Merry Christmas!
I wonder if my kid will make it to midnight without getting Homer-strangled by me? If so, hope you all have a wonderful holiday or at least a peaceful day of not practicing Christmas. If not, someone please bail me out?

Even since I posted this he's started behaving adorably. Guess that text-to-Santa threat worked.

Merry Christmas y'all! Here's to a peaceful, chemically enhanced holiday. The grandkids are getting delicious rum balls if they get out of hand, which they will.
Nobody call CPS, I'm just kidding. Unless their parents say it's ok.

Happy Christmas all. Just waiting for everyone else to go to bed before I wrap the final few presents and stick them under the tree.
After that, I may wait up to see how Santa manages to come down the chimney of an electronic fireplace. Should be entertaining.

Happy Ho Ho's to all! Waiting for grandson to go to sleep so I can bring everything out and assemble those things that need assembling. Also drinking rum and coke because I am an adult and can do things like that.
Hope you all have a great New Year!

here's the story of The Best Christmas Ever.
My grndparents lived on a farm right at the angle of the intersection of Canada, North Dakota and Minnesota. I took 16 hours to drive there; at five years old, that was spitting distance to the North Pole. All of my cousins were there, all about the same age; all still believed in Santa, maybe 8-10 of us. On Christmas Eve, they let us sleep in the living room around the fire. The empty stockings were hung with care. Suddenly, there was a loud THUMP on the roof. Our parents exclaimed 'SANTA!" we donned boots and coats and ran out into the night. It was COLD, single digits, probably. It was windless with big snowflakes coming down. There were sleigh tracks on the roof and you could hear sleigh bells. We went back inside and all the stockings were stuffed and the presents were arranged around the tree. Two of my older cousins actually received Red Rider BB Guns. I got to shoot one the next day. Best Christmas Ever.

Your grandparents weren't far north from where I used to live. From your description I'm guessing they were in or near Pembina.

According to NORAD, Santa is headed for Nantucket right at this moment.

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm back down in Albuquerque for the next day or so to do the final cleanup of my old apartment and take the last half dozen boxes up north. I decided to do Christmas service down here tonight with my ABQ church and friends. They'll be glad to see me, and me them.
Tripler A nice, quiet Christmas this year.

Chaco, that's a great story!
I went to Christmas vigil tonight. The priest asked all of the children to sit at the altar while he told the legend of the poinsettia. Then he called Santa in to place the baby Jesus in the manger. I can't remember the last time I felt this happy after going to Mass.

Merry Christmas back atcha! I am baking Christmas pies. I got tired of having the mixer splash pumpkin pie batter on my shirt, so I tied a bath towel around my neck like a giant bib. I'm sure it looked pretty odd but it worked.

Mom's still sleeping. After she gets up we'll open gifts, eat breakfast (Polish kielbasa and homemade bread), and open the stocking stuffers. I plan to bake a chocolate layer cake this afternoon while the roast beef is cooking. I'm hoping for a wonderfully laid-back day.

I just exchanged gifts with the old man up in his room. He got a Galaxy tablet computer, and I got a genuine Daisy Red Ryder Carbine! Look out cans! Marshall Khampelf is on your trail.

Merry Christmas to all. We have just a few token presents to unwrap, but are in no hurry. The sun is shining and there's a turkey breast in the slow cooker.

Kid let us sleep until 6, so that was a huge Christmas present. Everything open by 7. He is making his way from gift to gift. I wish he was ready to build the Lego pirate ship because that's what *I* want to do, but he's playing with silly putty from Santa.

Boxing Day and we finally have a decent amount of snow. Time to shovel and try to get my fat cookie-fed ass to the gym.

My parents gave me what I wanted most for Christmas: a surprise! Mom has such severe anxiety about people not liking their gifts that she has me order my own. I knew I was getting a Kindle Fire HD, but I was thrilled to get a cute pink tool bag, too.

It'd certainly go with the pirate costume I wear to roller derby sometimes.
I found another Christmas Present! I bought new cookware back in September and the box has been in the corner of the dining room being a cat ambush spot, right as you come up the stair from the den. I never got around to sorting through the old stuff and it gradually became my 'house-wifey' Xmas present. So this morning, I replaced the cookware piece by piece, replacing the old but fine cookware back in the box as I unpacked it. It worked out perfectly. I have all new cookware and there is a complete set (with two slightly bent skillets) all boxed up waiting to be taken to Goodwill.

Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. We had a laid back day. Hung out with family, played some Rummikub, ate snacks and opened gifts. It was nice and relaxing.
