I’m half Norwegian, half German. My Norw. gramma always had lutefisk and lefse(like a tortilla, only thinner and baked on a griddle) & oyster stew on Xmas Eve. I hated the fish and oysters, but would fill up on the lefse. On Xmas Day, my german gram would have turkey or ham, real mincemeat pie, fruitcake, and bread pudding, all of which I stuffed myself with. Now we have ham and mashed potaotes, green bean casserole, and apple pie alamode. How much more all american could you get?

2000 or laterish would be preferred. It’s for my book review blog. I’m going to be doing a theme month for December and I only have a short list so far. I want lots of option in case I don’t like some of them, and I don’t want to use any I’ve already read.

Here’s what I come up with:

From my to-read list:

Mark V asked:

I am going to be in London over Christmas week (23 December to 28 December). I have been to London many times, but never over a major holiday. Is it hard to get around, do things, or go out to eat on Christmas Day? What about on Christmas Eve? Is Boxing Day a huge “closed” holiday?

Thanks! I am excited to see the city at Christmastime!
