Sister and niece are balking over traditional Xmas dinner

Maybe she doesn't want her daughter to hear the priest say her pervert uncle is going to cook in hell after he dies?

Civilized people would never use the execrable Xmas. The word is Christmas.

My sister's children cried at the table the year she got fancy and served goose. She didn't know goose is dark and oily until she served it that one time.

You may think you have risen above your so obvious white trash roots but don’t expect your kinfolk to share your underserved lofty ideas.

Boring! Where's the 18 year old nephew troll to spice this up?

never ever eaten goose.....does not sound too yummy.

Maybe your niece's daughter needs a new Easter bonnet?

What's with the pervert comment? I find that very offensive in today's climate.

Easter bonnets are not worn on Xmas. Which is a perfectly acceptable abbreviation, by the way. And it doesn't matter if anyone thinks goose is "yummy." It's traditional and you cannot go against tradition. My sainted mother served it every year. My sister hates it and vowed never to eat it again after Mother died, but I'm trying to re-institute it this year.

I am not fond of goose. Go to church your self although I can not see the reason for it...unless you just want to sing Christmas Carols which will probably not be allowed.

You may need to try to compromise OP. If your niece at least dresses her daughter in properly polished Mary Janes and wears a starched pinafore, you may want to allow her absence from services. Besides, if she were not dressed appropriately in that way, wouldn't it be just mortifying to have the other parishioners witness her slouched with her poor posture in the pew, texting away and embarrassing you the entire time? Or perhaps you can convince your niece to allow her daughter to live-tweet the entire service, in the sake of anthropological interest.

No r8. It’s not acceptable anywhere except your double wide and maybe your local liquor store ads. The civilized world abhors Xmas.

Has your great niece spoiled herself by using tampons? How's Roemary?

The only people I've ever heard complain about the use of Xmas are ignorant religious fanatics.

I haven't asked about the tampons. I'm sure my niece has given them to her, but at this point, I just don't want to know. It's too awful to think about.

Goose has very little meat. I'd rather duck or a smoked turkey.

Are you still in touch with your lady friend, OP? The one that asked you to perform cunnilingus son her?

OP, I love tradition. I hate rigidity. I ask you to rethink the goose. It sounds horrible. Sauerbraten might be nice for a change. I’m sure it’s in somebody’s tradition.

I always wonder if the OP really thinks his post is original or amusing.

This sounds like fucking Frau problems. Why bring them to a gay board.

No, freak. CHRISTIANS go to church on Xmas and Easter.

I'd hesitate to categorize any Christian as civilized. You sound a bit dense.

Your niece will live a healthier life not believing in an invisible sky fairy. But feel free to tell them both they don't have to come if they don't like your menu.

Goose? Do you live in 19th century London, OP?

i knew "yummy" was gonna get a reaction.......no goose for me. or duck. or turkey....ho ho ho you dolt.

My grandmother served goose one Christmas. It was awful.

Everyone in my family is dead except for one 2nd cousin, so I don’t have these problems to worry about.

Why don’t you compromise, and bring the goose to church?

Don't cook the goose. Goose the cook.

Civilized people think for themselves.

You have to do two dishes...think of your guests comfort.

What kind of stuffing will you be making, OP? What is traditional for you? Sage and onion? Cornbread? Oyster stuffing? Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes? The real delight is always in the details!

[quote] traditional holiday meat

Will you be serving port after dinner in your best Christmas caftan, OP?

One simply must attend Christmas Services. And what would Jesus Birthday be without a Seared Goose on the Dining Table. One simply must have Goose. Simply. One Must.

Dickens be damned. Goose is foul, gamey, oily and overall ghastly. Turkey and ham are both fine as traditional alternatives and of course you can actually have whatever pleases you and your guests, including Chinese Takeout. But Goose? Really? What's wrong with you?

No one has to be anywhere anymore. They may ditch you next week.

Christmas is going to be so nice...filled with love. Beautiful.

Good people are beautiful. On the inside. They see the magic in the world, not the ugliness that is all around them. God knows. Toodles!

Redundant.

The third bad niece thread today. the other two have already been F/F'd

OP's niece is a cunt

Would a true Xtian say Xmas?

I love mean uncle threads.

at least the uncle threads have that whiff of pedo -- to keep the crowds baying
