awww thanks. It’s just what I wanted.

Merry Christmas. (Although I’m pretty sure it’s not Christmas until panic sets in!) I have done absolutely nothing toward the big day yet.

It will only survive until Schroedinger arrives to inspect it. Then, ALL BETS ARE OFF!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

Mine is an EVIL laugh!! 🙂

Actually, I need to get a real tree this year as well. The only fake trees that can stand up to that little monster cost around $219 dollars.

you should see what he did last year to the tree I put up. TOTALY FLATTENED……

he was gonna get dem dastardly birdy ornaments OR ELSE!!!

You could always just keep him in a Christmas box until the holiday is over, Scuba. 🙂

Nice tree Ms Weasel! We put ours up yesterday, but our DD is out of town until Christmas day so we won’t decorate until then. And goose? Goose’s are so darn cute, how can you eat one???????

ALL food is cute when it’s walking around. Trussed up and covered in foil? Considerably less so.

Merry Christmas to Badger House! I like your tree—it’s real, not like mine (covered in birds and cute, but small and fake). How tall is your tree? There’s nothing to gauge the scale, unless that is a computer disk I see hanging on the lower right. What else do you serve with goose?

Nah, I’d miss him too much. he can be a little shit sometimes, but he’s a LOVEABLE little shit (and he knows it, too)

Thank you, Deborah – and a Merry Christmas to you, too 🙂

It’s not a very big tree (our ancestors were small and you’d be amazed how low the ceilings are here). It sits in a ‘high spot’ where.. ummm.. I dunno.. they herded the mammoths through or something and is about six feet tall – with a dizzying gap of about a foot above it!

In the main room, Her Ladyship and I just just scrape in under the beams – well, except for one, that is, where it’s a case of duck or die.

You get used to it.

As for the goose and what goes with, we’ll treat it just like a turkey.

Ackshly. one of the best things about goose is the fat they bequeath. Goose fat is legendary for the roast potatoes it produces.

Stop drooling, badger. It’s rude.

Bah. I’m too busy for any of this Christmas stuff. Doing my finals this week you see. I also have the theme to “Love Boat” stuck in my head.

Oh Deborah, get a cat. Then you can have REAL birds for your tree.

Good luck, RW!

Looks very Christmasy. I am appreciating photos this year as I have talked myself out of getting a tree. We don’t spend any time in the room it would be in to enjoy it and I’d have to find a place to dispose of it come January. Well, okay, not so much the finding of a place as the getting out in subzero with wind to get rid of it. I’m a wuss when it comes to that. 🙂

I can’t put up a real tree because of the 5 dogs and 4 cats. Nothing worse than tinsel after having gone through the gastrointestinal tract of a cat.

Well, there is worse, I’m sorry to say. Helping it come out. EWWWW, EW EW.

I bet your tree smells divine. I was out in Cali forn i a. Last week and our friends put up their tree. I just lurved sitting next to it with the fire roaring, it smelled wonderful!! Alas, we have the faux tree in our house and there just is NO areosol that gives that fresh piney smell.

Mmm. Taters roasted in goose fat—sounds delish. Here at Buzzards Roost, Christmas is coming on the 19th! I’ve decided on a traditional meal in my family: brisket, pinto beans, cornbread, cold salads–which the rest of the family will bring (potato, pea, green tossed, cole slaw), and PAH! (pumpkin, pecan, Dutch apple, and a layered pudding dessert called “Better Than Sex Cake” which the men adore) Merry Christmas Y’all!

I’m embarrassed. I only got you this silly comment.

“I hesitated because they’re so large and not very nice cold the next day…”

Au contraire! Cold goose is the best, better even than cold turkey!

Wait. That came out wrong…

Okay Deborah, you must share the better than sex cake thing.

That’s a nice tree, not as nice as the crap tree, though — http://michaelscomments.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/the-crap-tree-4/
