Ha!!!!!! You Da Man MUD!! Merry Christmas my dear friend.
"At last the dishes were set on, and grace was said. It was succeeded by a breathless pause, as Mrs. Cratchit, looking slowly all along the carving knife prepared to plunge it in the goose, but when she did and when the long-expected gush of stuffing issued forth, a murmer of delight arose all around the board, and even Tiny Tim beat on the table with the handle of his knife and cried 'Hurrah'!
"There never was such a goose. Bob Cratchit said he didn't believe there ever was such a goose cooked. Its tenderness, size and flavor were the themes of universal admiration.
"Edged out by apple sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family.
"Everyone had enough and the youngest Cratchits in particular were steeped in sage and onion to the eyebrows.
" 'Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone', cried Tiny Tim."
