“First you have to catch it. Then you peel all the skin off. Take it home. Clean it. Put it in a pot. Turn up the heat. Take the beak off. Then take off the gobbler. Put it on a plate. Chop it up and eat it!”
“Get a turkey first! Rub flour all over it. Then cook it. Dump sugar all over the turkey. Eat it!”
“You need to boil it and cook it. Mix it and add eggs. You’ll also need tomatoes and a leaf to add on top. That’s it!”
Gabriel G bi l “Use a pan. Catch the turkey! Put the salt in the pan with the turkey. Use pepper, flour, and sugar. Then we cook it. I don’t like turkey.”
“Well, I think you want to use chicken. You could roast it and cook it. Then put some seasoning on it like salt and pepper. And then put some mustard on there!”

Claire Claire Sloane loane “I think you should catch a turkey. Then get lots of good stuff that you would put inside the turkey like herbs and stuff that goes with Thanksgiving. Then we sew it up. Then eat it for dinner!”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year … time for Press Publications’ Holiday Lights Contest, that is. Press Publications is eager to see everyone’s displays. The second annual contest will kick off the week of Dec. 22 and run through Dec. 31. With COVID-19 still hanging around this holiday season, many families are looking to get out and about to find a way to celebrate. “Everybody is at a different point in their COVID journey, and people have different levels of concern, so this activity is open to most people,” said Publisher Carter Johnson. Last year’s holiday lights contest was created out of a pandemic year, and while this year may feel a bit different with the return of holiday concerts, plays and family events—all thanks to increased vaccinations—the holiday lights still offer a feeling of hope for the future. “The lights have different meanings to different people,” Johnson noted. Whether it’s to celebrate the birth of Christ or to cope with the gradual onset of the shortest days of the year, an opportunity to view holiday lights can SEE HOLIDAY LIGHTS CONTEST, PAGE 12
