We usually celebrate from Sunday to Sunday in whichever week the 25th falls, but this year we started early because we are gone as of tomorrow. I kind of like it. I have all sorts of Christmas movies and music packed for our personal entertainment.
I was looking at hawaiian recipes earlier and we might make a southern/hawaiian christmas dinner at my swedish sister-in-law´s next week. I´m thinking pineapple glazed ham (also very southern), "hawiian meatballs" (found recipe online, as you can guess meatballs are a very swedish christmas (and anytime) tradition, with maybe rice and green beans, depends on what we can find up there. I am taking one can of pineapple with me. And maybe pineapple upside down cake (also very "southern") Usually, I make hawaiian chicken or hawaiian haystacks (in the US, no cream of anything soup here, so sometimes it is kind of tough). For some reason, along the way, we started having hawaiian food for Christmas in July and Korean or Asian for Christmas in August. It is fun to make holiday recipes from other cultures.
I look forward to hearing/reading about everyone's celebrations when we return.
Aloha Kalikemaka!
Merry Christmas in July!
