Jim Allen:
Wishing you all happy holidays and a wonderful new year.
I've started getting into things by watching some of my favourite holiday movies
Anyhow, ill be travelling, so I might not be around on the forums as much. Hope you all have good, safe and happy holidays.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, Jim. Safe Travels!
We've got family and friend events for the next 4 nights because everyone else wanted to host (instead of me) this year and they all waited until the last minute for any get-togethers. Though the family get-together will be unsettled (my youngest brother and his wife haven't spoken with Larry and I in a year and a half after they were dicks to me after our grandmother died), Christmas Day itself will be great over at my best friend's house (keeping our tradition since during the early covid years) grilling out steaks and drinking a LOT of mimosas.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all the rest of the members here! Stay safe, stay warm, and stay healthy :-*
thank god though this holiday season is nearly over. I am so done baking cookies. I did only 3 double batches this year but if i don't have to ice another cookie until next christmas that would be great.

Those cookies look fantastic. I'm impressed with people who have the patience for baking things and do it so well.

Sounds busy but fun. Hopefully, you and your brother can see eye to eye this year and prehaps mend the relationship.
Anyhow, hope you and Larry have a great time.

Party #1 is done and a success. (we caught the happy hour margaritas and had a few before everyone got there). Because of the covid years, the 6 of us haven't been together at the same time in 3 yrs; but we did set up a date in January for dinner and games.
Family/friends in Germany or just visiting? Will y'all be home at Christmas or still playing world travelers? :D
