When we were Brits abroad in the USA at Christmas we really missed mince pies, Christmas pud, proper brandy cream (clotted), and the kids craved real Cadburys chocolate (the American version tastes a bit odd to my palate) ..... oh and crackers of course. I did love how so many American houses had so many outside lights .... that's only caught on here in the last few years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-61683220940964139382009-12-06T09:42:39.039-06:002009-12-06T09:42:39.039-06:00So lovely and festive.

T...Jo, do tell me about the crackers from England. The ones I have bought stateside are a little disappointing. I'm looking for more exciting trinkets. Are the English ones better? I'd sure like to come to your house for some of the goodies you've ordered, though I have yet to try plum pudding. I have some pudding molds but have never used them. Have you a lemony pudding recipe, or butterscotch pudding recipe to share? I love tartan plaids.

I seem to change every year!<br /><br />Denise: Do you have a Homegoods store where you live ? They carry all kinds of English crackers, teapots, dishes, food items. I bought my Tom Smith crackers there, at about one third the regular cost.<br /><br />PurestGreen: Welcome ! Oh, I'm sure I would have a blast. The outdoor markets are always my favorite!<br /><br />...mmm...Hello Mr. Toast ! Sorry about the blue links, well I think I just liked the color of blue/purple, changed that, but forgot to add the links...it's the Bailey's you know :)<br />How's that ! We share Tartan's, well almost.<br /><br />DJan: I'm not sure, but think it is the Grant Tartan. Looks very similar to the Stewart Tartan.I like the colors, our family Tartan is not as pretty.<br /><br />JPT: Yes...Crawford's shortbread, they have that Tartan all over the box ;)<br /><br />Benny and Patsy: Thank you, I think it is a warm, and cozy tartan.<br /><br />cmluvs2stamp: Glad you like it, it has a lot of feeling doesn't it ?<br />Thanks for stopping by, I will do the same at your place.A Brit in Tennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16080644141670903160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-27146655118711960092009-12-04T19:52:18.251-06:002009-12-04T19:52:18.251-06:00I just love love love the picture of the window at...I just love love love the picture of the window at night with the Christmas tree and votive lights shining out!
