This was fun for me to read as well, but for the entirely opposite reason. It was new to me. I like the empty plate without the silverware tradition. I think the doggy in his new clothes is so cute. We mix and match, too, and oddly enough, camellias are the Christmas flower here, but grown outside.

Matt, this was fun for me to read, as I have Lithuanian friends. Birute and I began writing as pen pals before their independence from the USSR. After their independence, they eventually emigrated (from Kaunas) to the US and I was their contact person. They now live in Oak Lawn (Chicago), IL, which has a large Lithuanian community.

Merry Christmas!

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!

What a wonderful post! I'm jealous that you grew up among such wonderful traditions. My family had nothing like those and in fact we scattered all over the country as soon as we were able to.

I have been enjoying your blog for several years now, and although I read it for the plant content, I really enjoy the hearing the snippets here and there about your life.

Happy 2015 and thanks for taking the time to write.
