station (who managed to claim all four).

I´m beginning to set up for the traditional second day after Christmas lunch for my own family and my mother-in-law. Putting wood in the fireplace, cooking what needs to be cooked, and cleaning the house a bit. It won´t be until late afternoon that we eat, because my wife has been on work almost all christmas (today included), as she works on a home for the elderly, and most of her colleages have gotten Covid, because of the spread on the home of the elderly, so she has had to do a lot of shifts in the last week. We are in good mood though, and crazy as it sounds she has up until now not been infected with the virus (and she is tested frequently).

Some traditional Danish foods I´m going to serve today are:
The Leverpostej. Now this is a food type which is exclusive to Denmark. Swedes do it it on occasion as far as I´m told, but it´s a Danish food. It´s smeared on rough Rugbrød (Rye Bread) and while it looks pretty nasty, it tastes delicious
Egg and shrimps with mayonese:
Frikadeller (meat balls of Swine):
Fiskefilet (Fish Fillet) with Remolade (another Danish specialty):
Kyllinge salat (Chicken satat made with mayonese and asparges):

Sounds great though to us in the UK and no doubt other Northern hemisphere Countries Christmas in the Sun would seen very strange. Just wouldn't be the same without all the miserable weather and long dark nights.

I'll bet. The one Christmas I spent in the Northern hemisphere seemed all wrong to me.

^ Not sure how we ended up with Christmas cards depicting snow scenes in the UK as snow at Christmas is very rare. Mind you some parts of the UK have had some snow today.
