American Holiday Traditions

I've heard lots of ketchup is used. Been tempted for YEARS to see what fermented and watered down ketchup would taste like. Never had the intestinal fortitude to attempt it.

Jenne might correct me but, I read in a "recipe" that the ketchup is not used for its sugar contents but rather disguising flavours and something with the preservatives.

Oh gross.  No, I don't know, but I can certainly ask.  lol.

I bet your dad will be great whenever you forget to take your house or car keys, though.

He was great at that before he went up north.    But that is mostly because he worked on cars and in real estate back in his not-so-ill-begotten youth.

Driving through my new neighborhood at night, I noticed that none of my new neighbors have any Christmas lights up yet.  Not like the spags in my current neighborhood who started putting them up before Thanksgiving.

Some would argue that as the only proper and acceptable use of christmas lights.
