Okay whats emerald salad when it's at home? I want to know EXACTLY what craberry-raspberry jello salad is too. Cathi ALL the wild rice leftovers are mine. They'll poison everyone else I promise so it's best if only I eat 'em  ( I adore wild rice and Pauls mum cooks it perfectly)

LOL!
Helen, emerald salad is a concoction my 102 yr old grandmother still asks for. It is a very interesting(ok, disgusting )melange of lime jello, grated onion and cucumber, mayonnaise, cottage cheese and slivered almonds.......surprisingly, it isn't bad, really!
The wild rice didn't go over very well, actually. My daughter has gone vegan, and I wantd to be certain she ate something other than salad and dessert! You can have all that remains, look for a carton in the mail!

Do tell Helen, was it a sherry trifle or do you get creative like we do and have multi coloured and flavoured options for your trifle?
I'll never forget the year my Nana made individual trifles for everyone with green jelly and creme de menthe - I think she put enough booze in each one to make a big one. She got us all grandkids drunk on the desert that year LOL.
Ours was a lovely meal of the traditional fare - Christmas Eve was munchies - cornish pasties, sausage rolls, cheese trays and cookies and candies - Santa only likes cornish pasties I'm told Clark and I got to bed around 4:30 a.m. on the 25th after only arriving in Canada at the end of a 19 hour drive from hell at 5:30 a.m. on the 24th. This trip has been one for the record books - Dinner was at my brothers house (my grandmothers place before she passed a couple years ago) and had Turkey and dressing, corn, potatoes, mixed green beans and carrots, water chestnuts wrapped in bacon served over old sharp white cheddar, pumpkin pie, trifle and a yule log.
Of course the munchies were out as well and we indulged in oysters, cheese, beef tongue prepared according to my fathers special recipe which is only handed on to the men in the family so I can't tell you about that one Helen - not that you would want to know LOL - cornish pasties, cheese and pastrami mix, shrimp pate and a few other yummies.
So much for me having lost any weight, I put every pound back on just over the 24th and 25th!
Despite the unusually high levels of stress this Christmas season brought it was all made worthwhile when I heard Ayden (7) on Christmas morning when he thought no one was around to hear him: About 7 a.m. ish, and he was in fine form after opening his stocking that Santa left, and he had gotten Mommy and Daddy awake and Nana and Papa Barrie awake, and he was in the hallway with the dog just waiting for everyone so he could open the parcels that Santa left and I heard him say "It's a VERY special day Cisco!" (Cisco is our puppy dog). It made every second of the treacherous trip and the long night of wrapping and preparing worth every second of my breakdown
Gotta love the magic of kids on Christmas morning 
Cat
p.s. can you believe that Santa Clause knows how to get a pack of playing cards from Omaha NE AND a bouncy ball from Canada into a stocking?? He's a magical guy that Santa
