Christmas is a time for sharing joys, meals, and gifts. I greeted Elizabeth, who attended one of the first Homskil courses, with an e-card with the Nativity scene. The Nativity scene had stones on the ground outside the stable. The stones were not just decorative. They added a historical dimension to the Nativity scene. They came from the Holy Land. A friend’s mother went to the Holy Land and brought them back as gift. The first Christmas was a historical event. I thought I would share some general information.
Well, Elizabeth returned the Christmas greeting, and shared photos of the Christmas meals she prepared. I was impressed.
Elizabeth was looking forward to know what I prepared. The truth is that I didn’t cook this Christmas. My energy level has been low, so my brother took over arranging Christmas lunch. He did an excellent job. He ordered everything my mother likes. She likes Chinese food. We had a variety of roasted meat, but no turkey. The tofu with spinach was very good. We had three types of Chinese dessert and mangoes.
I did see the Homskil’s culinary team’s Christmas menu:
1. Appetiser drink: Christmas punch
2. Appetiser food: pancake canapés / prosciutto, brie with pomegranate canapés
3. Christmas salad (arugula lettuce, pear, walnut, pomegranate, feta)
4. Turkey
5. Duchess potatoes
Dessert: white chocolate and cranberry tart (photo not available)

The Christmas meal is a special meal, but what is more important is the sharing of the meal with family and friends, knowing that much effort has gone into the planning of the meal to make it a special meal, one that everyone will remember.
Since Christmas is celebrated for 12 days, from Christmas Day (25 December) to the coming of the Three Kings, it’s not too late to greet everyone a Joyous Christmas.
