Merry Xmas to all.

Nice day for the children to get presents, for the ladies to do their show, for men to make their souvla, and for the drunkards to go high once again.

I wonder how many people really celebrate Christmas anymore because of Jesus Christ.

For most of us, it is a day to enjoy seeing people being just nice to each other and all of the lighted decorations.

Oh yeah, I already have the leg of lamb & roast potatoes in the oven, to follow by Brussels Sprouts and pepper gravy for lunch.

Enjoy everyone.

What happened to the Turkey Kikapu? Is there a shortage over there in Swiss lands?

My Leg of lamb is in the freezer waiting for the Turkey to be consumed.

No, they have turkeys here also, but lamb is a better choice for me really. Who is going to eat all the turkey leftovers for the next 2 weeks?

In the US, turkey is served for Thanksgiving and lamb or ham for Christmas.

Old habits are hard to die. :wink:

There is an easier way. Do not cook a whole turkey, just use the crown. It will only last till boxing day at worst. In most cases it will not be enough for boxing day so it turns into a soup and Lamb is cooked instead on boxing day.

On another matter, how many people know where the word boxing day comes from?

I do reh belle. Son's half British girlfriend told us.
Goes something like this: The British aristocracy during Victorian age used to offer presents (in boxes) to the servants of the house, to thank them for their services on Christmas. That was done the day after Christmas.
hence boxing day..

WORST CHRISTMAS FOR ME AND WORST NEW YEAR DAY COMING

Well since everybody reveals personal info here's mine.
Wife brought home a package of 5 self tests for Covid a few days ago.
I couldn't read the instructions as the letters were too small. Yesterday I used a magnifying glass read the instructions and just out of the blues, we thought of trying them. Mine on the right side of the picture was clear negative. (C line=valid test, T line=Positive to Covid) Mine came out perfectly clear. Wife's T line was almost clear, had just a very faint color. We thought wife was OK, but while she was out shopping she called me that she'd do a rapid test to be sure.

Half an hour later she called me crying...

Daughter would come visit us any minute, so I put a sticker on the door, saying "please don't use your keys, and don't enter the house. Call me..."

Daughter, her husband, and my little love, 5 month old grand daughter, were perfectly healthy nothing to worry about. But they would do a rapid test just to be sure.

I also went out for a rapid test. Done it, and left immediately waiting to get the results via SMS.
On my way home got a call from wife, this time I couldn't understand what she was saying. "My God ALL 3 OF THEM INCLUDING THE BABY POSITIVE". Finally my SMS arrived, it was negative.

And so here I am on Christmas day, wife locked in one room, myself wandering around the house, both of us alone at home, all celebrations cancelled, no souvla no anything.
And I was so anxious to see my lovely grand daughter today.

Damn it, gamoto! I will do another rapid test tomorrow (today they are closed).

For those of you who wonder about the symptoms. Almost nothing guys. Son in law lost the sense of smell though.

So here I am wasting my time in Cyprus forum. :cry:
