Christmas with Victoria.....

Lol, Ron. 

And the third cup, well, put away the Royal Doulton and break out the beakers.

It's nice to keep some of that stuff around, just for the memories, Shirley.  The memories are more valuable than the piece itself.

My Irish war-bride co-worker had the entire set of "Christmas Village" that all the fine stores sell, it reminded her of "home". She left me with an "Nutmeg cookie log" receipe that I'm thinking about making this year. I think she said she brought that over with her also. I just got my hands on another British cookbook today. What is "Christmas Pudding" that you can buy over there?...he says his receipe calls for one pound of it, and it sounds much like an ice cream type receipe perhaps...sometimes its sold in North America during the Holidays.
