However, we must ruin Christmas and Easter and birthdays by wasting those holidays with them.

And I'll watch Emily Blunt wear anything, or nothing.

Watched Mary Poppins a couple nights ago. While I don't think the songs are as memorable as the original... I did enjoy the movie.

Watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and drinking rum and Pepsi this evening. Not a bad way to spend this lovely Tibb’s Eve.

Not bad! Good choice of movie.
Tonight I watched Incredibles 2. Hadn't seen it yet.


And Happy Birthday, Dan!

Happy Tipsy Eve everyone from a sunny New Brunswick

Do you fine gentlemen in New Brunswick refer to tonight (23rd) as Tibb’s Eve or is that a Newfoundland thing?

Not being a Gentleman, would you please let his gutter snipe know just what is Tipsy Eve?

 

[Cinderella's Fella]

Happy Birthday Dan!

Happy Birthday Dan!

Cheers fellas. Have a great Xmas Eve. I think this is one of the first years I haven’t been chopping and prepping, so this is cool.....

Not a bad way to start the day....

Chief Gutter Snipe...…..Tipsy Eve is a Newfoundland tradition held on Dec 23, you and your friends get together do some drinking and have a few laughs.
We held Tipsy eve at our house last night, about 30 people having a kitchen party. With 4 guitar, one piano and an accordion playing there was lots of merriment.

Not a bad way to start the day....

That's an awesome way to start the day

A little bit messy, hopefully. Have a good day mate

Happy Birthday Dan!

Thanks Darcy, all the best. I like that last note he works there.

Cheers Rob, all the best to you and yours. Big congrats on the DS and the graduation.

Morning, folks. Busy time, so I'll be brief.

You should apply for a job with the Airplane! team with gags like that. Hat tip.

Sorry you aren’t looking forward to family time. It’s not always easy. I visited my in laws today but I get along with them fairly well. Christmas Day will be with my parents, DW and my father don’t get along that well but we manage.

MIL gave son 2 cars. FIL gave son a house. Both give daughter (my wife) grief and nothing else. FIL paid for son's college. I paid for DW's college loans. Yeah, there are a lot of hard feelings still.

We (DW, DD6, DS16, Monster inlaw) stayed in the bubble at AoA, Lion King suite from Dec 8-15. QS Free Dining, so the food was stilling better then my days in the Marines. The choclate - hazelnut tart from Woody's in DHS was so amazing, it still makes my mouth water. We splurged one night at Whispering Canyon. Antics were held in check, due to carolers in the lobby. Most rides were like the old domino's 30 minutes or less.

We always stay in the Disney bubble. We are DVC at BWV, and have stayed at all the WDW DVC resorts except VGF. Never been to AoA, but the suites are nice.

Hey dads, been lurking for awhile. Just got back from my second trip last week. Thought I'd stop in and be more active in the forums this time around.

Welcome to our little clam bake

And hell week begins. Today is a day of baking and preparation, which I normally wouldn't mind, but it's outlaw visiting time. On Monday, I get two sets of outlaws with DW's continually fighting over the BIL for holiday time. Then, after 4 hours of round trip travel, we will go to Midnight Mass, return, sleep a while, get up and cook the turkey, and have another 4 hour round trip travel to my parents on Christmas day. I used to really like Christmas. Bah! Humbug. Get off my lawn!

Hang in their and try to enjoy the time with DW and the girls

Tomorrow is my birthday, so Mary Poppins in the morning (who doesn't want to see Emily Blunt in a corset, even if there's a dress over it) and late lunch, and then a few over for beers later in the evening before we do the whole Santa thing with the kids. Nice to see NORAD are still doing the tracker despite the shutdown.

Happy Birthday Dan! Hope you have a great day

Merry Christmas Randall and thanks for all you do for this band of misfit toys - cheers.

Wanted to make sure to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas hoping all enjoy som family time, sorry about your situation Norm. Looking forward to having everyone back home together for a few days. AI lol th best to you guys and your families!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

So, one down and two to go. This one was the most tolerable, as DW's dad has Christmas at his niece's house. His niece married well, and there is a large house, free booze, and lots of space to mingle and talk with others.

And, this little bit of fun happened.



The niece (DW's cousin & practical sister) gives gifts to everyone, on top of the free booze and food. She even hires in Santa and Mrs Claus for pictures with any of the children/ grandchildren there. Yeah, they are loaded. Because she grew up poor, she always goes over the top at Christmas. Most everyone gets many gifts, but since I'm an in law, I only get one gift, which suits me fine, since it is a bottle of booze. This year, it was a bottle of Knob Creek bourbon.

Then, all the adults play dirty santa. We don't do a white elephant, every gift needs to be around $20 and is generally a nice gift for either gender. Normally, I take a bottle of booze myself, and then hope to win it back.

Since my back had been hurting, I put 3 of my daughter's last remaining basketball fundraiser candles in a liquor bag as my gift, which added up to $30. But hey, who wants candles. In a glorious victory, the before mentioned BIL brought the other Knob Creek bourbon. I won that in Dirty Santa, and he took home my bag of candles. He was

The bread in front is my loaf of challah bread, which I braid into a round. My youngest has started calling it restaurant bread since it looks and tastes good. That will be one for tonight and one for tomorrow. Now, I get to go to MIL for another party with the same bunch. Sure, this one is just her two kids and grandkids in a very small, cramped, super hot tiny space. And, while a bottle of bourbon fails in comparison to two cars, college education, and a house, I will continue reveling in my victory satisfaction, even if for just a few more hours.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all, an alcohol induced, outlaw-free night.

Merry Christmas to all my brothers from another mother. I hope you it wherever you may be.
