To grandmother’s house we go …

That song we sung as kids in school. And then there’s the hymn by Henry Alford, sung to the tune St. George’s Windsor by George Job Elvey:

♫  Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest home!
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin;
G~d, our Maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied;
Come to G~d's own temple, come;
Raise the song of harvest home!

Let us try to anticipate the coming of the Prince of Peace, in spite of our timeline now being thoroughly fouled up — what with, after 2000 years, Herod “the Great” apparently having returned to rule Judea and resume the massacre of the innocents …

Could be a description of our politicians, but it’s actually a Louisiana culinary specialty:

Stuffing one critter inside another (inside yet another, sometimes) is called "engastration". This could be carried to extreme lengths, as in the "roast without equal" (actually a turn of the 19th century invention), which involved a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck[ling?], a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an ortolan bunting and a garden warbler.

Jean Auel's "ptarmigan stuffed with its own eggs" is a variant on the same idea, but whether it was an authentic Paleolithic dish I am not sure.

Otherwise the "stuffing" wouldn't fit. (It's really amazing, the lengths people would go to to have a fancy high-class meal!)

Bustards have rather long legs, adapted to running. They have only three toes, lacking the hind toe (hallux). The body is compact, carried in a rather horizontal position, and the neck stands erect, forward of the legs, in the manner of other tall running birds.
