I suppose one gift was that my son did not wake me, instead we had to go get him at 10am. Weird.
Also I got that neat hatchet that Rickey posted in some other thread. And a Bowie magazine. And a recipe holder.

Consider that a bonus, I've seen Zimbabwe on the news when it is exciting. |

David or knife? Legitimate question, in hindsight. It's actually a one-off collectors item about the musician. |

Other things... cashing in gift cards! Not mine, though. I got pants and shirts instead of gift cards. Also a nice leather jacket. I can't seem to find a silver Firebird jacket like the one Burt wore in Hooper, but this one is very nice also.
My son just opened a Pokemon CCG booster and got a Zekrom, and that's probably the most excited I have seen him in a long time. We had to tell him that now is not a good time to call his friends about it.
He also got some extra Skylanders to go with the Skylanders base set he got. Now I'm about to go online and type in some codes for the online versions, or something. Already did this with some of the Pokemon decks and boosters, at least the ones I was able to find the online codes for.
Some of this is for me in a way since I'm using his codes to boost my Club Nintendo points. I can probably get Platinum by June, especially if I break down and get Skyward Sword.

Those do show up from time to time on eBay... but you don't want to know what crazy fans pay for them... |

Belated Merry Christmas to the lot of you - seems I really only get on here when I should be working at work. My sister hosted Christmas dinner for 15 of us, a week after popping out my new nephew. Was a weird collection of various traditions (her inlaws are Danish), but she pulled it off quite well. In laws did the bird. Or, actually, birds. My first ever Turducken:  It tasted far better than it looked. |

It means drain your bowl. I assume you heard a lot of this?
Just consider yourself lucky you if you weren't encouraged to give pickled fish a try. Though I sort of like chilled aquavit.

I wonder where in Denmark they are coming from, because I've never seen Danes eat a bird like that. Their Christmas traditions often include duck, but not usually a whole, stuff (I don't think they know what stuffing is) one like that. Interesting.

Probably just picked up on the local tradition and ran with it. I know when I told all my French friends about Turducken in the run up to Thanksgiving, they were both horrified and amazed, and demanded we attempt one.  |

Danish tradition is to get fucking jagged during the course of the event, turducken is probably the other half of the family.

If you're blitzed, stuffing one bird inside the other probably sounds like a reasonable idea. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

Copenhagen apparently.
The Aquavit actually isn't bad tasting when really chilled, but it packs a decent wallop. As for the Turducken, they are just a family that likes to go to extremes with food. Last family camping trip I showed up for, they were deepfrying Turkey, just cause they could.
No pickled fish, but I also have Finnish relatives, so I've done the whole pickled herring salad thing, and actually don't mind it.
The Turducken was actually quite good, and it meant a lot of dark meat available, which is my preference in birds.
The other weird family tradition they do is a Huuuge bowl of rice pudding, with almonds in it. The idea being, if you find a whole almond, you win a present. This of course leads to everyone eating way more pudding than they should, right after a big Christmas dinner, and lots of schnapps.

The rice pudding tradition is about as widespread in DK as possible. Pretty much everyone does that one. Scnapps is optional.

Translation: Danish "schnapps" is shots of aquavit, which is a 40% abv anise flavour liquor served after chilling it in a freezer (or outside, climate permitting). Traditionally you are expected to drain your glass when the host calls out "Skål" Serious brain and liver damage may result. If this is beyond your comfort level you may breach the matter with the host by throwing the first punch.

I really like aquavit. And rice pudding, which I didn't know was a big Danish thing. I need to make more of an effort to get in touch with my Danish heritage.

Rice pudding is a textural thing for me. Can't stand it.
I do love me some fruitcake though. Joke about that all you want. The pecans are awesome down here.

There's all different kinds of fruitcake. I've had one I actually liked, and several that were terrible - I swear they must have been a few decades old. What's your address? I'll send you the next one someone gives me (in the spirit of regifting, of course). No guarantees on its age though. |
