    The ducks in the background, like the hapless turkeys at Thanksgiving, were priceless!

    Yes, they were! I went back and listened to it again because the first time I was watching with the family and between all the laughing in the house and the smart-ass remarks being thrown at the tv, ("Are those ducks? Loons? Goats? Is she giving a speech to the barnyard animals? Maybe she has assembled a manger-obvious Jesus complex and all...") I thought maybe I had missed the REASON she gave for quitting.

    But upon listening a 2nd and even 3rd time, she still never gave a reason that was comprehensible to anyone. I would have more luck understanding what the ducks were saying!
