Tradition

In Gulfport, Mississippi our family Christmas tradition includes Bruce's famous gumbo. This time there was sausage, chicken, smoked pork, and shrimp.
We had quite a crowd over to the house for dinner - they were all former neighbors from Pascagoula and long-time friends. I had a lovely time getting to know them all.

What are some of your Christmas traditions?

or... maybe it's just me?

So which is it?

My good friend and co-worker, also named Brian, called me from the road to report this sign and he kindly sent me a picture.

While I'm pleased about the Toys for Tots drop off site - what with it being Christmas time and all, I'm confused.

I'm confused about the juxtaposition of the China Buffet with the promise, dare I say "command", to build your own taco. So which is it? Is it a China Buffet or a build your own taco joint? Is it Szechuan or Chez Juan?

... maybe it's just me?

Ham: it's not just for Christmas anymore

I feel a little badly about ripping off another blog so, thanks to Seth Godin for his post.

Ham for Channukah?


Have they come up with some kind of kosher ham?

... maybe it's just me?
