I've got four younger cousins, with her being the youngest. She used to get really upset when she didn't have me all to herself when I was geeking out in the past with one of the older cousins

Oh ok yes, this one see’s. Can you explain what is meant by “geeking out”?

Basically, talking about something really geeky and ignoring everyone else in the room because we were too interested in the discussion . In this instance it was Star Wars films

Oh ok gotcha!

Your family gatherings for Christmas sound like a blast! Really nice and close knit family you have, Thorny!

GAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!



I'm sorry, gois. But I just can't contain it anymore, I had to bring this thread up again! This Saturday I'm taking home the Christmas tree for 2018!

That’s ok! Good on you.

It's that special time of the year, cold weather and fresh roasted chipmunks. They taste great with honey bbq sauce.

It's cold and snowy indeed and I loves it

We will celebrate quite early this year with Brother and his Wife but then of course as usual on The Day™. All the regular food will be available and many, many gingerbread for Bird

How early is early?

Early is next Saturday, on the 8th. So I reckon when it's really Christmas it'll feel like I missed new years and the whole of 2019

Oh wait. . . aren't chipmunks like little squirrels?

Sneaks away from thread before mALX shows up.

Ground squirrels

Saturday is tree day for us, too! Except I only need to go downstairs for it.

My tree is already up and decorated,

Sa-WHEAT!

I need to go out in the wood with a saw


Oh, good. I'm not too early about this then

Yes, unfortunately ours is fake too. I love the real ones; but this was a cheap alternative that is the most convenient since we don't have a truck at our disposal anymore, lol.

The au natural tree is too much for my wife's allergies, otherwise we would have a real one.

Get another wife over Christmas?

Time for some Christmas tunes!

Taylor Swift - Last Christmas

Dropkick Murphys - The season's upon us

Lol, it’s from one extreme to the other. Khajiit did not listen to the first one because of who it is, but he always happy to listen to Dropkick!

It sure is

And again something different: Zzang Christmas with BESTie, the group that does not exist anymore.

Just finished wrapping up two gifts - one to Dad and one to Gammy. Dad gets a flashlight, a big LED one with a handle and a special battery. It's non-rechargeable but they have more batteries where I bought it and it's supposed to last long. Gammy gets a mini Christmas tree with lights to have on the table.


None of these were too expensive but still not crap. I hope

-Merry Christmas, one and all!!

Ordered my Brother a new TV for Xmas, his old one having gone belly-up following a recent electrical outage. It was an ancient 23-25" tube set. I couldn't afford to get him a super nice TV, but the one I settled on should be leagues better than what he had. It's 1080p 40" with few bells and whistles. Truth to tell, he could have made do with 720p as its only used for conventional cable TV and he can't afford shelling out extra for hi-res signals. But it seems to me 1080p is about as low as you want to go these days regardless of circumstances. I could have bought it through Wally World and had it sent to our local store, but am not sure it could be carted home in either of our cars so ordered it from the Evil Empire (Amazon). It is scheduled to arrive (his house) the 28th. As modern TVs go its quite cheap, but still far more than I've ever spent on an Xmas present.

As usual, my one special holiday observance is Xmas Day lunch with my brother at one of our two local oriental-centric all-you-can-eat buffets.

Merry Christmas eve all!

KC !!!! WOO HOO !!!



Merry Christmas Chorrol !!!













Hearing about your annual meal with your Brother has become part of my Christmas Traditions that I really look forward to!

We're going to JollyCon 1, activating defences and arming WMD's and AA guns. We'll see if that Jolly Fat F[beep] gets anywhere near me!

Merry Christmas and Happy Saturalia to all!

One of my traditions is listening to this cheerful song by Caramell, Buffy and Violet: Link

Merry American Christmas!!



Edit: Oops, sorry for obscuring your post there, Acadian. Please don't send your air force buddies on me...

Joyous Christmas to all Chorrolites, present and previous. May the spirit of the season reach every one of you.

No Christmas for anyone!!! I'm going full on DEFCON 1!!! Hacking into JSF/JTF Kinetic Strike Satellite and EFEC Orbital Laser. Mwahahahahahaha!!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Festivus, Chorrol!!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

My sister got me an NES Classic LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Nice!

Nice!

Awesome!

Yesterday morning my bro and I got together at his house to exchange gifts. Afterward we drove to and ate at one of two local oriental-centric all-you-can-eat buffets. As usual I overate outrageously. Started out with a plate of salad. As expected it was far yummier than the salads I make for myself at home despite most ingredients being the same. Next up, a plate of "oriental" cuisine. It was okay, nothing special. I continue to prefer the flavor at our other such establishment. Next up, a smaller plate of traditional American food; ham, fried potatoes, a small amount of dressing and Lima beans. Very good, except the dressing which was decidedly subpar. No dessert. Water to drink. I paid for both my and my brother's meals including tip.

That is the extent of my Holiday festivities for the year except to help my bro unpackage and set up his new TV when it arrives this Friday.

I love reading about your annual eatings out


And as usual; no dessert. You have to remember to make room for that, Decrepit!

Now that Christmas is over I can stand down from Operation Grinch and Operation Scrooge. Now we countdown to the day I turn 38...joy .

Geez, Khajiit thought this was supposed to be the Comfy Christmas/Winter thread. Seeing a lot of bitterness here. :\

Some people (namely me) don't really care about this time of the year. I haven't really celebrated Christmas since my sister moved away and my mother passed away and about half my family are either living in other states or no longer of this Earth.
I will say however my dad and I did enjoy our christmas dinner of Mcdonalds cheeseburgers and fries. Say what you want about that place but when you only have a few dollars that dollar menu is a blessing.

Wouldn't your church have things for you to take part of at Christmas, Reaper? I don't mean as a photographer or anything.

They probably do but I'm not interested in it .

Reading about you and your Brother's annual excursion to the Oriental restaurant is an annual treat for me; I really look forward to it! (I'm still waiting to hear how he liked the TV though!)

IT'S ALMOST DECEMBER, GUYS!


Gonna get my this Saturday

We are going to look for one today! First Christmas in Khajiit’s new home!

Khajiit MUST show a pic when his tree is up for sure!

Yay trees!

I need to line up my Christmas presents for pics when I'm done.

Coaster sets. Hats. Socks. Shopping bags.

Crochet all the things.
