      Re: Christmas 2023. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

      December 1st. 24 days until the big day.

      Last night the family went to our kids school's Christmas Festival. They were excited to see their friends. I had random people approach me because they knew who I was??? I have the worst time remembering names, for the life of me I have no idea how someone who has never met me, will know who I am because they know one of my sisters or close friends. I feel I look like every other Dad with a shaved head, except for my shoes. My shoe game is stupid.

      Well, we are finally into the Christmas Season...well for most people. We have a pretty festive weekend ahead of us. We are going to some Christmas farm tomorrow and then we will go and watch the Peterborough Santa Claus Parade. Then on Sunday we are going to my country club for our Christmas brunch. They kids will get to meet Santa and get a gift from him. We are going with our neighbours, it should be an awesome time.

      Have a great start to the holidays everyone.
      I am the lesson after the fall.

        Decided to check out "new" Christmas movies (aka movies I haven't seen).

        First one is A Christmas Carol,the 2009 movie with Jim Carrey as the voice of Scrooge.

        Obviously this story has been done to death over the decades (funny how even the Simpsons joked about it and that joke was from over 20 years ago), but I liked this telling of it in terms of a movie based on the original story and not just some show or movie mixing a version of this story in with their own characters.

          Christmas was once my favorite holiday by far and I went all out in so many ways. I pray that life will come back around and deliver those feelings again some day. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season with your families. I think it's best to cherish every memory and show gratefulness to every family member, even those that may seem ungrateful because we never know what someone may be going through.

            The Christmas season is flying by. 20 days until Christmas. Crazy fast.

            We had a great festive weekend at the towns Santa Claus parade and our country clubs festive brunch. We had a lot of fun and the kids got some time with Santa.

            I hope you are all getting through this season, as best you can. I know it can be a difficult time.

              I feel like no matter how many times I might see the same movies there's always things I didn't see/notice before.

              Like on Elf, never realized the store manager had a nametag for someone else (apparently they planned to give the role to someone else but they declined so the actor who took over just decided to wear it anyways).

              And Buddy's kid at the end of the movie he named after his mom.

                I did not know that. I really like that they named the baby after his Mom. Nice way to tie up the story.

                    Slick, your home looks like it should be in a Christmas magazine. I absolutely love it.

                      Finished watching Klaus.

                      Wasn't at all the kind of movie I was expecting.

                      Gave off major Tim Burton/Nightmare Before Christmas vibes.

                      Seems to get good reviews all over, but just didn't feel like my kind of Christmas movie.

                          Scheduled to be 50 degrees and raining here on Christmas. Weather doesn't make or break the holiday but something always feels off when it's not even cold out.

                            4 days until Christmas! When and how did this happen? I've been busy running around and helping my wife get things ready for the 24th and 25th. We've also been busy keeping the kids occupied. Last night we roasted marshmelllows in the backyard. Mary and Christian also built a snowman with the limited snow we have.

                            Speaking of snow...what in all that is Christmas is going on with the weather. At this point I just wishing for a sunny day on the 25th. I hate when it rains on Christmas Day.

                            I hope you are all enjoying the season. I am, but it is flying by.

                              The short version of this Christmas story....through my work I ended up connecting with someone who was the star of a tv show I watched growing up.

                              Basically, I helped them out big and hooked them up with a sentimental Christmas present that they really love and went out of their way to send a voicemail/audio reply (since we've only been exchanging DMs) to thank me for everything.

                              It's fun playing the role of Santa, in this case I was a complete stranger to them, I fully expected them to think I was just some spam account/bot or just some weird fan since I reached out to them at first out of nowhere, but they took it seriously and are over the moon excited about it.

                              Such a random encounter all around that easily could've just been ignored/ghosted (which is one reason I initially was hesitant to do it) but it has such a nice ending to it.

                              Not that I did it because I wanted anything out of it from them, but sounds like they're so excited about it that they might want to stay in touch in the future too about any other things like that I could help them out with.

                                Merry Christmas OS.

                                I could have put this next bit in the ''Took Too Long to Realize'' thread:
                                I always thought Christmas day was the 12th day of Christmas but, apparently it's like January 5th.
                                Talk about things nobody cares.

                                Screw Discord. Make OS Great Again.
