And just as Linda was getting all gleeful about Christmas in summer, a huge chunk of ice flew off the roof of the truck ahead of me and almost cracked my windshield! Makes me long for some picnics on the beach, for sure! My family is Slovak, and we always celebrated the more traditional part of the holiday (bizarre Slovak foods, midnight mass, etc) on Christmas Eve. But then we have another more typically-American meal (turkey and LOTS of carbs) on Christmas Day. So I guess we get the best of both worlds, although my waistline doesn't necessarily see it that way. Hope Santa brings you lots of goodies! :) I listened to this podcast as I was driving “home” for Christmas, to my family’s house in Pennsylvania (Mid-Atlantic US).

When we were little, we had a tree, but gave that up when it became worn out. We went to Denny's for a full on American bfast ( only restaurant open), we'd watch the Xmas parade on TV, and at night, go to the movies. Us and our jewish friends.
