About 1800 o'clock the family appeared to say they were off for the first official a
advent event .
What exactly? Apparently in this village they have a tradition, starting December 1, a family entertains with hot wine and things to eat, usually outside, about 30 - 50 villagers. There is entertainment and lots of children and adults swirling around. My eldest Gchild was playing in the little band. Now this is a challenge.. each night, dec 1 through to 24th.. on the 24th it is always held at the home of the mayor.
There was still one night not committed, Dec 19th, and altho there was enthusiasm by the family to host it, C definitely said no. We…she and I.. decided that I am her sacrifice ?? and enough work. Her students are facing xmas exams as well so she is busy.
I suggested that the majority of people buy things, but she said no.. it usually is all home made and for some families they make it their evening meal.
My son in law loves the kitchen and two years ago the family made their own mincemeat.. which is coming to an end, so this afternoon he made the most delicious mince tarts. I succumbed. A puff pastry home made mince tart with creme fraiche. Delicious.
Am in bed, cold wrapped leg and hot water bottled back.
