If I was in charge of making a holiday dinner I would make turkey. I make turkey by putting it in the crocke pot for a couple of days. Then my dad cuts for light meat and dark meat. He puts it all on a plate on the table. We do this every Thanksgiving. Do you know what else I’ll make? It’s going to be delicious whatever I make! I will make potatoes and I will put them in his machine and the machine will mix it up. Then I mash it up and put it in a bowl. Then the potatoes are done. Next I should make stuffing. How I serve it is that my dad makes it and I put on all the seasoning on it and stuff. The last thing to make is chicken. I make chicken that I have in my freezer, then I put it in my crocke pot for some days and I’m done making a delicious meal.

I would start with steak and ice cream and cake for a dessert. In the morning when the party starts I will make oatmeal. At night I will serve chicken and mashed potatoes. Maybe I’ll grill cheese bugers. For Christmas I would bake cookies with the red reindeer on them. And have popovers and citty coktales with cherrys and the mane meal will be terky.

I would serve mash potatoes, gravy, steak, chicken and dumplings for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, All Saints Day, and President’s Day. The drinks would be sparkling apple and milk. Dessert would be a two-foot tall marble cake, chocolate cake, and five king-size Hershey’s candy bars and snowman rolls. Mmmmmmmm.

For a Halloween dinner I would serve pumpkin cookies and pumpkin cake. I would make two whole turkeys but not the feathers. I would put four candles inside all of the Jack-O-Lanterns and turn all of the lights in the house off. It would be nighttime. I would serve mash potatoes and peas. What I would serve with the mash potatoes is some gravy and I would serve steak with barbeque. Then barbeque ribs with macaroni and cheese. (I love macaroni and cheese.)

If I were in charge of making a Christmas dinner I would serve Rice Krispies with red hots. I would make them into a wreath with red hots. I would make cookies with red hots. We would have hot cocoa to drink and Kool-Aid. I would make presents with rice crispies.

If I was in charge of making Thanksgiving dinner I would serve twenty turkey shaped cookies and it would take 30 minutes in the oven for all twenty cookies. I would go buy one turkey and bake it for 30 minutes. I would get one kind of bread – white bread. At the table would be a red table cloth and three candles lit.

Once a kid named Ayden baked turkey. When the family was going to eat, it came to life and said “Don’t eat me.” So after that the turkey got up and ran like crazy and broke all the dishes and valuable stuff. A few weeks later the turkey died.

If I were to serve a holiday dinner I would put a nice big snowflake table on a big wooden table. Then I would go to the kitchen and make mashed potatoes, gravy, chicken or turkey, creamy corn, buttered bread, apple crisp, pumpkin pie, and chocolate cake with rainbow sprinkles on the top. After I made all of the food I would invite all of my grandpas, grandmas, cousins, aunts, uncles, and maybe my friends and definitely my mom and dad because if I don’t they will probably be mad if I invite all of my family but not them. So definitely them.
