I miss American Christmas - particularly Christmas in the winter season. So, I declared 25 June in South Africa my American-Winter-Christmas. I made my friend Meagan play along & we had a ball!
. Played Christmas music all day
. Made breakfast in my PJs: bacon, scrambled eggs, bacon & buttermilk biscuits
. Watched a Christmas movie on my laptop
. Baked Sugar Cookies & decorated them with icing & sprinkles (mix & prepared icing from the States - always a welcomed gift)
. Made a big dinner: mustard chicken, deviled eggs, steamed broccoli, carrot soufflé, ambrosia (orange salad with coconut- Harold's recipe), Apple cider (Raven's Nest mix from Susan)
. Read the Christmas Story in Luke after dinner!
... I even wore a pair of Christmas PJs that my grandmother mailed me last Christmas (but they were too hot to wear during our summer-Christmas, but perfect for my June-Winter-South-African-Christmas).
It was neat celebrating a chilly Christmas again - and I especially loved sharing my American traditions with my friend Meagan!
Call me crazy, but it was FUN!
