Some friends of mine, whose parents emigrated to the US from Denmark,
maintain the Christmas rice pudding (ris alamande) tradition and have a good
time doing it. The first time I participated the pudding tasted like
wall-paper paste and I had a hard time keeping it down. The second time it
was much better. I didn't get the almond though. /jmac

Here in Denmark our daughter gave us an early Christmas present a month
early; the box contained some wool and a pattern for making baby clothes.
Our first grandchild was on the way! That prompted us to buy ourselves a
Christmas present consisting of a digital video camera holding a 30GB hard
drive. So now I have also had to order a package containing Adobe Premiere
Elements 3.0 for movie editing and Elements 5.0 for our still photos.
Our Christmas was quite traditiional with a large family gathering on
Christmas Eve, where we ate a couple of ducks, roast pork, red cabbage,
sugar-browned potatoes and waldorf salad, followed by ris alamande, a sort
of fancy rice pudding containing a lot of cream, and an almond which gave a
prize.
