The real lesson? You don’t have to follow the rules. Christmas dinner can be whatever you want. If KFC makes you happy, eat it. If strawberry shortcake sounds better than yule log, go for it.
So next time you’re planning a holiday meal, think of Japan. Order a bucket of chicken. Grab some potato salad. Find a strawberry cake. You’ll be joining a global party of joyful weirdos.
And that’s the best kind of tradition. Fun, unexpected, and absolutely delicious. Merry Christmas, Colonel style!
