How did you spend your Christmas 2015 Holidays?
I was sober and around in Kuala Lumpur to celebrate
my father's birthday on the eve. He is a Christmas baby
and I always got to eat yummy food on Christmas Eve
all my life.
My mum had gone to heavens, so my sister took over
the cooking this year. We had all the English Christmas menu trimmings
that consisted of the Honey Hams, Cheese Macaroni, Steaks,
Meat Balls, Roast Chicken, Grilled Potatoes and
sweet Apple Curmble & Birthday Cake as desserts.
Meat Balls, Roast Chicken, Grilled Potatoes and

My brother lamely asked where was the Traditional Roast Turkey?
The lady chef snapped to correct him that Turkeys are only
for Americans during their Thanksgiving Dinners.
English folks would eat Ham and Chicken while the
Swedish would roast the Moose!!! Moooo!
This year, my dad's maid returned home for Chrsitmas
and we got him a Pinoy male-nurse as caregiver.
Guess how much it costs for just a month?
After too much of overeating the Christmas dinner, the next day
was Boxing Day. I really headed to gym for 2 days of non stop
boxing. It was a great relief to kick and punch the boxing bag for
an hour. Have you ever wondered why they call it Boxing Day
the day after Christmas??
From the GOOGLE -
Some historians say the holiday developed because servants
were required to work on Christmas Day, but took the following
day off. As servants prepared to leave to visit
their families,
their employers would present them with gift boxes.
It was back to eating sweets and pampering myself after
buring over 1000 calories. I headed to the pop corn stall
and spent RM61.00 to savour the chocolate and almond
caramel flavours. Yums!
