Now don't get smart w/ nopardons. She cooks a huge Christmas dinner with roasted goose each year. No fooling around for this gal! Rumor has it that a few years back she gave her Connecticut neighbor Martha Stewart cooking lessons and showed her how to keep an herb garden.

Hi, my dear ! : - )

My kitchen garden IS rather nice and still producing. We've had such unusually warm weather, here. LOL

The goose is in the freezer, and I've already begun the goulash ( old family recipe, which family tradition claims goes back to Attila the HUN ! Very distant relative, which is another good reason to NOT cross me . ) , for Christmas Eve. I won't make the egg noodles for another day. : ^ )

MERRY CHRISTMAS , to you and your's, my dear.

At the KOC Local 313
There's a fat man standing by the soda machine
And he knows, he knows, he knows
Life can be funny

He calls the hair salon says put Loretta on
Cause the mall just called and said the last guy's gone
And I know, I know, God knows
We need the money

And he's a big red cherry
But it's hard to be merry
When the kids are all laughing
Saying hey it's Jerry Garcia
Ain't he cute?
The man in the Santa suit

And all the Moms in town bring their brats around
And they can't sit still or keep their rootbeer down
Now it's up, hey how 'bout that
It looks like a milkshake

Now Jimmy's grown this year says Mommy quick come here
Santa's sweaty and he smells like beer
And he says, kid shut your mouth
You give me a headache

And he's jolly and hairy
But it's hard to be merry
When the guys at the bar
Say he looks like a fairy
But he's doing it just for the loot
The man in the Santa suit

[break] verse x2

And he's a big red cherry
He's jolly and hairy
Everyone's laughing, but he doesn't care
He stays cool
Ain't he cute?
The man in the Santa suit
