I had Christmas “dinner” today at my mother-in-law’s retirement center at 11:00 o’clock this morning. The choices were filet mignon and duck l’orange, and I got the duck. It was delicious. This is definitely an upper-middle class place, as you could probably tell from the menu. Oh, and we started with a shrimp and crabmeat salad. This definitely wasn’t Meals on Wheels.
This was the third “Christmas” event I’ve been to already this year, and we’ve got three or four more to go to before December 25th. We’re going to have three more at our house, and, frankly, it’s getting to be too much. I understand the impulse to entertain at Christmas, but enough is enough. I only have one red dress shirt, and I’m about to wear it out. I mean, how many times can you wear and wash a shirt in a month?
