CHRISTMAS
why do we celebrate the birth of a bastard child from an unwed mother, now revered...but the catholic church condemned and in other countries you would be stoned to death...or the jolly white haired guy in the red or green suit depending on if you drank pepsi or coke back in the 50's, that breaks into your house and leaves presents under a tree that was only started by a german and that is now "traditional"...or just eating a turkey...very dry and tasteless bird...
I usually cook goose, it tastes better, is more moist and in the UK more traditional.
