Nah.....I was never into the "Christmas cake."

Here's a quetion for you regarding Christmas food:

Why is it that the department store like Daie, etc. go crazy with the
barbeque chicken or whole chicken (cooked or raw) only this time of
year?  I stopped by several stores recenty and all I saw was chicken,
chicken, chicken.  Would be nice if they sold whole chickens year
round.  Then, I wouldn't have to cook so much. LOL
