I ended up simply leaving the damn turkey in the freezer where I like it best anyway......except it takes up space. We had what has become our normal "Holiday Dinner" which consists of Scallops, Shrimp, Crab, Mussels, etc. A nice sweet potato for Karen and I and the boys have baked. No need for other sides as we completely pig out on the shellfish. New York cheesecake for dessert and a nice Reisling in the glass tops it all off.

Beats the hell out of turkey which we already ate at the multi-family Thanksgiving at Jenn' home.   We got away from holiday style meals when the boys were young as neither of them wanted anything we'd have except mashed potatoes and canned cranberry gel stuff. Hence, Karen and I would pig out on the stuffings and the cassroles we'd make which was ridiculous. Both of the boys have always loved seafood so......
