If you attend a Christmas Dinner use this Theme Day to choose and/or prepare a side dish as a family to bring along.
A Christmas tradition in our family is to have a Bûche de Noël on Christmas Eve (which is a traditional Christmas cake made to look like a log in France, Beligum, Canada and Lebanon).
Hot Apple Cider:
Make an easy hot apple drink by mixing a mug of apple juice with 1/4 tsp fo brown sugar. Add 1 cinnamon stick and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes. Easy peasy!
Our family in Canada and in New Zealand and Australia make a lovely roast turkey for dinner! What does your family eat?
