"At the Christmas dinner, turkeys drowned in butter, stuffed with rich filling and intoxicated with truffles, capons and quails, geese and ducks, beef and lamb will be sacrificed. Spices and apricots will take their place in pies and sweets. And while the wine will flow abundantly, the music will be in the right tone for the youth to dance and sing with passion and enthusiasm, while the elderly will sit by the fireplace."
