Year Five

[osprey_archer]

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS. I have just realized! This is going to be my fifth year doing Yuletide! I should throw myself a party!

sineala, who knows me too well: A tea party?

It is true that I throw myself tea parties for almost all occasions. (If I am drinking out of a mug, it is just tea. If there is a teapot involved, then it is a party.)

But for this reason, I’m thinking I should branch out for my Yuletide anniversary. Because it’s Yuletide! I should do something special! Possibly involving traditional Christmas desserts?

I COULD GO WASSAILING.

...maybe I should just stick to making myself figgy pudding. Apparently some recipes involve setting it on fire at the end! I might burn down my apartment. Perhaps I could make gingerbread. Gingerbread with caramel sauce!

In any case, possibly I should wait until I’ve actually completed my Yuletide story before throwing myself a party. Or at least gotten my assignment. Or at least signed up.

I'm positive that I've seen some Christmas tea in one of the fancy tea shops that have a million different types of tea for me to spend my money on (I wasn't brave enough to try the sticky toffee pudding tea, because ewwww). I expect it would be lots of dried fruit and christmassy spices? But then I'm more of a leaf tea fan rather than fruit and herbal stuff.

Huh, I've always set my Christmas puddings on fire, I thought everyone did that. I don't think I've had figgy pudding before though, and as I love figs, I'm thinking I should totally try that this year.

I actually went to a special Christmas tea two years ago, and I'm sure we must have had some special Christmas blend, but sadly I can't remember in any more detail than that.

I have never actually made a Christmas pudding, possibly because I didn't realize "Light the pudding on fire" was one of the steps. That made it shoot right up my list of recipes to try.
