Love it while you can. We did the whole present thing last night because of the wife is self isolating due to Covid exposure. This morning has been just me cooking a breakfast casserole, and brief glimpses of my wife and son. I'm going to smoke a ham for her brother's family and her dad, but she is staying home. Just been a low key Christmas, and I really miss playing Santa and excited little ones. We did give the dog a stocking with 4 stuffed chew toys, so at least he is excited.

Lol. I fixed that, but we did used have a late night tradition after playing Santa for me and the missus. So, I missed playing Satan as well. :devil:

Yes, love/hate the 4am wake-ups. This is the last Christmas with a minor in our immediate family. We got up, made/ate breakfast and then opened presents that we all mostly knew what they were. I did surprise Mack with a limited edition 75th anniversary Scottie Barnes Raptors jersey she thought we couldn't find anywhere online. Caitlin got a bunch of school stuff between graduation last week and Christmas today in preparation for her first job. Different feel to the last few Christmases, that's for sure.

TMI TMI! :)

[SirFozzie]

didn't get to open gifts or meet up with family, but it wasn't due to illness, it was due to weather (freezing rain, some places had a half inch of ice)

[Coffee Warlord]

Very culinary theme for me this year.

I got a top-end chef's knife from my dad, and new cookware from my wife (along with some artisan oils).

Merry Christmas! I hope that everyone had a great day today.

[Edward64]

I figure we can reuse this for 2022.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year everyone.

Merry Christmas. Just finished watching "Scrooged" with my wife and son. He had never watched it, which made me feel like I might have failed as a father. Then I discovered he hadn't watched "Groundhog Day", and it removed all doubt. Now we are watching "Groundhog Day."

Now we are watching "Groundhog Day."

And then you can watch it again . . . and again . . .

(One of my all-time favorites)

Merry Christmas FOFC

Christmas themed "dad joke" to celebrate the day - Everybody told me to put my turkey in the freezer to keep it fresh, but that's nonsense. Put it in and when I checked 5 hours later it was dead.

[NobodyHere]

Merry Xmas everyone. Stay safe from Robot Santa.

[Fidatelo]

Merry Xmas to all!

[GrantDawg]

Now I'm playing Midnight Suns and watching The Sopranos, like the Christmas of yore.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Merry Christmas, fellas!

Merry Christmas bitches

[Edward64]

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone.

Hope you get a chance to spend time with family & friends.



Get plenty of rest & get ready ... something tells me that 2024 is going to be an exciting year!

I wish I had a game I am into this break. I have picked up a couple recently but nothing is really grabbing me.

[GrantDawg]

dola: I did smoke a Prime Rib yesterday and took it to my daughters for a holiday meal. It was perfection.

[Thomkal]

Merry Xmas to my FOFC family!


Repeating myself for another year! Happy Holidays!

Got my first present from my wife. It is a Navage nasal system. I always have sinus problems but since Covid, I haven't been able to breathe through my nose. I am producing mucus at a crazy rate. Just used it for the first time, and my nose was so closed that only about a quarter of the salt solution got sucked out. It was pooling at the back of my throat, and what I spit out was red, black, and nasty. Right now I'm breathing out of my nose for the first time in a long time.
Merry Christmas! I wanted to give you all a bloody mucus story.

It's funny how little Christmas traditions persevere.

My girlfriend and I were opening our parents' stockings they mailed to us, and our own stockings we put together for each other. Her family - wraps everything individually that goes in the stocking - including tiny bags of shortbread and other snacks, it's the way it's always been. My family - it all just just gets stuffed in the stocking without wrapping, it's the way it's always been.

We still do what we do, distinctly from each other, probably because of what her Danish great grandparents did 100 years ago in the Midwest, and what my Estonian great grandparents did 100 years ago in the northeast. And maybe further back than that, but our collective parents remember back close to 80 years as it is.

[JPhillips]

My wife's family does every gift individually while everyone watches. y family distributes all the gifts and everyone opens at the same time.

[stevew]

just once I'd like to leave a family event without a car full of leftovers. like I'm totally going to trash this stuff when I get home.

[Edward64]

Son knows I'm a 300z fan. So several Christmas ago, he got me

This year, he added the Z to the collection

give it to homeless

[GrantDawg]

Navage rules.
I'm begining to be afraid my problem is beyond it. I can't get it to suck anything out, and after the first couple of times working great cleaning things out, it has just barely moved the needle the last couple of times. I think my nasal cavities have just finally given up the ghost.

[Izulde]

Was a weird Christmas. First time I've skipped watching my usual holiday movies - just wasn't in the mood for them this year. I also skipped putting up a tree - moving soon and I just don't want the hassle.

On the flip side, I got enough Amazon gift cards to buy Viticulture, which I turned out to hate playing solo but I suspect will be fun multiplayer so being kept it is. A couple Starbucks gift cards and a tumbler which was greatly appreciated since I lost my other one. A considerable amount of candy and I've cookies coming in, apparently, plus maybe one other gift. Oh, and someone got me Final Girl with North Pole Nightmare expansion. Also got gifted the first book in the Enola Holmes series. And I also went out to brunch with friends.

All in all, despite skipping my longest-running traditions, it turned out to be the best Christmas I've had in 4-5 years. I do have to delay the present buying and sending out until house close, but that's okay - I'm just considering it extended holidays.

[Critch]

Pretty quite christmas for the presents, we were really disorganized this year, books and chocolates mainly. But I've made up for it by buying myself a Navage.

Just been delivered, all clean, pristine and unused.

[sovereignstar v2]

Lol I just had one delivered an hour ago as well

[GrantDawg]

I want my commission check.

[Ksyrup]

I'm sure Navage works well, but I hate the way the guy on the commercial says Navaaaage like he's in a Grey Coupon commercial.
