Top Chef

"It's all about the presentation,"

I chide my fellow crew members

as they jam their hand into a bag of chips

before jamming that same hand into their mouth.

A simple 3 cheese sandwich on rye

nestles up next to two

of my special dipping sauces.

Simple things.

Nothing says Christmas like a 3 cheese sandwich.

We are not savages.

My fellow crew members are convinced I'm nuts.

***

Christmas time is here.

Time to spend quality moments with family and friends

and friends of families

and friends of friends

and

"White Christmas"

and jingle bells

and

stockings and gifts

and cheese sandwiches

and trees and lights and tinsel

and tinsel all over the house.

Let the stress begin!!
