Back to traditions  ::), after New Year's day, I forbid :P my children to sing Christmas carols. It has become a tradition (translate game) in our family to annoy me with them. I am so tired of all things Christmas by then, since it starts around Halloween. A couple years ago my daughter's preschool class had a guest storyteller and they sang songs. The woman asked if they all knew 'Jingle Bells' and Molly raised her hand and told everyone she wasn't allowed to sing those. The adults in the room all thought it was because my husband is Jewish and became very uncomfortable. We still have a good laugh over that one.

Yes I remember Horlicks Meles, No I still don't like it either  :)

Horlicks tablets though?  Hmmm - are they supposed to help cure a Horlicks addiction or what?   ;D

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone - between a heavy workload at home and work I haven't been on here quite as much - expecting that trend to continue unfortunately.., but I will keep up on the current threads I am subscribed to...
I am researching the following families:
Hurst / Payne - Leicestershire / Warwickshire / Worcestershire
Toon(e) - Leicestershire
Batchelor / Foster - Warwickshire / Northamptonshire
Hardy - Dorset

My web site has the family tree showing.  I am researching primarily the Payne, Hurst, Foster and Batchelor lines in the Midlands.

Off The Record With Debbie And Tony
