We did our Christmas dinner tradition a little early this year as I will be flying home for Christmas.
Christmas Dinner Tradition With My Best Friends
This time I met my friend, Fia, who was the host at the supermarket after work to collect an enormous turkey in a box and carry it home with her. Vi came a little later and started preparing 3-course meals all by herself while Fia and I forced as much stuffing as much as possible into the cold turkey’s ass. Yin came last and started her part, taking pictures.
Christmas Feast
Turkey in the oven, the delicious smell of Christmas dinner from the kitchen and Christmas songs were playing in the background. This was my first time being involved in Christmas dinner preparation, and I really enjoyed it.
We set the table, and once the oven made “ding” sound, dinner was served. A mix of Chinese and Western cuisine, the food was absolutely delicious.
We drank Glühwein, red wine with added spices, which Fia brought all the way from Germany. Best served hot, it’s the traditional German holiday season drink. It tasted so good, you ought to try it!
We polished off dinner and continued with the dessert, cheesecake.
Christmas Gifts Exchange
Like the last year, we also exchanged gifts this Christmas. I got a miniature music store from Vi and a movie card from Yin. I made them each a personalized picture with a frame, and they really liked it. After the gift exchange, we took Christmas pictures in our PJs, watched TV, discussed boys, and slept off.
Tomorrow, unfortunately, was a working day. I woke up first and got ready while Vi made us a turkey sandwich for breakfast and coffee/tea. To be served a tasty breakfast in the early morning? I feel loved!
The home-cooked meal and sleepover had really lovely. We vowed to do it again next Christmas and make it our own Christmas dinner tradition. It also reminded me of when I was still living in my parent’s house, and my cousins would come and stay over. Or me at their parents’.
Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you get to do your Christmas dinner tradition with your loved ones.
