    Fantastic!
    It's also around a lot of people's first 2020 payday, so celebrations all around! :D

    Nice to have something to look forward to. Roll on 85th January (well, that's what it will feel like!) :pac:

    Thing is, is it rude of me to ask that all talk of future rudolph days be verboten until after the christmas season is over? I'd like to enjoy it while its here & not be thinking of the miserable months of Jan/Feb to follow when we're furthest away from the most wonderful time of the year.

    I'll put a pin in it until after the best season :)

    Was only thinking about this last night as I remember it came up pre Christmas and was put on hold till closer to the time.

    What does everyone have planned? I'm craving a turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwich on thick brown bread.

    I'm busy on Saturday too, but we will have the grandparents around for tea & cake for the twins birthday in the afternoon so might try & pick up some 'seasonal' treats for that. Other than that will do my best to remember to stick on a pair of my new christmas socks that I never actually wore over Christmas!

    LIke LoughC haven't seen Klaus yet, do want to see it at some stage but not sure i've the interest to actually watch a Christmas film out of season as I was never one for doing that TBH.

    The very first Rudolph Day of the year is always Burns Night.
    Traditional Scottish celebration of their national poet, Robert Burns. (Him that wrote Auld lang Syne): whiskey, songs, and haggis!

    Things I love about Burns Night are...

    1. It's exactly one month after Christmas, the 25th of Jan.

    2. It's a bright spot in a long, dark, cold, broke month.

    3. You can keep some of the Christmas decorations alive - anything in tartan, evergreen foliage, red candles, deer, shortbread.

    4. It's a hoot. Scots Wha Hae!

    Here's a pic of my flower decoration for tonight:

    Happy Rudolph Day one and all! I nearly missed it - because I have a head like a sieve! :o But I did have a piece of Christmas Cake after my dinner & have taken a turkey breast out of the freezer for dinner tomorrow. I might even break open the cranberry sauce! :D

    Good to hear everyone enjoyed the first Rudolph Day of the year :) I enjoyed my Rudolph sandwich (turkey, stuffing & cranberry sauce) however was a bit of a hectic day so didn't get to do much else to celebrate.

    Not sure about turkey and stuffing on a pancake so will have to come up with something else Christmasy for next one!

    They're usually gone by the time I get home but suspect there'll be something planned for me as my Mrs & the kids are really good that way & always make a fuss of birthdays etc.

    I believe that Christmassy things like brandy and cream would be very nice on a pancake...

    How about the pancake version of a mince pie? Stuff with mincemeat, heat it up and trickle brandy plus dollop of cream on top?

    Definitely possibilities here!

    Penneys had some great ones last time round, worth checking out when they start restocking their Christmas stuff. Very reasonable pricewise as per usual with penneys.
