WOO HOO!!! (pics please...)














Aw, nice!!! That is a special tree to be remembered through the years!

Sure!

Oh how gorgeous!!!! Awesome pic; you have put me into a festive mood with this! Especially love the Christmasy tablecloth too; that is so beautiful and just perfect to set the scene!!! Awesome, Mirocu!!! And Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Are you tired of hearing the same old holiday songs? (advert)

Ah Christmas and what no better way of celebrating it then hearing that my favorite Gaming Store (GameStop) is closing shop. Life is sucking everyday
-_- .

Today we decorated our Christmas tree.

Khajiit’s 2019 Christmas Tree

Just your local one or overall?

I don't even have a local gaming store.

NO!!!!!!!!


Gaaaaaah...urgh....









Holy Cow! Gorgeous decorating of the tree, and your new house's sunroom looks Awesome!

Thank you mALX.

That is a pretty tree.

over here they don't do full lush trees and it makes me a little sad.

Really? I’m quite surprised that they would bother with “Charlie Brown trees”.

Bloody 'ell! Though the day is young, I've already had an unexpected 'adventure.' Not a pleasant one, but in the end things aren't as bad as they might be...so far. No time to go into detail, as I've another, planned adventure to prepare for. When it rains it pours, as they say. Might post details later on, once the active day is behind me.

Good luck! sounds like you'll need it, Decrepit!

And yeah Khajiit, it's messed up. Husband doesn't like full lush trees too. Says they're too busy.

Whatta nice tree! And an angel at the top!

I hope Khajiit doesn't plan on jumping up in that tree like our feline does?

Hang in there D!


I’ve always felt that the fuller tree is a symbol of the past year’s prosperity and the hope of a prosperous new year. I guess it’s just a case of different cultures having greatly differing aesthetic preferences. Quite interesting really.


Thanks ‘Rocu!

And that’s racist!

It's catcist and I stand by it

GAAAAAAH!!! Now I'm curious/worried what the adventure was!!!





Ours do that too, lol.

Lol.

Got this Soldier 76 Nerf Gun for an early Christmas gift. Also its the most heaviest Nerf Gun I own.

Ooh! Awesome AT-ATs in the background!

I love those AT-ATs though that smaller one is the Rogue One AT-ACT (All Terrain Armored Cargo Transport). It has some interesting features but I prefer to keep it as a showpiece.

HOLY COW!!!!!!!

Yay, Christmas trees! We finally got the kitchen repairs finished (mostly) yesterday. I'm so ready to go get our tree.

Get it!

It is pouring down rain today, so if we get it after my daughter comes home from work we will have to let it dry on the porch. I am fully prepared to do that!!

WOO HOO !!!!! Thank goodness it will be done for this Holiday! I was hoping it would be done before Christmas for you & the peripheral Grits's!

It's a little bit more bigger and heavier then my Minigun. But it looks OH SO COOL! To bad it doesn't shoot Nerf bombs or missiles or even three Mega or regular nerf darts would be neat. But its awesome just as it is .

What does it shoot?

Nerf Rival Rounds, holds 30 in the hopper. Neat thing is the blaster top loads just like Soldier 76's in game rifle did .

I see that being as much fun as Paint Ball if you have a good place to play it and friends with similar weapons, lol. (and A LOT cleaner than Paint Ball for your laundry, lol).

Nerf Rival are suppose to be the top tier in nerf guns as their rounds travel further and are more accurate then the dart blasters. As for these Overwatch guns they're only McCree's Revolver which shoot one round, D'va shoot three, Reapers which hold 8 for both blasters and Soldier 76's blaster hold 30 and is the only blaster in the Overwatch Ner Series that's fully automatic. The others are pump style.

I hope everyone has their Christmas trees in order!

Our tree is up; but every time we put decorations on it; the cats take them down; break them; and spread the pieces all over the living room. Our tinsel garland is completely demolished; I found one of the brass bells with red bows in the cat's bed. All the little ornament sized wooden soldiers are now headless. Every ball ornament was smashed and had to be vacuumed up. The soft cloth ones have become "mice" that they "kill" and place on our beds (accompanied by loud yowling to let everyone know which cat the "gift" was from). I am pretty sure the younger one has chewed through the wires for the Christmas lights; thank goodness they weren't plugged in at the time.

And no amount of squirting them with squirt bottles of water or lemon juice or clapping hands and saying "NO!" seems to stop them;

So our Christmas tree this year is looking almost completely naked; unless you count the mess of broken ornaments in a big circle on the floor around it;

I thought about spraying the tree with that "Kitty No-No" stuff; but was afraid it might make it flammable tree with a now sparking string of lights on it, lol.

My Christmas tree is safe as I have no cat. My parents' tree however...


Well, our cat mostly likes laying down under the tree on the matt as she's a bit on the heavy side to climb it

My son's bigger cat is really too heavy to climb it now too; but he chases the little one up into it going at super sonic speeds and then tries to paw at the little one through the branches. The little kitten knows the big one can't get to it and drops Ornament bombs down on the bigger cat. All in all, those two cats have made my house a disaster zone, lol.

<sighs> I've done nothing to prepare for Xmas. Too darn tired all the time. For no reason other than being decrepit. All I need do is compose and post Xmas letters (or cards) to four people, and buy a present or two for my brother. Can't drum up the mental energy or enthusiasm to do so.

Eh I prefer the Scrooge route of celebrating Christmas.

Khajiit feels you should probably rewatch that movie. Heck, this one watches it (or some form of it) once every year! Big fan of the Christmas Future segments.

I think I have George C. Scott's version of A Christmas Carol somewhere. Might be worth watching this Christmas on my laptop since my Xbox is digital only.

Aw, I hope you get feeling better soon!

We have no tree because wee have two cats. Cats like high places. Trees are high.

It's so funny, I looked back at the beginning of this thread three years ago and I posted that we were making straight nacatamales, instead of fusing them with pasteles.

Well, they wound up fused. My dad apparently can't help himself. 🤦🏽‍♀️ He prefers pasteles.

But this year! We are doing plain and simple nacatamales. Like, for sure for sure.

We have our tree and honestly, I've never had any trouble with the cats. The worst they do is try to drink the water, but we cover it so they can't get to it.

Christmas Town, however....

The cat just proclaimed itself ruler of Christmas Town; I love it!


"And for my first decree...!"

Love how your cat is just going to town!

“I banish you off the edge of the world!” *slaps figurine over the edge*

JACKI !!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!

Lol on the cat; that is hilarious!

Oh - on drinking the Christmas Tree water = use "Sprite" or "7 Up" regular soda (not diet) instead of water to feed the tree. It makes the needles really green; and is citrus flavored so pets avoid it.

Merry Christmas Eve!
