Hi Vonney,I don,t think many people stick to the old traditions anymore, I know I don,t
I laughed remembering how we were made to go to confession then do the stations of the cross, we weren,t even allowed to play on the street and at 30'clock we were made to say the rosary and for dinner we got a big plate of 'champ' and fish.We didn,t question anything and did what we were told. jmo

Jeez I forgot about that, it did get overcast and my father used to say 'well that,s it over now' ????????? what he was talking about, I don,t know but we all nodded in agreement Wow this is really interesting. I have heard of the no-meat thing. But not the no drink..
Its interesting that on xmas day the pubs here are closed but in the UK the only pubs that open on Xmas day are usually the Irish pubs. Having said that, its usually to give xmas dinner to the elderly irish with no family. Lots of those in London sadly.
