On the fourth day of Christmas...

As you travel through life, experiencing different people and cultures, you realise how traditions vary and you learn to appreciate yours more by experiencing others.

My family has also their own Christmas tradition, which brings together Portuguese, English and American elements... 

On Christmas Eve we always have a very Portuguese evening... Cod, potatoes, cabbage, boiled eggs, carrots and warm olive oil to top it up. As a starter we have something that is a family tradition... bean and cabbage sprouts (very bitter not for everyone's taste). 

on Christmas day the turkey and it's stuffing never fails! Since my cousin developed his passion for cooking we also get some other roasted bird, this varies between a duck and a goose.  Always a full and delicious table. 

For dessert on both days we have a wide selection, some more traditional than others...

All desserts are made by my very talented family and they are delicious!!
What are your family Christmas traditions? which desserts remind you of Christmas?
