My mother would put things off until he last minute. One year, she was expecting the entire family and extended family for Christmas dinner. True to form, she went out the day before Christmas to buy a turkey and could not find one that would be large enough to feed everyone. She asked the butcher, "Do these turkeys get any bigger?" The butcher answered, "Of course not, maam. They're dead."
And here I am, as happy as a dead turkey on Boxing Day (well, happier than that), wishing you retroactively an excellent Solstice Holiday and an even happier new year...
