Thank you so much for nominating me! Watching Christmas movies is a great tradition.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Christmas truffles. I've never had those, but they sound delicious.
You’re welcome!
DeleteTruffles in general are amazing!!
Thanks for the tag. We do truffles too! I just love Christmas desserts in general . . . who am I kidding, desserts in general.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I'm definitely a desserts first person.
DeleteI love Do You Hear What I Hear! My favorite version is Bing Crosby's.
ReplyDeleteIt’s hard to have a favorite because every version of that song I like love! Whitney Houston does a beautiful version and I love Carrie Underwood’s too.
DeleteOyster Stew at Christmas sounds so random to me (but nice!) - I think our Christmas dinners must be more like you have on Thanksgiving. I don't know any of those carols except for O Holy Night either, Will have to check them out! Thanks for the tag :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really know where the tradition of the oyster stew came from but we've had it for Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember. Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella, is a French carol that was written in the 17th century and The Wexford Carol is an Irish carol that is actually considered the oldest Christmas carol in history.
DeleteThanks for the tag! I've never tried Oyster Stew but it sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Oyster stew is just milk, butter and oysters and it is so good!
DeleteSo happy you were able to fill this out and loved your answers!
ReplyDeleteGreat carol selection and yes, I think I need to try oyster stew too.
(Also, so glad you thought of gold, I knew there was one I was forgetting xD -- and red and gold is so gorgeous. I noticed that's what you used for your type too, so pretty. Your whole Christmas blog look is just beautiful. ♥️)
Thank you! It was a lot of fun.
DeleteI always prefer more traditional, lesser known carols. Especially those with a history behind them. Oyster stew is such a comfort food on a cold night!
Thank you so much! The Christmas blog theme is always my favorite theme, but also the hardest. The text are lyrics from The Wexford Carol that was written as a song of solace to the Irish during difficult times. I find it to be fitting for the year that we've had.
