The Random Musings of a Jersey Girl & Her Family Finding their Way Around The World
I was planning on writing about how homesick I was for an American Christmas with my traditional foods like a whole roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, pernil (roast pork), etc versus a turkey roll and new potatoes.
