You read the Christmas story prior to opening kettles? That's interesting. I'm not the one who bought you the worst gift you ever recieved, am I?

Thanks for letting me know the mistake. As you can tell, I am rapidly tiring of kettles!

Prime rib....I love it but have never had it for Christmas. Normally we have turkey and if it is not turkey, it is ham (normally ham is on New Years if we had turkey on Christmas). This year for New Years we have to think through our main meal as Josh will be flying back from the bowl game mid afternoon.
