A surprising surprise

The sharp butcher's knife was driving into a roasted... turkey. It was brown with gold cooked potatoes. His friends were invited to his party. It was brightly lighted and coloured. Then came a loud knock against the hard, dark yet oak wood. He rushed to the door without wasting a moment; flung the door open but then his jaw dropped to form an "O". A tear sprouted from his glassy eyes. As he started they jumped out and shouted "HAPPY NEW YEAR!". He thought it was hallucination. Still he glanced up to see his dear friends. It was a really exciting celebration for them.
