One of my favorite parts of the holidays

I normally only write about art oriented stuff but today I am going to talk about something that I find very amusing and silly, but it is also true.

One of my favorite things about all the excesses in food that comes around the holidays is the "cranberry sauce" that comes in a can. For some reason, I absolutely love this stuff and every now and then some purist friend of mine will come along and tell me that it is uncultured and terrible. So one day a few years ago I tried some of the "real stuff" that people make in their houses using real cranberries and seriously thought that I was in for a treat.

I found it amusing and my friends / family at the time did as well because I found the "real" cranberry sauce to be disgusting and bitter despite the fact that according to the person that made it, it has a ton of sugar in it because cranberries are very bitter in their natural state.

So I will always revert to my cranberry sauce that is shaped like the can it came out of. If that makes me low class then I suppose that is what I am. I also prefer Cool Whip to actual whipped cream... this drives my mother crazy but when I visit she always makes sure she has Cool Whip just to avoid me throwing a fit!
