Christmas

Tis the season to celebrate the differences....here are some I am aware of.

South African Christmas turkey 


vs American Christmas ham




South African Christmas
American December “holiday”
Christmas cards show:
A British robin and some snow
Just about anything
Days:
Christmas and Boxing Day to recovery
Just one day off unless it is a weekend….
Weather:
Hot – go swimming after lunch
Hope for snow
You can say:
Happy Christmas
Happy Holidays only
Main course:
Turkey of course
Just had turkey at thanksgiving, so need options. Ham is popular
Dessert:
Christmas pudding and yummy brand sauce
Not clear – pies seem common
Gifts:
Used to be just one gift to say I remember you
Seems a little out of control with multiple gifts
Drinks:
Champagne or wine or beer
Weird things like eggnog and other cocktails
