One of my neighbours is a very tall Dutch lady, she's got to be six foot four or five. Rumtopf is their traditional home-made christmas spirit, although I didnt actually realise it when I popped round there one afternoon with her christmas card; she hugged me to her and said "you must come in and taste my rumtopf". Given that she was standing on the inside step of the house and I'm not that tall, you can guess where my face landed up. Made my christmas, that did. The drink wasnt bad either.
