Holiday party, part deux

ChristmasDecorations

 

Earlier today Desiree posted this under a previous entry, Merry Christmas, so you may have missed it:

Now I know I'm a few days behind and this is slightly off topic. I'm trying to find a nice place to have a holiday time dinner with friends--@ 10 of us and we want a place that really decorates for the holidays. Any suggestions?

The only place I can think of that decorates extravagantly is the Ambassador Dining Room, which covers its sunporch in fairy lights, red ribbons and wreaths. Other than that, I have no suggestions, and if you or your friends don't like Indian food this wouldn't work. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

By the way, I came across the photo in The Sun archives. It even looks somewhat appropriate to my post, but not if you read the bizarre caption:

Goldie, a 16-year-old lesser sulfur crested cockatoo, puts the final decoration on a Christmas tree Monday, Dec. 12, 2005, at SeaWorld San Diego. (AP Photo/SeaWorld, Bob Couey)

That bird is alive.

There seems to be a bird theme in my posts today. Total coincidence, I assure you.

While I'm at it and talking about our archives, I should answer MB's question under Crab Cake Lessons I Have Learned. The photo of Sip & Bite was taken in 1980.
