The Formal Place Setting. The formal place setting is used at home for a meal of more than three courses, such as a dinner party or a holiday meal. It's simply the informal place setting taken to the next level, adding glassware, dishes and utensils for the foods and beverages served with the additional courses.
Most Holiday meals have been shared, enjoyed and eaten. People fortunate enough to have family, or friends have gathered, and many have recited the phrase…”Eat, Drink and be Merry!” Food Kitchens having sent out their donation requests, fed the poor and homeless, those lucky enough to find a place at the table, and more so those who did not remain invisible during the Holiday Season, seeking refuge and nutrition. Super Markets requested adding an extra few dollars to your final receipt, sending on the additional amount as a gift toward feeding the ever-growing population of the HUNGRY! The local TV newscasts, have pretended that the athletes and the folks in the entertainment industry, who volunteered a few hours of their time to serve or cook the food are real hero’s, and reporters, found the right heartwarming stories, by placing a microphone in front of a kid finally eating a hardy meal, or a camera panning the poor souls who at least at Christmas time, have some food. If you denote a bit of sarcasm from what should be considered a super-duper event, you are CORRECT! Feeding people, on Christmas and Easter does not and will not replace, people, (you know human beings, believe it or not just like you and me,) from living a full life year-round, in a nation able to provide the wealthiest with even more wealth, while deciding that the poor, deserve their due in life…because you KNOW they are poor!
The Mega-Church Pastors making seven-figure salaries, building shrines to the Heavens, the CEO’s making seven-figure salaries, even continuing to remain wealthy when they fuck up, having that Golden Parachute, then politicians receiving perks from Lobbyists, hiding their money in banks where money is laundered, criminals and treasons like the Kushner’s and Trumps, Pence’s, DeVos’s Ross’s all hidden in their winter getaway’s, as they get away with robbing the poor…they have enough food, and nutrition, they don’t need Food Kitchens, Food Banks. And to add insult to even more inhumane injury, the Republican’s supported by the Evangelicals, enabled by the Corporations who have been deemed People, are passing laws to make it even MORE IMPOSSIBLE, for those not only below the Poverty Line but actually living in Poverty, or just above Poverty (you know the adults working two to three jobs just to exist) have decided that to pay for the Tax Cuts, keeping the 1% voting Republican, to CUT the budgets of most food and health care programs. As the High and Mighty Evangelical American Taliban Pastors who find Trump the new Prophet shout, if you can’t pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, then Jesus is pissed, and if Jesus is pissed, no food for you!
It's no longer Christmas Time In the City…hear the bells, hear the bells…It is back to the normal of the HAVES and fuck the HAVE NOTs!
