This is My Holiday Table. (NOT!)

Do you like the photo of a Christmas table I am sharing with this discussion? This is what my holiday table looks like. NOT! I remember our Christmas holiday meals, when I was growing up, not only because the food was great but because Thanksgiving and Christmas were the only two times of the year when my mother actually set out a spread of food ON A TABLE. During the rest of the year it was … You hungry? … Go into the kitchen and take up your own plate of food out of the pots. I used to watch Sandra Lee's cooking show on cable TV. Ms. Lee is a popular TV chef and hostess diva darling on American television. This woman! Honestly! Every meal at her house is like a major event. On the show she not only shows you how to cook a meal but then she has to go all out telling you how to set the table and how your house should be decorated to fit the theme … and on and on. Then she says “Now if you'll excuse I have go change my clothes so I can greet my guests.” I'm like: THEME?? Decorate my house?/? Change my clothes??? Good grief! I'm already worn out just from preparing the meal. LOL. Total hostess diva I AM NOT!! * * * What about you? Are you a diva-type hostess? It's OK if you're a guy. Guys can be diva-types too! I used to watch another cooking show where the guy prepared dinner wearing a tuxedo. Dude diva show off!
