Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Mikester, that's not a stone, that's a boulder!! Best wishes and hopes that the Doc can tease it out without too much grief. A bit gruesome and nasty but you might ask him to hang on to the culprit so you can embed it in clear resin and turn it into a paperweight; make it do something positive for you.

Nick, Im pretty sure hes going to use the laser to bust it up into smaller pieces. I'd hate to think hes going to drag it out of my body whole. LOL

I've had both. Is there a difference? Meanwhile we are getting fat on Kolaczki. My doctor complains about my yearly weight gain. He doesn't understand what Hunky Christmas cooking is all about. ..................................................................................................................................

See, thats the thing, I dont know if there IS a difference physically other than the dye, and, my research shows it is supposed to be edible for people.

That said, the pink wafers are supposed to be reserved for the animals and/or family pet in deference to the animals and honor of their role in the family, and to honor their presence at the Manger greeting baby Jesus. Nothing wrong with people using the pink, but, usually it means someone was trying to stretch the supply thin and use the animal portions for people.

Those kolacki look great to me. This year the chrusciki didn't happen for me, i skipped desert. Chemo, and the heart changes it has driven thus far, is a *&^%$ and energy is just plain and simple not there to let us do all we want. I'm hoping to make some for new years though. I did make my fruitcake though this morning while waiting for everyone to get up - all jokes aside, this is one people actually like to eat lol...

Steaks done on the grill, seasoned shrimp in a pan, baked asparagus with garlic and parmesean cheese.

Not a bad way to be. Hope you all had a good one.

Hair over 5.5 days away from Central Time Zone. It'll be here quicker than it should.

Good to know. That would be the least of the worries. We let the eldest walk around blessing each forehead with a piece of oplatki dipped in honey, and saying something sweet or embarrassing to everyone there. So you get a sticky forehead on top of all the rest. I'm Slovak, my wife is Hungarian, so lots of strange customs that don't make sense. Here's to a new year where I hope to see LESS doctors!

And regretfully, I cannot salute you for Christmas in either language. We got exposed to many different languages when I was young due to the grade school that I attended being something of a dumping ground for new to the country immigrants in my city. The social logic of the time and era was to get them integrated into Canadian society as quickly as possible and that mean as crash course in how to speak "English" A lot of the parents never did get around to learning english although they were very fluent in many other languages. The kids got it from both sides as they had to spend 8 hours in public school and then another 2 -3 in an ethnic school so they could learn their home language and customs as well. A lot of the kids elected to prefer English which made their parents angry but the kids knew they needed english to be able to understand the rest of the curriculum and beyond that to find work.

However it just occurred to me that all is not lost.........................

So, in Slovak, I wish you “Šťastné a veselé Vianoce” which my translator tells me means a "Happy and Merry Christmas" and


in Hungarian, "Merry Christmas!" is "Boldog karácsonyt!". Again according to my translator. Apparently there are variants according to the formality of the occasion or to whom the greeting is being made.


Hope I got them right,



Oh yeah, Nice Steak but just a couple of minutes too rare for me; now if that was Prime Rib..............

Na Zdrowie works for me, roughly translated to Cheers!
