    I also got her a Lego F1 car modeled after the recent McLaren car. Again opened with the excitement of when she was little.

    Way to go, @mark ! What a thoughtful present.

    Reminds me of my dad...just before I graduated from college he asked me if there was anything I had wanted when I was a child but that I never got. I told him I had always wanted a flashlight. For whatever reason, I thought the idea of having portable light was just so cool.

    On my graduation day in 1978 he gave me this:

    I still have it and every time I use it, it reminds me of what a great dad he was.

    @AndyD Thanks for the recipe! I still have potatoes from my garden. I think I'll prepare them a la Andy to go with tonight's chicken!

    Rib bones are from last night and also have a lot of meat on them.

    I'm drooling....

    I haven’t seen a ham like that for sale in decades.

    Me either, till last week. Saw "fresh ham" at one of the international markets.

    Interestingly, the Sam's Club carries beef tongue, tripe, and something else that's not common these days, maybe beef heart? I caught a cheapo Sam's membership and thought we'd check it out. Won't renew next year but they have some interesting stuff.

    Anyone else improvise a Christmas tune on the ivories?
    We're about to eat, a full goose, & rather large gammon (that says it feeds 14).
    So with six round the table we'll be eating sarnies till Monday

    We both speak English. Okay, so I speak American, but...I had to look up two words in the post.

    So...ham and/or goose sandwiches from the leftovers? 😁

    That photo of the dinner table laden with food ...OMG, scrumptious!

    @Steve-Miller

    This recipe is pretty close to ours, though uur version skips the ham, at least for Christmas Eve.

    https://valentinascorner.com/olivier-salad-recipe-russian-potato-salad/

    We used to call it Babos Salad, named after an elderly Lithuanian/Russian lady who was an integral part of the Lithuanian community I grew up in. "Baba" is "grandma" in Russian; that's what we all called her. She used to use crab meat on top as a garnish. Great addition!

    We use red potatoes, skins on. I dice the raw potatoes and steam them. Much easier than trying to dice them after they're cooked. Same for the carrots, dice and then either steam or zap in the microwave for a minute or two.

    No cukes in ours; they tend to release too much liquid as the salad sits in the frig to chill.

    I had never heard of pickles with oak leaves (agurkai su ąžuolų lapais), but this particular brand of them has become our favorites. Kėdainių Konservai products are quite available at international markets.

    What fun! And tell the person at the head of the table that I love the sweater.

    What's white, furry, and smells of mint?

    A polo bear

    Okay, I'll bite...

    @Axtremus The lobsters as tree toppers are a nice touch.
