What better way to get into the holiday spirit and a Picturesque Morning (train) Cab Ride Through Deep Snow (in Switzerland).

(And no, this isn't one of my self-created Transport Fever videos. It's the real deal.)

Thanks Decrepit! I enjoyed the linky - very similar to the trip I take when I go downtown Chicago via Metra! Only my trip takes an hour and a half (as compared to a 2 - 2.5 hour drive plus looking for parking), and not as scenic!

Merry belated Christmas, Chorrol fam!

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....

Nice tree, ‘Rocu ol’ boy!

Khajiit went to Ye Olde Christmas Tree Farm Saturday and got a tree. We picked out a nice 4-6ft tree (sorry, I’m not doing the conversions) with a good little shape to it, cut it down, and had the farm folks haul it up to the buildings to be netted and prepared for travel back to our house. Well, when we got the tree off the roof of hour vehicle, turns out they gave us a 9-10ft tree instead of the smaller one we picked out. We now have to trim it down just for it to be able to fit in the house! rollinglaugh.gif

Very festive and cozy looking! Thanks for sharing a pic of your 'rocu tree.

@Khajiit - Don't need conversion to know that 9-10ft is taller than 4-6ft biggrin.gif

Also; pic?!?!?! panic.gif

Lol, while true, the conversions would have given you a better idea of the height of this thing as compared to the one we picked out, if you weren’t familiar with ‘Murican measurements. I wasn’t sure if you were familiar with them or not.

And you’ll get a pic as soon as we get it in our sunroom and decorated.

Decrepit
I normally gift my Brother with a Barnes & Noble card. Can't do that this year as we no longer have a B&N (tornado). I reluctantly decided to once again feed the giant and buy him two books on Pro Wrestling history off Amazon. It should arrive in plenty of time for the Holiday. (Also ordered, for myself, a 2021 British Steam Train wall calendar and a two-unit set of CPAP mask wipes.) I'll likely bail on our traditional Xmas-day restaurant meal together, as I did this T-day. Hopefully, this time next year it'll be safer to dine out, though I'm not banking on it, the US being what it is.

It dawned on me out of the blue this morning that I needed to compose and snail-mail holiday letters to the three individuals I've sent them to for decades. I surprised myself by having the project completed and in the mailbox prior to lunch. I also need to send a card to my bro. I'll pick one up at Wally World Monday, if I remember. That'll be it for me this holiday, unless my bro and I rightly or wrongly decide to meet and exchange presents.
mirocu
I'm sad to hear there won't be the traditional eating out this Christmas kvleft.gif



As for what I'm doing; watching Christmas-related vids on youtube biggrin.gif
mirocu
I hope everyone is having a nice pre-Christmas time! I expect pics of Christmas trees and baking here; don't make me come over now and force you to post pics because... 2020!


The tree I got this year must be the best one I've had. Straight stem, a lot of branches and it's very nicely shaped. Usually I trim my trees so they get more coneshaped but I didn't have to do anything with this one smile.gif


Also; lussekatt!

ohmy.gif Aw, I look forward to your dinners with your brother so much every year! But yeah; please stay safe instead; and I will suffer along without the details of what you ate. As long as it is not a "Wowbutter Sandwich;" I will suffer in silence ... Hug_emoticon.gif (jk, staying safe is the most important thing where you are concerned).

They're kind of S shaped and usually have a couple raisins in them right in the swirl. Love the lil buggers.

Will get a pic of our sad little tree up in a minute. I think I need to move a few ornaments around but I cant be bothered doing it right now.

Well, can't find the telescope; I am wondering if I left it with my husband's stuff when I moved four years ago, verysad.gif

Plus: the college is not allowing the gathering on their observatory roof due to the Covid, sad.gif

I have two choices; and both require me getting a ride: Go up to the mountains or go to the top floor of a local hotel that has a glass roof. (get a ride because once again my car is broken down after spending nearly a thousand on repairing it, urgh). verysad.gif

So I'll probably be looking for your pics, Reaps.
