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 |
