Q: My top two: 1. My kid's mom baked a turkey with the gizzards still in it. 2. Brother in law picked up daughter, held her in the air, and broke a light fixture showering the table with glass. (The gizzards were still wrapped in butcher paper.)
A: Our family did the same, with the insides still inside/paper.. and there's a few other memories... 1. My father had a tough time carving the turkey, and was alone in the kitchen -- so just started cutting cubes & square-ish pieces wherever he could break it off.. (he's not allowed near the turkey, for the last 10 years). 2. The cranberry sause is always, but always nearly forgotten -- and is served in the exact shape it was, in the can. You can see the lines/rings around its cyclinder shape. 3. One guest shot himself in the eye-socket with a bottle of wine, pushing out the cork -- and we took him to the ER (early in the afternoon). 4. Toothpicks were in the stuffing, one year and they caught fire/burned (evident, when served). 5. We always forget 1-2 dishes in the kitchen. Until later that night, when people have already eaten deserts.
