Festive Foods Friday Five

Well friends, we've covered advent, music, and movies/TV--but we here at F5 HQ would be remiss if we did not acknowledge that quintessential holiday topic... fooooooooood.

1. Favorite cookie/candy/baked good without which, it's just not Christmas.

2. Do you do a fancy dinner on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, both, or neither? (Optional: with whom will you gather around the table this year?)

3. Evaluate one or more of the holiday beverage trifecta: hot chocolate, wassail, egg nog.

4. Candy canes: do you like all the new-fangled flavors or are you a peppermint purist?

5. Have you ever actually had figgy pudding? And is it really so good that people will refuse to leave until they are served it?

Edited to add: Well, I am APPALLED with myself that I forgot to include a question about the crown prince of holiday foods--the fruitcake.

Feel free to add your thoughts on this most polarizing holiday confection.

As always, let us know in the comments if you play. And a handmade buttermilk praline from the reverendhousehold to all those to link directly:
<a href="the url of your blog post goes here">what you want the link to say goes here</a>

And finally--may Christ be born anew in your hearts this Christmas.

Merry Christmas!!!!

  9. Glad I played--the F5 reminded me I needed to bake my cornbread today so it will thoroughly dry out for Christmas dressing Monday.

    There's also two way overripe bananas in the kitchen and y'all know what that means --banana bread!
