Thinking of Christmas? 11 December 2008 Alex (0) Thinking of Christmas? Originally uploaded by alexbrn Goose, Cherry Hinton Hall duck pond. Well, the geese were a bit hissy so maybe they were thinking of Christmas. Everybody in our family prefers a goose to a turkey for Christmas lunch. The only downside is that the bird doesn't stretch that far. Or maybe that's an upside (turkey rissoles, anybody?)
