What's your Christmas activity?

Right now I am cooking turkey and andouille gumbo and cream corn. Not bad. Got the turkey all injected up in the fridge. I'll get up at 0400 and stick it in the oven, the jump back in the fart sack. Later on in the morning, I'll load up and head over to Mom's house to get ready for the influx of family for the annual feast. We make Poinsettia's for the Christmas drink, a mixture of champagne, cranberry juice, and Cointreau. After chowing down, we'll exchange gifts and hang out. Gonna bring some cigars too so some of the couzans and I can burn a few on the back porch.

It's supposed to be in the mid to upper 70s during the day tomorrow, with extra humidity in the air. Not exactly Christmassy weather, but last year the heat was into the upper 80s with rain.

What are y'all doing?

 

Family and food in a nut shell.

Merry Christmas to all.

It's in the 30s here, but compared to last week, it feels more comfortable. Not warm, but comfy enough.

Christmas Eve tends to be rowdy, with more liquor consumed than food. I don't drink, so I get a front row seat to some pretty interesting stuff!

Christmas Day is much quieter. That's probably a good thing.

 

Merry Christmas!

Exactly like this.

 

Familly and food, familly first, well when I see some of the kids devour, I'm not so sure.

 

It's going to be in the mid-50s temperature-wise, with rain predicted for the Phoenix area. We're going out for breakfast, opening presents, then church. Then a nice family dinner.

Merry Christmas.

 

We're just about to walk over to friends' whose turn it is to prepare Christmas Dinner this year.

My Wife has had to almost physically pull me from the armchair where I've been slumped with my new copy of Schneider's 'Tigers in Combat Vol. III'...........................

 

Just took me an hour to set up a pirate ship for the little guy.

Soon off to the annual Magellan like trek to see all the families.

Happy Holidays to you all.

 

Bed. Absolutely choked with the flu.

 

The exact same! Merry Christmas! Got Ken Burns "The War" so I know how I'll be spending some of my day tomorrow!

 

Church and now watching Babes in Toy Land while smelling a turkey roasting and drinking Sam Adams

 

Presents, food, naps, already smoked a turkey and chicken. Made homemade BBQ sauce, cole slaw, baked beans, and a pound cake yesterday. Gonna relax with family. About to watch some old WWII flicks. Tonight, bonfire and adult beverages. Y'all come!

 

Whole family at our house and wading through wrapping paper keeping the dogs including a St Bernard (wearing a lions mane) away from the food. Tripping over Lego building maniacs and trying to avoid getting full make-up done by a 10 year old. Slowly drinking my way through a bottle of Cave while cooking and serving the dinner then more food and drink and chaos til bedtime. Age ranges from 6 to 89. Love it!

 

Gordon, sorry to hear about the flu. I hear a shot of 25 year old single malt with honey in it will knock it right out,. well maybe several shots.

Very quiet Christmas here, Just Jeannie and myself, daughter coming in a couple of weeks. But ate well, walked the dogs in 75 degree sunny weather and managed to get some work done, the Grinch in me, but have a deadline looming

Hope the New year is good to all of us.

Cheers,
Gaines

 

Tried it, mate. Must be building up an immunity.

 

The liberals are aghast....
