Christmas traditions

[Zerlina]

We don't have Eggnog in Brazil. I have no idea how it tastes like. Yay.

Also, about Xmas presents. We open them at midnight here. Sometimes earlier in one of my grandmothers's house, because there are a lot of little kids who get to tired to wait until midnight.

We used to wait til midnight but we stopped doing that.

Hey lucas i can send you a bottle, its good but your supposed to mix with alcohol....btw if any of my posts dont make sense its due to the 2 325 mg Percocets im taking for pain hhehe.

Eggnog is the ****. You don't have to spike it, but it's a pretty common practice.

We open our presents on the 24th around noon. So sucks to be the rest of the world.

Wake up my parents at 4:30 in the morning, "for old times' sake."

Basically, all month our folks ask us what we want for Xmas, we tell them we don't know. Halfway through, we remember something we could use, then tell them. Then, on Christmas day, we wake up, open our loads of candy and new MP3 players (obligatory), then head back upstairs and play video games until the ham is done.

Oh, I get a fantasy novel every christmas morning as well.
Just too bad that I never get the sequels...

The whole country does it here, pretty much. Don't think anyone opens them on the next morning.

My immediate family opens our gifts that morning. The extended family parties, when we used to have them, opened them up in the evenings the night before.

Haha, good times. I used to get my folks up at 6 cuz I used to have so much trouble sleeping. Now they're getting me up at 11 cuz they want to get on with it

schnitzel

GodDAMMIT!  We don't get German food anywhere around here!  (We do eat homemade Italian sausage.  Our Christmas dinner tradition.)

[Linkizcool]

Schnitzel is really easy to make yourself. Just take a pork chop or chicken chop, take a meat hammer at it for 5 minutes.

Crack an egg or two and mix the yolk with the white until you get a gooey yellow thing, then dip the chop in and roll it around in bread crumbs after.

Then fry away on some oil (olive oil is easy to use, and probably healthier than most)
