If settlers of Jamestown celebrated Christmas as usual whereas puritans accepted festivity as part of oppressed them England. That mind kept after Independence War and it was until early 1820s. Washington Irving wrote The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. in 1820 in which five stories devoted to Christmas in England and describe festivity’s atmosphere, traditions and celebration. A Visit From St. Nicholas, a poem written by Clement Clarke Moore in 1822, influenced on Americans to make gifts to each other. Progressively it became to celebrate all over in America. Fourteen US states accepted Christmas as holiday by 1860. That was declared as country’s holiday in June 28, 1870. And the last, what completed forming of Christmas, was that Louis Prang introduced first American Christmas postcard in 1875.
That meeting happened eventually. I got Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut. A drink with twelve degrees and containing 50% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Meunier. I have it with Christmas dinner in pasta gnocci sardi and hen cooked under mine invented sauce, which ingredients and how to use them, as you know, I will not tell.
Perhaps, I was supposed to situate in place nearby of apartment of my other grandparents. I put eye on yard and never on where they lived. Occurred changing in the end couldn’t save in memory and I remember their apartment as it always was. I have stuff from flats of all my grandparents, which interconnect me with them. I would wish to take more items.
Maybe, things will not come back to dark ever. I have way to solve detail, which gives opportunity to apply on visa in any country I wish now, without months of waiting. Currently, I’m thinking between the United Kingdom and the United States. I have passion to the first, because I didn’t properly visit London and it’s interesting to return since my Sunday visit in 2004. The most at all, I want to understand if England is my place though I know I do not wish to have it’s citizenship. I do not want to pay taxes for royal family, which can survive if will go private, and for evil BBC. A country where a terroristic emblem can waving on the streets whereas police tears down posters imaging kidnapped Israelis, judges has out of their specialty power to kill children and be unpunished for that, banks close account of person with right-wing views and you can’t have some types of big dogs by introduced law of current premier. But it’s not right to do any speak on unpleasant today. England is a country with many wonderful traditions and His Majesty is a main keeper of them though he could be more patient and don’t curse on pen, but I look positively on his first fifty years of reigning. I have list of places in England, which mostly possible reach by train (also a curious thing for me is have experience on royal railway where, of course, I have close to impossible a desire to ride in wagons to which you come directly to compartment – I love to see it in old movies.). I will choose the United Kingdom without thinking if I would have opportunity for a car (what I wouldn’t do because I do not remember how drive it – I absolutely lost with changing gear in Test Drive of 1987 by trying to ride on one regular using car which was Lamborghini Countach.) or a person with license, because I have places to visit, which I would choose in springtime. However, I don’t know with what purpose to arrive. If I would had job perspective – I wouldn’t hesitate with any of two variants. I know English a little bit. I must do for reason because desire dies when I want to write novella, which one-fifth is already made. Probably, I’m pressing buttons in wrong place. I can get a key, which, maybe, opens door to freedom. And I want to stay there, but I will begin with firm basis.
I brought Christmas Frank for getting ambience in cooking dinner, serving table and eating. I began with 2017 Marrone Barbaresco containing fourteen degrees, a red wine has only nebbiolo grape which originated in Piedmont. It makes to think on presence of maturity in learning scent while saturated entity will one catch in further sniffing. However, wine's age deprives cheapness of quality. Ground zero of first using will transform to unpleasant alike of medicine in breathing in, which has no taste and it causes a disgust reaction in which I opened mouth and made sound expressed how I dislike this drink. Later another sip will associate with long forgotten grapes which one funny guy decided to use in production. Aftertaste is non-disturbing stability. Wine is match for drinking without requirements while it's not for searching of finest though finish it better earlier, because that period is possible for using.
Then I uncorked champagne. I lied on sofa though I could on bed, but I chose sofa and began new journey. It was sweet with bitterness flavor at first sip. Bitter acid in the end was the next taking. Simple bitterness in final was after followed using. Bitterness enhanced in sip after sip. I got caustic in addition then. I initially was thinking to join champagne to club having Dom Perignon and Ruinart in members. Drinking of Piper-Heidsieck Cuvee Brut wasn't unbearable as with two previous bottles though I was in minding on asking act when I was drinking it. I returned to it some time later. Champagne was sweet with bitterness which enlarged and experience ended of tasting caustic which lasted in aftertaste. That was wrong combination of grapes. I eventually committed that thing happened on Christmas again. Perry Como's Magic Moments could make me to don't sense this unpleasant taste. I cleaned mouth by mineral water and it worked.
Merry Christmas, anyway!
