We have an unusual Christmas. I was raised Catholic, but was in the process of changing to Jewish when I married a Lutheran. The Princess Royal was baptized Lutheran. Since Prince Albert and I are so old we don't have much enthuasism for decorating at Christmas. For the past 2 years, we've celebrated a Jewish Christmas. Christmas dinner is at a Chinese buffet restaurant were the Princess Royal can get her adored sushi, and everyone can just relax.
We'll have a New Orleans specialty cake, Doberge, at home for dessert. It's a layered cake sliced into several layers with pudding between the layers and iced with a slightly hard icing. The traditional flavors are Lemon or Chocolate or Half and Half.
Every year the Princess Royal is disappointed that we don't have a dozen cousins and other family, so it's a little sad time for her. This year we'll have to see how she's feeling as to when we'll do Chinese.
