When I was a kid, we'd mostly go to a friend of the Family's Mother's place because Dad came from a big family (16 B&S) and didn't want to deal with the ones that'd show up for a free meal and all the kids..... There would be usually about 12-15 folks. The Guys and kids old enough went rabbit hunting (and maybe a grouse or two if you could keep your drawers clean and shoot one) in the morning while the women/girls done the cooking.
Since I've been over here, either went to someone's (soldier) place or the mess hall for a good meal til I got hooked up with the old bat. Not a German holiday but she always takes off work and cooks a big meal and we invite a couple folks over as regulars and I take a drive on post and look for a couple soldiers wondering around and drag them home for a meal....
Same this year....But the old bat just called me and told me to get a trailer ready for Thursday morning so we can go pick up my tractor cab that I bought a month ago and haven't been able to pick up (200 miles away)... while her friend starts the dinner and we come back and finish up/eat... Knew I kept her around for something :roll:
