Crabs for Christmas by David Deboy
I'm from Baltimore and I wanted to share with you one of our traditions. The song "Crabs for Christmas" by David Deboy is over 20 years old. But we sing it every year around our house. In Maryland we love Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs and we love this song around the Holidays!

They are at the top of my list with steamed shrimp. I could live on steamed crabs alone.

OH MY GOSH! They are the best food EVER! I miss them much. Especially with Old Bay and apple cider vinegar. YUM!

I love any kind of crab, but find these a lot of work. Work I am willing to do, mind you, but I prefer the big King and Queen crabs.

I love Dungeness Crab, but I don't much care for the others although I will eat Rock Crab and that spiny leg crab that shows up in Oriental Buffet restaurants around here. I might like Chesapeake Bay Crabs if I tried 'em, but gosh, I do prefer Dungeness hands down.

Sorry, crabs aren't a favorite at our house. Maybe my husband's allergies are partly to blame for that.

- Austin has a Spam-a-rama and Eyore's Birthday every year ... I think both of those might qualify in the silly category. (Loved that crabs for Christmas jingle!)
