My wife(born a Cappiarola) would heartily approve. At our place, we mix
the
Italian specialities with my WASPy mix of cocktail shrimp, prime rib and

Buncha friggin' commies!

THE proper Christmas dinner was, is , and always will be; Roasted turkey
(without any sordid aberrations of mixtures of *anything* stuffed in its
body cavity), mashed taters, giblet gravy (made from scratch and containing
none of that smoke-in-the-bottle crap), a pan of cornbread dressing (made
with about a cup of homegrown sage), cranberry sauce (the kind that comes in
a can and wiggles like Jello), and for dessert a pumpkin pie and that red
Jello dish with all that stringy stuff in it.

If you don't like the traditional Christmas Dinner and want to eat all that
EYE-talian stuff, go get your own damn holiday and call it All Mobster's Eve
or Saint Soprano's Day or something.
