Meal No. 1166: Christmas Eve Eve Feast

This year's Christmas feast took place this evening, with a happy hungry crowd of celebrants with hearty appetites. The holiday is an excuse to make the grand Thanksgiving meal that I love. The downside for me: it was the worst day of my Christmas cold and I was a miserable so-and-so throwing all this together, and thanks to my tastebuds being a bit off, I couldn't even get the full measure of its goodness. The reports were favorable from the gathered crowd, though.
