This is my entry for LindaGHill‘s SoCs, this week Linda said : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “ham.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
When I was at home , as in childhood home
Every Christmas Mum cooked Ham on the bone.
Turkey was obviously cooked too
Let’s face it in those days what else was there to do?
On boxing day friends were round , Dad would off food.
Would you like a sandwich he would ask
Everyone said please not wanting to be rude
Dad would bring in a huge plate of turkey sarnies, to eat, our task!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every year we fell for Dad offering us turkey sandwiches…yes there were a few turkey sandwiches on the top the rest were all boiled ham!

Don’t you love traditions…my dad liked a ham sandwich on Christmas day..It all started after my mum died and he was home alone one christmas and my sister called to see him and all he had in the fridge was ham so they had a ham sandwich for Christmas day lunch…we’ve tried to maintain it ever since in memory of him more than a love of the ham sanger…
