Winter holidays at our house consists of a Winter Solstice Party. Relatives and friends who are not extremely religious are invited. We serve Gløgg, a spicy Scandinavian wine and other drinks, Norwegian delicacies such as pickled herring, meatballs, cheeses. We dance. We recite Tom Paine and other prose and poetry. We write our favorite enemy's name on a slip of paper, drop it in a bowl and burn it. Sometimes it is a new year's resolution we write. We enjoy the company of each other and pledge to strengthen our friendship.

I'll join you except for the pickled herring. Glogg not only is an interesting word, it sounds like it might be tasty.

We also would invite family and friends over and serve a mix of German/Sierra Leoenean/American dishes, but I think we will adopt your tradition of burning the name of our favorite enemy in bowl, that is pure genius!
