After such a large holiday feast, there's lots of cleaning to do--leftovers to pack up and put away, trash to clean up, and plenty of dishes to do. Your garbage disposal (if you have one) will come in very handy today. But you can't just put anything down the garbage disposer. Overloading the garbage disposal, or putting things down it that shouldn't go down it, can cause plumbing disasters.
So, you should really know something about garbage disposals before you just dump everything down it. thisoldhouse.com posted a great article called "What Can and Can't Go Down a Garbage Disposer" with a video that explains everything you need to know about garbage disposals. The video explains the basic parts and how it works, and even how you can get it working again if something does go wrong.
