Christmas in Israel


Being the only Jewish state in the world, Israel does not do Christmas at all.  In fact, I was at school today as my first day back from Hanukkah break - ironic right?! But being the very good Jews that we are, the housemates (and one ITF from upstairs) and I decided to do Christmas anyway.  We did a Christmas dinner and secret santa and it was the best!

I embarked on a fairly ambitious menu; a whole roast chicken, sides and a homemade apple pie.  I've never roasted a chicken before and I've only made apple pie from scratch once before so I was fairly nervous.  However, it all worked out and the food was delicious (if I don't say so myself).

One of my housemates, the one who loves Christmas the most, prepared the most adorable table settings as well.

 


Homemade apple pie!! delish!

Pumpkin soup to start - made by ITF from upstairs

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you all!
