Fattening the Flock

I first posted this quite a few years ago, and happened to run across it recently. These were my mother's turkeys, mostly salt and pepper shakers, but also candle holders and figurines that people gave her. After she died, they were distributed among the family, and everyone now has a way to include Grandma at the Thanksgiving table. Most years, that would be a moot point, since we normally eat the Thanksgiving feast together. This year, for various reasons, everyone is scattered across the country for the holiday. 

 

Which means they are all coming for Christmas, and bringing friends.
