Thought I'd share something I thought was kind of special.
An older gentleman in my adult children's church was talking about Christmas. The subject of oranges came up. Oranges being a big Christmas thing for many years ... for many/most of us we don't give much thought to oranges... but this man ONLY eats oranges at Christmas.
He said growing up oranges were a luxury- so special that they could only get them once a year- at Christmas!
He said to this day it is still the only time he eats an orange. He said it just became something so special he wanted to keep it that way.
Kinda made me think how spoiled we are that really we can have any food item we want anytime we want... made me think of how blessed we are as a people and it was touching that this older man preserved his thankfulness.

Well, today is more special to me than Christmas Eve, though certainly not nearly as special as Christmas Day. It happens to be DH's and my 24th wedding anniversary. That means we only have 56 years to go. See, we signed on for 80 years, since I said I wanted to live to 110 years and was 30 when we married. I promised him if he was tired of me in 80 years, he could trade me in on a younger model - maybe some spry 75-year-old.
@Poka_Doodle - If what you mean by a "roll cake" is a cake rolled-up jelly-roll style, the trick is not the recipe, but HOW it's done. You bake your cake in a 9 x 13 pan so that it's thin, ice the bottom, and roll the cake using parchment or waxed paper or a tea towel. If you are trying to make a "buche-de-noel" that is what you should do. I was thinking of sharing a very special "Christmas Candy" recipe with you all. If you are interested, it is delicious. A little labor intensive, but a lot of the work can be done while watching "White Christmas" or "Emmett Otter's Jugband Christmas" or listening to Christmas carols. You mix the candy, make little balls, and then dip them in melted chocolate. It's really easy. I'll get the recipe and post it on here tomorrow - well, later TODAY.
