Furby 441 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Ok, its nearly here, just over a week to go just wondering if anyone would like to share any of thier christmas traditions? As it doesnt look set to be a white Christmas I think we need something to get into the spirit of things, I know I do! Mine has to be stuffing myself on coconut mince pies in the run up as I have never liked the traditional mince pies and my grandma always makes 100's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiverSong 403 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I like the sound of coconut mine pies, never tried them. Our Christmas traditions is a trip to see a pantomime, we go every year big group of friends, family big & little kids all together, & we all love it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Furby 441 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 they are the same but instead of filled with the usual, they are filled with coconut and have coconut in the pastry, think they are an invention of my grandmas so i didnt miss out on the pies at christmas lol RiverSong and Popsicle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
