This year, Shannen’s mom pointed out that this is the 3rd year in a row that I will be sharing Christmas Eve with the King-Murphys, and all of the King-Murphy traditions that go along with it. She asked whether there were some Fullerton-Sweet traditions that we could observe this year as a change.
Christmas Eve for me was spent at Grandma Fullerton’s house in Dinsmore, Boney M on the stereo, Grandma would make a big ukrainian feast of cabbage rolls and perogies, there would be a bit of carol singing, opening presents, all capped off with a wrapping paper fight at the end!
So this year, I’ll be making cabbage rolls (rice & onion, no meat) for the 3rd time in my life, and perogies (potato and onion) for the first! I’ll report back on results.
JeneralLee - Don’t forget about the Sweet tradition of putting ice cubes in the wine!
blizzie - The traditional Ukranian food was delicious! My kudos to the chef…I especially enjoyed the fact that I was encouraged to smother everything with sour cream…
