I was ready to reconsider Xmas until that last green slop pic. The Lentil dip is for me & anyone else who wants some, since I am not a fan of ground up meat salted and peppered and stuffed into a casing of intestine or something. How about Guac, Tortilla chips and Salsa?

I don't believe in Santa, Jesus or Kukla Fran & Ollie, but I do appreciate and enjoy festive decorations, tasty nibbles and good company. Thanks, Mare, for organizing such a swell party.

Jesus, Buddha or the Wizard of Oz? Thank you for acknowledging my attempt to Festivate up the place, peggs! I invite you and all others to add your own decor and potluck specialties! Yes, I am not too keen on pinning a deity on a human, myself. One of my sisters uses the term "pretend Jesus" to describe said deity. (Kukla, Fran and Ollie, would be a nice change for the government, though.) I was really bummed to find out there was no Santa Claus and I told my kids Santa is just a really good story. Then, my former sister-in-law watched the kids while I went to a movie and she took them to SIT ON SANTA'S LAP at the next door mall and disregarded my intention not to mess with the kids' minds. I think it is ok to have a Santa handing out gifts at a party for adults and older kids, but do not force kids to sit on a stranger (and potential weirdo) at the Mall, just because you want a GD photograph. Needless to say, I have been smashing down some anger all these years.

Thanks, Mare, for the correct deity reference; I couldn't think of the song or the trinity. Family can such ignoramuses - ignorami (?). I have no recollection of finding out Santa wasn't real - lost in the midst of time, I guess. You don't say how long ago your kids sat on santa's lap but I hope in the present day they haven't suffered any long lasting trauma. Imagine the living hell if clowns were the face of the Christmas holidays. Even though my professional baking days are far behind me, I still enjoy making good food. I'll look through my recipes and see what I can come up with. ;-)

First trip to Confounded Mall Santa the kids were probably 3 and 5, and the other trip a year after that. Why would you want to make somebody's kids uncomfortable like that? Oh, yes, baked goods sound like a fine addition to the party fare, peggs! Please do! Santa in real life is as creepy to me as clowns are to people watching It. (Or reading It.) I say ignorami...ignoramuses sounds like you are Tigger/Paul Winchell. Looks like ignoramuses is correct though, no red dots under it to correct me. Does that mean it is Oragamuses instead of Oragami? No.
