To the tune of on the first day of Christmas” …And a Partridge in a Pear Tree
That's a hard lick my man and here I was a little miffed at having to wait until tonight to open gifts. Son and his family are at his in laws and will be back soon. They alternate Thanksgiving & Christmas between us and his in laws every year. This year it was Thanksgiving here and Christmas there.
It's all good - she had to work as well, so it is what it is. My son threw the stuff in the garbage today - cheap lights and such aren't worth trying to untangle. I missed Thanksgiving over there as well, because I had gotten off work that morning, and they forgot to call me to wake me and my son up in time to dine, so all we got then was leftovers. They were pretty good, can't complain about free food. I'll plan for individual celebrations again in 2022, and not plan on any others.
It worries me.
I've never had a white Christmas. My mother did, in the 70's. I guess I'll never have a white Christmas here.Worst: A “White Christmas” - I appreciate the romanticism of having snow at Christmas, and the fact is we need it; we’ve been in a drought here for too long. But the snow made the 30 mile drive to our daughter’s house on Christmas day kinda dangerous.
Best: Seeing our daughter’s face light up when she unwrapped the new concealed carry purse her husband gave her for Christmas.
I would have probably jumped and hit my head on the roof if I opened a box with that in it. Man, my wife is slacking big time. All she has heard about this year is trap, shells, over unders, etc..... to be fair I expressed quite a few times that I was perfectly pleased with my 870TB for the time being but I go back and fourth on it. I would like a nice Browning over under with nice wood like that..... there aren't many guns I can say I really feel the need for at the moment, but that doesn't mean I won't get more and a Browning O/U will probably be one of them. Nice score for you! Enjoy it
It’s way overrated. Snow blowing the drive way freezing the family jewels off, spreading ice prevention stuff that gets tracked all over the hardwood floors. I’ve lived in New England for 60 years, last 18 winters in sunny south west Florida. Have to have Christmas here with family but oh How I wish Christmas was in August.
Yep, I'll second that, although I have yet to escape to a warmer climate. White Christmas and snow is great when you're a kid, sledding, nostalgia, snowboarding, building jumps, etc... as an adult, an electrician working outside much of the winter I hate it. And the holidays are expensive and New England, specifically VT is expensive to live in, add to that paying for sanding, plowing, heating costs, snow tires and maintenance, oil undercoats for 2 vehicles to prevent the acceleration of corrosive salts from turning your car into a worthless rust heap.It’s way overrated.

Give me Palm trees any day.
Wife and I went grouper fishing. Stocking up prior to season closure. Great day on the water with nature’s finest.
What caliber
