I’ve never tried cross country skiing with my boys, but we’ve skied together since they could walk and I agree it’s a fantastic family activity. Maybe my next blog post

One of the best activities, at this time of the year, where I live is cross country skiing. My kids started that before they could walk – on daddies back of course.

Hi Claire,
Terry’s chocolate orange – yum! I too used to sometimes get one of those – and I still love them today. Nuts still in their shells is a fine English tradition. We didn’t get them in our stockings, but there was always a bowl full of them and a nut cracker on the side to help with the shell cracking. Happy days

Hi Zira,
How wonderful, pickled veggies and now smoked oysters.
Personal traditions like these sure do make Christmas special
