I kinda agree with that Christmas being over hyped commercial OMG IT'S CHRISTFUKINMAS AGAIN!!
BUT for me Christmas eve is the day to get the most awesome food ever.
I can't say that I wouldn't like it when I get presents, but the best moment is when I get the best meal of my life.
I don't care about the escalloped potatoes or carrot casserole stuff, but the home made mashed potatoes with Karelian hot pot (Karjalan paisti / Karjala's roast) and some good ham makes me very hungry now even thinking about it.
It is fatty, salty and VERY SERIOUSLY good food.
And home-made beer too.
