The lady who cuts mine and Jon's hair had 8 ducks she kept as pets back in the summer to give away. I teased her to keep them til the holidays for me lol. We got Jon's friend who has a small farm to adopt them and he has them spoiled rotten. He has a pond on his place the ducks love to swim in and they meet him at the back door every morning for their breakfast. Honestly if I knew someone around here selling fresh ducks I wouldn't mind buying one for Christmas. There are a lot of farms here but everyone just raises cattle. Beef is pricey no matter where you get it.
Mama if my father in law decides to do a big old Christmas dinner at his place he better be prepared to slap on an apron and cook it. Last year was the first time in 12 years I actually enjoyed Christmas without spending the day of with my back aching and half asleep from standing for three days before cooking. I'm done!
I volunteered to cook the little dinner for my brother who is disabled and I will do that a few days before Christmas. All I am making them are the turkey, gravy, mashed taters, mac and cheese, dressing, bread and something sweet for dessert. I take a lot of help from the store on their dinner so it is pretty easy. My brother is in bad health so I am super grateful when he is here to cook for any day of the year.
