We had Frank, Lyndol, Peter, Carol, Raven & Iain over for Christmas dinner this year.  George & I prepared a pork roast and the others brought various side dishes.  As usual, everything was delicious.  After everyone had a chance to digest a little, we brought out the Plum Pudding George's mother had prepared and given to us when we were in Dublin in August.  (Frank and Lyndol bring the holly sprig from their tree every year.)  George heated up the brandy and poured it over the pudding while everyone ooh'd and aah'd over the flames.

We served the plum pudding with brandy butter and whipped cream.
