Goose. Do a goose. Do your lamb, too, though, because so far as I've ever
been able to find, American stores are wildly proud of their geese and they
cost a small fortune (unless you know a hunter who got lucky; that's how I
got one, one year). If you do cook one, be advised they are very, very
greasy, sort of like duck, not dry like turkey at all. You have to keep
siphoning off the grease.

Oh, yeah, tell everyone to say Happy Christmas instead of Merry. It takes a
bit of practice.
