Lutefisk (Local Norwegian spelling) is what evil tastes like. It is a vile, nasty, nausea inducing glop of sadism on a plate that masquerades as food.

At least, that's my opinion.
Oh, you get no argument from me there. I grew with the icky-pooh stuff and I wouldn't eat it if i were starving!

I don't really see it overmuch as a religious holiday; for me, it's just about family. It's one of the few times out of the whole year where I get to see everyone, and it's nice because we just get together and have fun and forget about all our problems for a little while.
For me, too. I do wonder at Harry's view at Christmas. I'm not religous, even though I'm still christened and confirmed - that's just something you do in this culture. But.. religion... that's something that happens over in the church, nothing to do with Christmas Eve at home It's a few days off, having time with family, giving and getting presents, and eating good food, celebrating that the darkest time of the year has now passed and we're looking toward lighter days. Nothing more, nothing less.

Maybe. Anything that looks like gaming chases me away. An avatar is plenty enough.

Oh, it's the graphic aspect of those little 3D avatars that spook me. They remind me of the games my kids played. Super Mario and all that stuff.

We celebrate the holidays by drinking lots of eggnog, eating vast quantities of my wife’s delicious homemade fudge; and gaining a minimum of 10 more pounds. She makes two kinds of fudge, chocolate and peanut butter. I could easily be induced to kill a non-offending stranger for a piece of her peanut butter fudge.

But if she's a stranger, how do you know her fudge is any good?

A lot of different opinions here. For me our tradition has been to leave the big city behind and head for our cottage in the mountains (two hours drive from our capitol here in the south). We have snow guaranteed, and it is white and quiet everywhere. We could have gone skiing there more than two months already.
At Christmas-eve (here in Norway) our family gathers in the cottage for a traditional meal of ribs from sheep (could also be from pork) with Christmas beer and Aquavit. I do also love Lutefisk but usually have that at some party prior to the Holidays, and maybe americans have also tasted in the little town of Maynott (though with french fries...).
In the time between Christmas and New Year we walk over to the alpine slope for some downhill skiing or snowboarding, or maybe we just slip on our cross-country skis outside the door and head for the mountains.

I just love the holiday season even though I respect others that maybe want to be at a warmer place on vacation (there is only a 5 hours flight to the Canary Islands out of Africa).

Happy Holidays -- ArcticBoy
