TURKEY (again) for
CHRISTMAS
BAKED STUFFED TURKEY
18-24 lb. turkey
1 cup melted butter
3 cups stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is fine)
2 cups uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brush turkey well with melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn. Place in baking pan with the
neck end toward the back of the oven.
Listen for the popping sounds.
When the turkey's rear end blows the
oven door open and the turkey flies
across the room, it is done!
Christmas comes, but once a year is enough.
Our children await Christmas
presents like politicians getting election returns; there's Uncle
George precinct and the Aunt Hazel district still to come in.
It's customarily said that
Christmas is done 'for the kids'. Considering how awful
Christmas is and how little our society likes children, this must be
true.
Still Christmas is a good time
with all those presents and good food and I hope it will never die out
or at any rate not until I am grown up and have to pay for it all.
I love the Christmas-tide and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give!
I love Christmas. I receive a lot of
wonderful presents I can't wait to exchange.
The first rule in buying Christmas
presents is to select something shiny. If the chosen item is of
leather, the leather must look as if it had been well greased; if of
silver, it must gleam with the light that never was on sea or land.
This is because the wariest person will often mistake shininess for
expensiveness.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL
