Anyway - happy holidays!
Which is absolutely hilarious, considering there was actually a Saint Nicholas of Myra, upon which the Santa Claus myth is based.
Anywho...HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ALL!

Oh, man. Monster-sized bummer.
Stay well.

That really sucks. Best xmas gift for mom, though- DIDN'T bring Covid.

We have always gotten together on Christmas Eve so that the kids can go to the in-laws on Christmas Day. This year the in-laws all decided on Christmas Eve gatherings. So, we are going to try to get together at my daughter's house this evening. No meal, just snacks and gifts. We are bringing the puppy to liven things up.
Plans for tomorrow - leave me alone. That is all.

It’s Boxing Day. Feel free to celebrate by punching someone.
