You're a tough act to follow. :) And, like you, I'm a huge fan of Alastair Sim in his role as Scrooge. He defined that character, ruining it for everyone else who follows -- much like Canadian icewines have done for the world. Well-done and I love the idea of incorporating it into the fondue -- a great and very "local" notion, so bravo! Happy New Year to you ....<br /><br />~ DaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-74717039637638831262013-12-12T09:48:58.256-08:002013-12-12T09:48:58.256-08:00I like reading about Holiday Traditions from acros...I like reading about Holiday Traditions from across the country.

I carried some through to my own family, but we added our own, as each generation does. Even though my family is scattered and we aren't always together during the holidays, we are still as close as ever. There is something to be said for Skype, Facetime and texting. :)<br />Your fondue looks delicious, love the photo!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038190964528332030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-12143095814908239442013-12-07T11:56:36.895-08:002013-12-07T11:56:36.895-08:00I love ice wine....
