Besides celebrating our birthdays with Birthday Bear we also enjoy having a Christmas lunch together. Ann loves dressing Bear for Christmas. He has been dressed as Santa, as a Christmas Tree, as a Social Butterfly, and as an Elf but this time Bear is dressed as a Christmas Pudding. For those who are not familiar with our
Ann puts the finishing touches to Bear. He is inside a Christmas pudding with a white brandy sauce on top together with a sprig of holly.
Bear has written a lament for us. (Clever Bear)
He looked good enough to eat.
I climbed on a chair to take this shot of the top of the pudding. The things you can do when you're a silly senior.

We chose to go to the Sunnybank Sports Club again. It is close to home and the food is good.
I had salmon on a corn salsa with fancy potatoes which look like pineapple.
Another fun Christmas outing.
I think you have to be on a diet at the end of December when you go on with the parties. Birthday bear looks very funny again, he is very flexible in changing his identity.
ReplyDeleteCool poem. Your choice of food was quite adventurous.
ReplyDeleteYUM!
ReplyDeleteBirthday Bear sure gets around. A Christmas Pudding, now that is original.
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting all of it..
ReplyDeleteI have eaten out for nearly every meal lately and I am so full, but will get over it.
Keep enjoying yourself :)
Bear is always so cute and you all always look to be having such a grand time!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so good. Are those lattes in the last picture? Very fancy work.
ReplyDeletelove the silly senior sauce shot. bear looks great as a pudding, i would make a great pudding since i am shaped like one and feel like one.
ReplyDeletethe last photo is what i want right now.. please
Love this post, Diane! That salmon looks fantastic! I love salmon.
ReplyDeleteBear is perfect as a Christmas pudding .... Yes Diane! I know what you mean about climbing on chairs to get a good shot ....I've been known to do the same thing... much to the embarrassment of my daughters.
ReplyDeleteGreat imagination! BB looks quite delightful (and tasty).
ReplyDeleteHave a beaut Christmas :D)
Christmas Bear is GORGEOUS... AND he's obviously very smart since he wrote that lament.... That's GREAT!!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had another great party. The salmon on a corn salsa looks good. I had some salmon when we were at the beach last week which I did not like. It needed that salsa I guess... ha
Hugs,

I was very impressed with Bear's lament, but I think he looks pretty good as a Christmas pudding. I was also impressed with the food you had at your outing.
ReplyDeleteImpressive looking food, but what pray tell, is that strange looking brown object with seemingly cherries on it? Surely not chocolate???
ReplyDeleteI have been looking at this "Christmas foodfest" since it appeared and hoping that someone may ask, but no!
So what is it?
Cheers

ReplyDeleteHe he Diane is still partying.
ReplyDeleteI was a little worried at first ... wondered what BB had to lament. But with all those birthdays BB must be getting older. Getting a little more "pudding shaped" goes with age.
Another fun time with Birthday Bear Diane. He looks lovely as a Christmas Pud!
ReplyDeleteThe Birthday bear looks cute dressed up for the Christmas season. What a fun time you and your friends are having there. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
ReplyDeletedear diane, stopping by to wish you and yours the best this holiday season!
ReplyDeletehave a merry Xmas!
