Ha Bumhug! Christmas is what you make of it. Back in the UK I'd rather spend the day by myself playing World of Warcraft or something than spend time with people. Here.... well I'd rather do the same but my wife and kids won't let me

I'm sure someone could mess with the wiring to fix that 
Anyway, saw a 35 pound turkey today in the grocery store. It was $110....WTF for just bird..and who has a oven big enough? Well someone who has enough to blow on a bird I guess...but that thing was almost as big as my 4 year old

We've decided to just go with the turkey breast this year, only the three of us... Not much sense in having all that leftover turkey for turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches.....
Or so my husband thinks....

It was something I found, quite by accident, the first year we were back from the UK (apparently a lot changes when you're only gone for 5 years! lol) And, I like to have it on and pretend like there's real warmth coming from it, that and annoy my family with continuous Christmas music! Yes nothing says Merry Christmas like fake fire and continuous Christmas music!

The only way to eat turkey is the Cuban way. Marinade it and lather it with butter, serve it with yuca, black beans and rice. Dry-ass turkey is not cool.

I want Happy Hannukah ads on tv so that Jewish people don't feel left out.
