Doesn't make a lot of sense, does it?

I know it's different in the northeast than it is in the midwest where I live, but we do turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce (if you like it, we always skip it), green bean casserole (green beans mixed with cream of mushroom soup and covered with those little onion string things) and fresh baked rolls. For dessert (desert? the meal after dinner, I always forget which way it's spelled) we have pumpkin, apple and pecan pie, usually.
