Culinary Christmas - December 17: Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer
Featured Foods: Egg nog, beer, pudding, figs, goose
The Irish Rovers are a Canadian Irish folk that started in 1963… and today you get to hear their rendition of Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. There's just something different about this song when performed by folks from Ireland!
Plus, how can you miss all the great Culinary Christmas references, like egg nog, geese, and pudding. Oh, and beer. You know, as I feature these songs each day, it's becoming apparent that a lot of Christmas songs reference alcoholic beverages. Hmm… that may be telling!
As a special bonus for you today, hop over to SteveandAmySly.com to watch the 1979 TV special John Denver & The Muppets: A Christmas Together, which we are streaming online from now until December 25. It's vintage. It's John Denver. It's The Muppets. You can't lose!
