We are starting the Perfect Holiday season, as practiced and performed here.
As we enter the holiday season I invite you all to enter this thread and spread warmth, cheer, and joy.
We celebrate the season and all the holidays and Holy Days within it. Whether you are just finishing Ramadan or preparing for Hanukkah, whether you demand that Christ return to Christmas, or flee from organized religion, or all of the above, you are welcome.
There are some rules.
Food is to be offered in a communal feast. All food in this thread is of the finest quality, and is miraculously free of calories, carbohydrates, salts or any other dangerous ingredients.
Alcohol is plentiful and guaranteed to leave no hangover.
Presents are to be given to everyone, so even the Lurkers out there get something.
No commercialization, no commercials, and no selling.
No serious threads. You want to debate religion or politics or even Artificial VS Real Christmas trees, leave now.
We will need someone to be in charge of punishing those who break these rules. Rita? That sounds up your alley.
If you love the holidays, welcome.
If you hate the holidays or any of the holidays, stick around. We hope that we've removed any thing you could possibly dislike, (including crazy relatives and depressing office politics) and leave only the joy, wonder, and sharing.
Grab a warm blanket, sit by the fire, roast a few chestnuts and enjoy. There is Egg Nog on the table and French Onion Dip to your left.
Happy Holidays to all.

We have 24 dozen mixed cookies, all made by my wife's Italian grandmother (she makes 12 Gross of cookies every year to pass out to everyone). We are a bit short on chocolate chip though. We have sesame seed cookies, and thumbpring cookies and anise cookies and powder-puff cookies and a bunch more.

I come bearing my mother's panforte.... it's gooooooood.
(My mother cannot make things rise in the kitchen - problem for souffles and sponges but it means her brownies and panforte are divine)

Here are some more cookies - the kind that are crackers with peanut butter dipped in dark chocolate.
And a couple bottles of Bailey's. Like Dan said, no hangovers, no matter how much you have!
Who wants to sing? I know lots of Christmas carols, and I'm a quick learner, so let's do some other songs, too!

Eruve, it's jazz. *shoots Eruve a withering look*
Any more requests? I might just step out for a minute to get the cheese log that I've been hankering for.

Lovely party...but may I offer an actual Thanksgiving song? Well, sort of..."Alice's Restaurant", by Arlo Guthrie. The holidays just aren't the same without it.
*takes a cookie and goes off to stand in the corner, as she always does at parties*
