My family gets tired of eating it too so we have been buying smaller turkeys lately; I just eat the stuffing because I'm a veggie…Realistically witty senryu Jan!~Che :)

I got our joint some months ago as I was expecting mum to join us but she decided to stay and eat in the care home which was a blessing as we are all fighting colds in fact I have only just seen her after 6 days. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and new year:-) hugs jan xx

I make 'bubble and squeak' with the left over roasties and sprouts Christmas is the only time I get to make it and it reminds me of childhood Christmases as mum always used to make it on boxing day with cold meat:-) hugs jan xx

Is that old turkey? Away and Closet Will Stay Had to put Christmas things away, With so much sadness and dismay; My each stocking; Memory blocking; Until next year in closet shall stay. Jim Horn

Jan, if I was your guest, you wouldn't have leftover. I eat too much and take extra leftover for the night snacks and the next day meal... Lol! Good one and you're making me hungry now :) hugs and smiles :)

We just finished our Thanksgiving turkey as well, so we didn't opt for it for Christmas. We ate steak at the chop place (Steak house) yesterday. Good stuff. I'm more beef, but Judy love turkeys. (That's how I got my foot in the door!!)............great write.....xx....pat

Too big a turkey or a too little gathering. Very nice, dear Jan! Sounds delicious! Perhaps different accompaniments will make for a variety! Hugs and Merry Merry Happy New Year! ;)
