CHRISTMAS
COMMUNITY DINNER
(A
CHANGE IN PLANS)
Martha
Stewart will not be dining with us this Christmas. I'm
telling you in advance, so don't act surprised. Since Ms.
Stewart won't be coming, I've made a few small changes:
Our sidewalk will not be lined with homemade, paper bag
luminaries. After a trial run, it was decided that no
matter how cleverly done, rows of flaming lunch sacks do
not have the desired welcoming effect.
The dining table will not be covered with expensive
linens, fancy china or crystal goblets. If possible, we
will use dishes that match and everyone will get a fork.
Since this IS Christmas, we will refrain
from using the plastic Peter Rabbit plate and the napkins
from last Easter.
Our centerpiece will not be the tower of fresh fruit and
flowers that I promised. Instead we will be displaying a
hedgehog-like decoration hand-crafted from the finest
construction paper. The artist assures me it is a turkey.
We will be dining fashionably late. The children will
entertain you while you wait. I'm sure they will be happy
to share every choice comment I have made regarding
Christmas, baby Jesus and the turkey hotline. Please
remember that most of these comments were made at 5:00 AM
upon discovering that the turkey was still hard enough to
cut diamonds. As accompaniment to the children's recital,
I will play a recording of tribal drumming. If the
children should mention that I don't own a recording of
tribal drumming, or that tribal drumming sounds
suspiciously like a frozeen turkey in a clothes dryer,
ignore them. They are lying.
We toyed with the idea of ringing a dainty silver bell to
announce the start of our feast. In the end, we chose to
keep our traditional method. We've also decided against a
formal seating arrangement. When the smoke alarm sounds,
please gather around the table and sit where you like. In
the spirt of harmony, we will ask the children to sit at
a seperate table. In a seperate room. Next door.
Now I know you have all seen pictures of one person
carving a turkey in front of a crowd of appreciative
onlookers. This will not be happening at our dinner. For
safety reasons, the tuirkey will be carved in a private
ceremony. I stress "private" meaning: Do not,
under any circumstances, enter the kitchen to laugh at me.
Do not send small, unsuspecting children to check on my
progress. I have an electric knife. The turkey is unarmed.
It stands to reason that I will eventually win. When I do,
we will eat.
Before I forget, there is one last change. Instead of
offering a choice between 12 different scrumptious
desserts, we will be serving the tradiditional pumpkin
pie, garnished with whipped cream and small fingerprints.
You will still have a choice: take it or leave it.
Martha Stewart will not be dining with us this Christmas.
She probably won't come next year either.
I am thankful.
