Re: Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you also. And all the rest. We did all the Christmas things with the family last night, so this morning our 3 kids (and the grandkids) could spend Christmas with their spouses' families. So today I'm going to relax and read a book, while my hubby starts building my gift--a custom dining room table to match my new granite counters.
What is everybody else doing for Christmas?

Re: Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone, hope it's all going well and not too stressful. Having a quiet one at home, did a bit of tidying up in the garden, planted a few spring bulbs, did some ironing and watched the last two episodes of the first series of "Outlander".

Re: Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas. My wish for snow didn't happen. Made all my food yesterday, so now I'm re-reading a fantasy novel.
Into battle we ride with Gods by our side
We are strong and not afraid to die
We have an urge to kill and our lust for blood has to be fulfilled
WE´LL FIGHT TILL THE END! And send our enemies straight to Hell!

Merry Christmas all. We're having a very unusual for Seattle white Christmas. It's supposed to melt this afternoon, but then a refreeze overnight. Yikes!
At home with a good book and the cat...

Re: Merry Christmas!
Hope everyone had a good Christmas. We had family round both on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. We were going to eat the remains of the turkey tonight, but unfortunately the dog got into the fridge and pinched it!!!!! He’s in the dog house now!

Re: Merry Christmas!
On the topic of dogs--my Christmas gift to my family (and all who like a laugh) was to finally write up the dog story they've chuckled over for years.
