We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
Merry Christmas Eve monkeys!
2 pans of toffee
2lbs of fudge
30 dozen (5 varieties of) cookies baked
COVID test completed and awaiting results I elected to be tested even though on day 8 since exposure with no symptoms (better safe than sorry).
Spiked the egg nog and an enjoying my Chinese takeout while watching a Christmas Story with the family.
talked to friend i have not talked to in about 27 years....from pics you would never know she had her face peeled for tumor removal in head 20 years ago...how she described it...
I made Knorr Vegetable Dip. With a huge amount of Veggies. Peeled and cleaned atleast 100 shrimps. Cocktail sauce out of a jar and I am good. A Bottle of Gran Vouvray set aside. I have Chicken Wings and Meatballs and Sauce in reserve incase Talia burns the Roast.
Xmas day here of course. We had Peking duck and gyoza for eve, and today is fillet steak, potatoes dauphinois, green beans and a red wine jus.
Got one of the last four bottles of Cabbage tree Pinot Noir (2013) in existence to go with. Opened already to breathe.
Mimosas for breakfast already.
Off to the park now for kites and rollerblade shenanigans.
@JBP it’s called resting. Have a great day everyone.
I ate a mixing bowl of vermicelli.
wife had pho. Dog did not get any.
Typically on Christmas Eve we get together with all my cousins on my dad’s side of the family, have a surprisingly competitive gift exchange and a lot of food. Not so this year. It is an odd Christmas. My wife hasn’t seen her family since (American) thanksgiving last year.
First Christmas for my wife without her dad. It was tough for her, I think it may have been her first ever not at home. I did my best to make a full meal with all the fixings, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, roast veggies, cranberries, gravy, bûche...
Frank a bottle of champagne on my own over the course of the day. Did zoom dinner with her brothers and their families. It was weird. But the kids were happy I guess.
Merry Christmas to ya'll... I hope it brings you lots of good and not too much (more) time with your families.
Skied with kids. Fun was had by all. Stopping for a snack with them is apparently the key to getting in longer days without the middle kid (in pink) melting down at end of day.
