Hope everyone is having a nice Sunday evening. For those that observe the Holiday,
Have a Merry Christmas
Going to boyfriends moms for birthday pizza.
It’s 8.15am Christmas MORNING here. Time to start cookin’ for the lunchtime feast.
Bon yule to all.
Mele Kalikimaka!
Christmas Adam yesterday was marathon “Running around like a chicken with head cut off” madness. Christmas Eve is taking a breather and ordering Chinese food from Chef Zhao.
Merry Christmas Eve.
I am very sick. COVID with some asthma thrown in for fun. We did let Wee Weasel open a couple presents because neither of us are great company right now. He had a little event where he could pick out our presents at school and he got me a $5 “Mom” necklace. I shall wear it with pride.
The tree really does look lovely. I think we’re just going to have to spread his Christmas presents out over several days, but Wee Weasel really doesn’t seem to mind. He is totally engrossed in an invisible ink project right now.
You know, it is what it is. I have two very important people with me no matter how I feel.
Best wishes to all of you.
Merry Christmas!
Went to my daughter’s home and met up with all the other kids and grandkids there. My ex-wife was also there. We ignored each other. Good to see them all together again. Almost made it home before the skies opened up, so drove the last ten miles in pouring rain. Could hardly see the lane markings. Now we’re going to settle in for A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott, nosh on some cookies and relax.
Christmas eve pizza here. The dogs are being very cute. I’m trying to hold on to my last shreds of sanity after 12 weeks with a knee injury. Tomorrow will be a good hike with the doggos then killer mac n cheese with veggies and a good bottle of shiraz. Merry Christmas/Happy Hols/Happy Hannukah!
The tourtière is in the oven.
The Christmas tree is the only light in our living room.
The Cub has fallen asleep with his favourite cat on the chesterfield.
I’ve discovered that Carols from Kings are available on BritBox.
Those soaring voices…
Once in Royal David’s City…
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.
Have a merry!
Love you guys.
back at you kid. Have fun.
I shut off the central gas heat after lunch.
I have a small fire going. I used kindling and a couple small logs. It’s rainy and 50 degrees. There’s a chill in the air that makes a fire worthwhile.
Looks nice with the tree and presents.
Looking forward to seeing family tomorrow.
Today was very nice. We attended Church services this morning. It doesn’t work out on Christmas eve very often.
Merry Christmas everyone
I’ve been here 14 years and I think of many of you as my extended friends now. Some consider me a nuisance. That reflects life too. We like some friends more than others. We never met and probably won’t. But usually I can confide here about things in life that I’m dealing with.
Not so extended.
And I’m the nuscience around here.
I’m that pesky little skeeter that won’t ever leave.
Merry Xmas, Acey
Merry Christmas eve all. New wife’s son & fiancée flew in from Chicago a couple days ago to stay with us for a week. Great fun. Wife’s daughter lives nearby and has 1 adopted and 6 foster children. Caring for the fosters is her fulltime paid job for a combined charity / government agency.
We spent all day at daughter’s brightening the lives of kids being rescued from various shitty situations. Ages 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 9. Some are siblings, some are not. All are our impromptu family. They are each as adorable as can be, and so starved for sensible adult attention.
We’ll all do the same on Xmas & the day after.
And yes, all of you who I term my “imaginary friends” in IRL are quite real and quite important to me. And have been for decades.
Merry Christmas to all, and especially to the ill and afflicted. Like the narrator in the original Grinch story said, it isn’t about carols & feasts, nor presents nor beasts. It’s about the fellowship you feel: for strangers, neighbors, and family alike.
Thanks Beck.
I opened a German pilsner beer in your honor. 
Goes down smooth before bedtime.
Have as wonderful a couple of days as possible, everyone! Dinner with in-laws today.
Christmas Day is in our grasp,
So long as we have hands to clasp.
Have a great one, everybody. May it be full of happiness for you and yours!
We all have friends IRL that we think are sometimes nuisances (not aimed at you), but that we don’t want to give up and we want to talk to. Merry Christmas, Ace!
