Dickens of a Christmas Blog Hop (from 2010, but still excellent recipe links!)

 
From the text:
...and Bob served it out with beaming looks, while the chestnuts on the fire sputtered and crackled noisily. Then Bob proposed: "A Merry Christmas to us all, my dears. God bless us!" Which all the family re-echoed.
"God bless us every one!" said Tiny Tim, the last of all.

In the 2010 holiday season a group of us hosted a Dickens of a Christmas blog hop:

April of
Ken of and many, many books about food which you should check out
Sarah of , print journalist, food blogger and author of an upcoming book about the home canning revolution
Margo of , a professional milliner for film, theater, opera and ballet. She teaches hatmaking courses so
Diana of
Annette of
and Me!

There are recipes for the traditional foods Dickens wrote of in A Christmas Carol, or recipes that would have been found in Victorian England around the holidays. There were giveaways (sorry, finished), themed knitting patterns and quite possibly hats! There may have been smoking bishop and suet cooked in organs. And there was certainly much making of merry.
We hope you enjoy this as much as we know we did! And we hope that you have a DICKENS OF A CHRISTMAS!
