    False, but that sounds very geeky, Hune.

    I had my family get together... it lastest almost an hour. Woo.

    No, I haven't been to Alaska, but I want to go!

    Hurrah for ham biscuits, they are the best.

    We are not having a formal meal on Christmas so True. Wednesday we bring my MIL home and make her seafood chowder for Christmas Eve before church and that is always awesome. After that the meals are pretty much buffet style- lots of people.

    The next person is going to blast out her baking tomorrow.

    YES! I am, baking only 2 different cookies and a loaf of bread. You get your baking done Stormy?

  • marejo

    yep, I do but they don't come every month.  My son and daughter in law always give me a subscription to Taste Of Home magazine as part of my Christmas gift and I subscribe to Country Sampler.  I love both of those magazines.

    The enxt person is visiting children for the holiday.  I am, but they are single young women and never home.  I am stuck in the house watching the little dog and wondering why I came before christmas eve.

    Next person knows how to paint or do something artistic

  • jerseymaria
    jerseymaria Member Posts: 70

    i don't paint, don't sing (god forbid) and don't dance.  i used to do cake decorating both for family and to sell.  so i guess that was creative.  i won't tell you about the cake i made for a dear friends 40th bd party once.

    the next person has finished all christmas everything and has nothing to do tomorrow but relax and enjoy (i wish that person was me, lol).

  • WellWater
    WellWater Member Posts: 4,524

    False on being finished with everything Christmas - I have to brave the cold and next snow and ice storm coming in today to make a few trips between work assignments.  Ah well, winter in the midwest.

    I get Vanity Fair every month but it's such a huge magazine that I rarely get to all the articles I want to read so I don't subscribe to anything else.

    The next person will be trying some new recipes for Christmas this year.  No one offered up a tried and true bread pudding recipe so I'll pull one offline and hope for the best!!!

    Some are just putting their trees up, and here I am thinking about taking mine down like Christmas Day!!! I'm so ready to get things back to "normal" ---whever that is (lol)

  • faithandfifty
    faithandfifty Member Posts: 4,424

    True-ish. I wear adorned sweaters, with scarf-esque dressing up nonsense. Today on my sweater was a super crocheted collar, further adorned with buttons and ribbons and ric-rac. A skirt cut on the bias with three layers of WIDE ruffles and brand new polka-dot leggins' I found at the dollar store, while looking for stocking stuffers!!!

    True. Hoping, hoping, hoping. The freezing rain has started here -- we still have power.

    Christmas about five years ago, we were without power from Dec. 24th for almost a week. We slept on my husband's office floor on an inflatable mattress (as his building had power the whole time.) It was an unusual holiday. There was no church anywhere in town. Very unusual.

    wellwater, I bet it is beautiful, we have talked of taking a cruise to Alaska, we belong to a vacation travel club so we can do pretty cheap.

    The propane tank was leaking and had to be fixed and a new regulator put on, to me that is a major appliance
