I think I may have invented a new holiday activity.  I call it cranberry sauce carving and it is lots of fun (even though I am not yet good at it.).  Basically, you empty a can of cranberry sauce onto a plate and you try to carve it into something.  My friend Jeffrey and I had our kids get together and give it a shot.  They loved it, and they made a mess, and they loved making a mess.  Also, it was inexpensive at about a buck a kid.
