DAMN, SANTA PASSED US BY; I KNEW WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NICER.

CLOUDY AND COLD IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, THE CHEROKEES WANT SOME SUNSHINE FOR CHRISTMAS.

SINCE WE GOT CHRISTMAS DONE WITH THE ON 23D, I'M RATHER AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT TO DO TODAY. MAYBE I CAN SHOEHORN A NAP IN.

Ho-ho-ho! Santa left quite a haul here - I got a lot of stuff, including a cool Nespresso machine. Looking forward to trying that out. Meanwhile, I hope Rudolph was wearing a face mask, since it is a balmy -3.

Merry Christmas, Gurus!

Merry Christmas to all.

Woke up to a white Christmas. Now it can all melt and go away. I know it's not going to happen but it is a nice thought. I got a new pair of sweats and slippers. The mrs. got a pair of slippers.

The honey do list today is to go clean the driveway.

Thanks for the video.

Y ANO NUEVO :-)

LIFE GETS INTERESTING TO WATCH IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH. I WATCHED IN AMAZEMENT(THOUGH I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SURPRISED)AS DARLING WIFE TURNED INTO GRANDMA. NOW I SEE #1 DAUGHTER(AGE 50)INSINUATING HERSELF INTO THE ROLE OF CLAN MATRIARCH. AND DOING A FINE JOB OF IT, AS IS HER HABIT.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.

-3???!!
Don't guess you'd be peeing outside at that temp, you'll stick to yourself.
There's gifts under our tree too, the fam is due over here in about an hour, ham in the oven, sweet taters next followed by my special cheesy bread they request, desserts are piling up fast as well. I don't have a gift to unwrap but I saw to very old iron cream colored plant stands about 5 foot tall recently and woke up to those sitting on the patio. Also was given cash for a new phone so I can put that in bank and get phone ordered. We'll see what else is under the tree a bit later.
Merry Christmas!

.....did not get the Procharger set up I wanted......

...but did get a new Jedi robe and some swell underwear....... very nice!

Must keep eating......still a lot of food left.......

OMG the food that is left over here. Why this bunch feels the need to cook so much crap I have no idea. I had a whole bar full of cakes and pies and junk. There was the HUGE pan of dressing, most of which went with a cousin. Some is still here, a ham, a turkey, lil' smokies and beans, two breads, more than I can list. And, half of it is in the fridge.


But I got a cool toy :D

Merry Christmas Gurus!

Lots of presents for the kiddies and a few for myself, as well. The stars of the show are some new overhead led lights for the garage, a knife sharpening kit, and a Bluetooth soundbar for the garage.

Spent a lot of time with the family today so it was a good day.

Hope everyone had a joyful and fun filled day!

We upgraded lights here too. The new ones are three foot single-tube LEDs. Each 3-ft one replaces a fixture with four 4-ft fluorescents. And it’s brighter. They were only $15/ea from Homer
I got one that’s a 4-ft one with built in Bluetooth speakers for the up front garage

Let me be the last to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Had the usual mix of ages from infants to infirmed. Lots of food and drink and no one left hungry. I heard the thanks for hosting the party and I always tell the guests it's the people that make the party. They do a great job. Clean up is done with just a few finishing touches left for tomorrow. It takes a good amount of effort and a few $$$ to boot but it is a nice gathering of families and friends from both near and far.

Bluetooth, schmootooth - I am rocking a 37-year old Fisher receiver with some Radio Shack speakers in the garage ;)

Hey guys...we got up early and left early. Weren’t the first ones to the center, but almost...even having to drive the almost three hours. Ate lots of food and played cards, played with the grandkids, played dominoes ate more food played more games and then to top things off ate more food. It was a good day.

Time for bed.
