This year, our family is breaking with our usual tradition.

We always serve a Christmas swan because its so much fun to watch the kids fight over the neck. This year were having a California Condor-it tastes just like spotted owl. The bird is going to be stuffed with sausage made from baby seals. We all have to bring our own baseball bats in order to club the seals that will be made into stuffing. Best of all, this year its my turn to OJ the bird. As a present, Im giving my nephew a Milli Vanilli doll. You press a button and Teddy Ruxbin sings.

HAPPY HOLIDAY TO ALL!
