Merry Christmas to all!

[clean]

I hope that you are all safely spending the time with your loved ones (either in person, or electronically enhanced).  I hope that you get all the things that you want without much political conversations!  I hope that you enjoy the reason for the season and the best of times with all of those young ones that bring the most joys!


My bride and I have made it to my parents' house. My brother and sister in law arrived on Wednesday I think (maybe it was Tuesday... the days are a bit of a blur!).  My niece is being tested for Covid now, but should be arriving this afternoon, if she gets the All Clear.  My nephew's family with a 2 1/2 year old and an 8 month old will arrive on Monday as will my own Aunt and Uncle.  In all there will be 11 vaccinated visitors for 2 days for a few hours of celebration. 

How will you be spending the '12 Days of Christmas?'

Merry Christmas, clean. I hope you and your family enjoy the holidays!
SO and I will be hunkered down here--no Christmas visiting, and it's really too cold to do much outside this year.

Same. We may do some baking. SO wants to make a French Apple Cake.

I braved the grocery store between the snow this morning and the ice that's on the way. Now I can hunker down and bake scones before making shrimp rolls and trying out a festive cocktail recipe.

Merry Christmas! We're staying home on Christmas Day, but then visiting family over the next few days. Hoping to avoid contagion from the unvaccinated parts of my wife's family.

Spending Christmas week with my brother's family, all vaccinated. We're currently watching It's a Wonderful Life.

Christmas Eve: mulled wine, and appetizers followed by pre- Christmas dinner and more (regular) wine, followed by a walk, and then dessert. Good food and good company.

Tomorrow is the big meal.

Had to skip the Christmas Eve service because of the pandemic.

Spending Christmas week with my brother's family, all vaccinated. We're currently watching It's a Wonderful Life.

Seeing this movie in color for the first time, I enjoyed it with renewed pleasure. (Previous viewings were in the original black & white; it's an annual NBC Christmas movie staple) The colorized version brings out background details.

Merry Christmas one and all!

And to all a good night.

Merry Christmas everyone! Had a lovely time last night at the usual Christmas Eve gathering of Mr. Larimar's side of the family. Lots of food, talk, and presents, and my MIL's cat wanted everyone to pet her.

Merry Christmas, everyone! 

We'll be driving to Middle Daughter's house tomorrow, but for today, it's just the two of us, so it will be a relaxing day.  I'll bake some cardamom rolls to take to Middle Daughter's tomorrow.  Oldest Daughter and her partner of 31 years have just announced that they've decided to marry in January, so we'll be doing some major celebrating!  This is the first time we've all been together since Thanksgiving 2019, so it will be a very special Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

I have finally left the state in which I've lived 69 years and relocated to Colorado! It is amazing here!

Wishing good thoughts to all!

Merry Christmas folks.

Health and happiness all.  Time to watch old musicals.

Oh, and bah humbug too.

Merry Christmas all. Had a touch of snow a day early...now a very green Christmas!  :)
