I don't know where you are, time zone wise, but it's Christmas here, and I just want to let you know that you all deserve a great Christmas day, and some good luck and happy tidings in the coming year. But that's for next week - for now, I just hope the next week can bring some nice food, nice social interactions, fun times, and all that.

Merry Christmas! I love you all!

Starting the Home Alones right now. For me, that's what triggers "It's Christmas!" in my brain.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Time for bed here - tomorrow there shall be feasting and loot and general merriment.

Merry Christmas to everyone! You guys are the gift that keeps on giving!

We’re holiday herpes?


We’re holiday herpes! Merry Christmas every one!

Started to snow here now, I don't think it will amount to too much but, hopefully, we get enough to have a white Christmas this year. Is actually the first it has so far all year as well so truly may be.

I need to share how much this scene makes me laugh every time. Especially Cliff's reaction to the accusation.

Working the overnight shift, so of course A Christmas Story is on loop on the lobby TV.

It just doesn’t feel like Christmas this year. I hope you are all having a great holiday but I’m just down.

Merry Christmas holiday whatever/wherever to y'all!

The spread (would normally post in dinner thread, but seems more appropriate here):

There's also a plate of cookies off to the left that I couldn't fit in the shot:
Oh boy. You don't know how hard it was to stay up long enough to get these pictures edited & uploaded. Oof.

Christmas for us is always a nice family dinner and not much else. This year, it was on Christmas Eve because everybody had other christmas obligations as well (I'm the only single one in the family so none of that for me), and it was the first time making the food all by myself, with dishes I cobbled together myself from various inspirations and other recipes. It was a resounding success, everybody loved it. So that's a good christmas for me.

It's an old picture, from before my wife and I moved to Virginia. But I like the picture and it's nice and Christmassy.

But yes, I plan on double-fisting some Lindemans Kriek Lambic about noontime

Merry Christmas everyone!

Mulled wine time!!!

Took a few pictures yesterday night:

Merry Christmas everyone!

Feliz Navidad a todos.

These are two words I never thought to put together, but now that I see them next to one another, I wonder how I managed to live this long without knowing such a thing could exist.

One thing you can always count on Christmas morning: Asian-owned donut shops being open

I'm had a pot of tea, and am on my second large mug of wine.
I also have a good quality bar of dark chocolate.

It is noon.

This pleases me.

Everyone talking about the weather in Colorado is on point for sure.

This was kind of a meh Christmas for me, tbh. With Dad starting his chemo and radiation treatments (no side effect yet, knock wood), and it just kinda sneaking up on me, I kinda pulled a Dan Vogelbach running the bases thing - slowed up as I limped around third but still made it home safely.

Of course, when your main Christmas present is the new heating/cooling system...

The snow yesterday didn't really amount to too much, just enough to say it was technically a white Christmas. Different story this morning though.



I guess even Santa is experiencing the shipping delays.
