I'm with you on that one... :)  If it fits, I wear it,
and don't worry about which side the buttons are.. :)

I go for the pecan first, but have to avoid the apple,
and also the mincemeat, because of my apple allergy.  I
like the berry pies, too, and peach or pear... but one
doesn't see them as often at the holidays...
 
I'm fortunate in that there are a number of people at
church that like, and bake, pecan pies regularly..  ;)
It was also my m-i-l's favorite, so we always made sure
there'd be at least a small one for the holidays for
us, if for no one else...  ;)

... I still have a full deck, I just shuffle slower now.
