Well, uh... we used to do this kinda thing all th' time. Actually, most our celebrations were an excuse for people t' get together an' bring too much food. [ A warm, fond smile at the memory. ] We'd have potlucks almost every day durin' harvest time. People'd bring food and we'd barbecue well into night... sometimes we'd stay out straight 'til mornin' an' just pick up work again at sun-up.
