It's beginning to look like Christmas

In the photo, you can see one of our retirement village residents helping at the cocktail bar at our recent Christmas dinner. The cocktails were not particularly fancy but there was a choice, and plenty of non-alcoholic offerings as well. Most people had more than one and it was all included in the price of the dinner. Our waiter is wearing a hat. At first, I couldn’t work out what it was but it’s a dressed turkey. I guess it came from Temu too. All in all, it was a fun night.

I recognized the "hat" as soon as I saw it. I'm glad everyone had a great night!

I seem to be a bit slow on the uptake lately. I had trouble working out what it was supposed to represent. It's very obvious once you know but I didn't get it at first.

@JudyEv No, you aren't. There wasn't any reason you should know that people in the US are kind of crazy and think things like that are funny. Temu just caught on first.

I guess that’s been happening around here too. Partues are popping here and there. As an introvert l am not into it but l do enjoy watching from the sidelines.

Quite a few people had dressed up. One gentleman had a Christmas tie which he only ever wears once a year. lol

He seems to do his job very professionally. I have seen the Turkey hat on Amazon for around 7 Euro.

That's not really expensive. I'd hate to have to make such a hat.

Vince always takes his camera and takes a lot of photos. He puts them up on the village FB site for people to see.

Are the hats sold freely or are there special rules that we have to eat somewhere?

The dinner is organised by the social committee. People bought their own hats.

This man seems to enjoy helping at the cocktail bar. He had to choose a bottle or something for a barman more than a turkey. This hat in the photo is sold by Amazon here. This is a good hat for a "barman".

@JudyEv I wonder why I commented twice here. I thought that this comment disappeared.

I thought it was some kind of crown. When you said it was a turkey, I took a closer look. Funny! Interesting! I'm glad it was a fun night.

It's very well done once you twig to what it's supposed to be.

I have realised the same too. Normally the Christmas mood begins after December date 5.

Your village dinner sounds like a festive time and the guy at the grill is certainly dressed for laughs and the holidays.

The time for merriment is not far and you have heralded it ahead of others. The hat is striking and invites attention right away.
