Christmas tree @ Gustavian, originally uploaded by gratitude.




An early Christmas treat arrived in my inbox a few days ago. I received an email invite for some Christmas snacks sampling at the Gustavian for last Saturday.

Jerry and I went. The wide array of food items rendered us full right up to dinner. Hehe... some snacks huh!

Tried the following: turkey with jambalaya filling, pineapple ham, chicken liver pate, meat loaf, and some pastries. Eggnog and glogg were also served for free. It was my first time to actually taste these drinks.

Yummm!



We liked most of what we tasted but we particularly liked the pineapple ham and bought a few hundred grams. This should set the mood for Christmas. Look I even changed this blog's masthead and avatar to reflect the mood. :)

    HI JUNNIE!
    Eggnog is rum-based, I learned. And, I'm sure you know, is also a winter drink just like the glogg.

    Fascinating....

    HI DENDEN!
    Namamasko po! :)

    Seems like a cool place to shop. Where is it located? If it's in Cebu, hope they have branches in Matro Manila.

    Despite all the merrymaking and commercials, I hope we really put CHRIST, the real celebrator, in Christmas! :-)

    Vivat Jesus!
