I didn't know they offer all of that!!! Sounds good to me! All the food you can eat. Inexpensive, plus no cleaning?!?!? I'd consider that... For now I think I'm going to start my own family holilday traditions, being a newly wed and all. The important thing we have to keep in mind is that we are with whom we choose to be with during the holiday season. Big or small, I agree that sometimes I've had to not only slave all day in the kitchen but then had to deal with some really annoying family stuff. Ahhh, but that too is typical isn't it?

Now don't laugh. Some of us have teeny tiny families: Mom, Dad, me....so cooking THAT much is usually a waste unless we use one small Cornish Hen, one can of corn and maybe a can of Spam? ...so, we discovered Old Country Buffet...its GREAT! and less than $15 a person...if your parents are senior citizen (which they dont like to admit in public, but thats another 10% off!!)..you get everything: Turkey, Ham, Roast Beef, corn, stuffing, mashed potatoes, Pies!!...not to mention the abundance of all sodas, juices, and every pecan, pumpkin and pleasurable pie you'd want...don't forget the salads and the soft serve ice cream machine to stuff your face with...So, you leave with a bigger gut than before, someone to clean your dirty dishes after you gluttonously walk to the buffett 5 times, and all for cheaper than the cost of a nice UN frozen turkey!! OCB is NOT open on Christmas..trust me, we made this mistake two years in a row..bummer. The moral of the story is: If you dont have a big family, go to OCB where random strangers at table can be the closest family you'll ever know without the annoyances:) So, my horror story is this…we don’t do the big (half frozen;) bird, the stuffing, the ham…we go to Old County Buffet.
