Rain yesterday and today, in SOCal! Would have been expected up north. But good temperatures. Always love the Christmas lights on palm trees.
Hi Jane....
Yes, Raymond in for Laura. But even better, Bongino in for Vannity! Dan Bongino is soooo good. He doesn’t interrupt, yet keeps the show moving very well. He actually listens to his guests, and responds accordingly. I like him.
Well, for Christmas this year, we will go to my daughter and son-in-law’s farm, as the kids are on their own turf and can run and play outside if they want. For some reason, my daughter and son decided to dispense with the traditional turkey dinner. Sigh. I can’t object, seeing as I let them put everything on....I pick up the tab and they do all the work. We’re having a “charcuterie” Christmas. They’re doing the smoking of the meats themselves (they hunt, so there’s duck). The farm raises lamb, so smoked or roasted lamb....lots of different meats, cheeses, dips, scallops, shrimp, etc. etc.
I’ll keep an open mind even though I’ll miss the usual stuffed turkey and pumpkin pie. lol. I guess as long as I no longer have to do the work, I’m fine. I have a turkey I can do for New Year’s Day. I used to do a lot at Christmas, but no more.
I should just take these gifts to a charity and take to the gathering a basket of fruit!
Thank you....After all they’re not the reason for the season....Our Savior is!
I’ll take the lamb over turkey anytime, that’s what we always have. And maybe some salmon.
Dont change you just because someone is a control freak. My mother was a giver. Thats the joy of giving If they cant afford gifts its their problems, that they cant graciously accept your gifts. Thats why my friends and family all get cookies. Not that they need it but because I enjoy making and giving. HUGS.
Just keep your eyes on the REASON for the SEASON, and you’ll have a Merry Christmas, dear caww.
Guys, this @DonaldJTrumpJr intro video is just 💀

Amen to that.
I do like the lamb. I’ll miss the mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing, vegetable dishes, pumpkin pie, cheese cake, etc. But it will be fine! Probably much nicer than I think.
I do all of the cooking and baking, I used to just LOVE to do it, now I dread it, what was once fun is now just a dreaded chore!! I consider myself very blessed however BECAUSE I used to have to go out and shop for all of the gifts NOW everything just comes to the front door in a couple of days!!! I absolutely hate Bezos politics for sure, BUT I love this guy for Amazon, absolutely AMAZING company!!! The one thing I have ALWAYS HATED was shopping and malls they NO LONGER exist for me. I havent been to a brick and mortar store (except groceries) in at least 3 years!!!
THAT’s the spirit...and, love the pic (as usual :)
Santa Cawws!
You can come here and rant all you want. We do!
Merry Christmas, caww, and many blessings in the New Year!
Ready for these indictments, NIKK.
It will be O, Happy Day!!
I do pray that Durham is secretly working behind the scenes.
Maybe why Fran Freako PeLOUSY looks so terrible, these days. She cannot make a coherent sentence and looks so worse, for wear.
I’m not going to change.....but you’re right it’s the JOY of giving I feel missing. It’s like getting robbed! And even giving them gifts anyway this year I don’t know how they wil take it. It’s like I’d be breaking their rules. There’s just no win in this.
At any rate...I’ll go as things are and see how it goes.... meanwhile I’m planning Christmas Eve here with pulled pork sandwhiches and other festive goodies that I enjoy... Will cuddle up with Jesus’s birth movies and the others fun to watch. It’s a plan!
Nice thing about living in Montana: Got people raising about every kind of livestock or poultry you can imagine if you don't just go out and hunt up some wild foodstuffs.
Grandma hasn't decided yet just exactly what we'll have.
Still got to consult with the rest of the ladies, I guess.
(Although I know one of the SIL's been bragging about the venison and elk meat he brought in this year...)
I'd better say Merry Christmas to y'all right now. I may be too stuffed full of good food over the next two or three days to want to mess with computers and posting.
Even if the little kids and I want to take time out from playing with the toys for those mundane things.
Ho, Ho, Ho.
I hear ya!!
I agree about Bezos and his politics, but.....man, does he have the shopping/same day/next day delivery thing down, pat.
I needed a few things, yesterday, and...lo and behold....right there on Amazon was $10 off, my SAME DAY Whole Foods delivery. How could I resist...especially since my local grocer didn’t have MANY of the things I’d gone for, the day before.
Whole Foods had EVERYTHING I needed, arrived within an hour ½ AND.....their packaging (in brown paper bags) was EXTRAORDINARY!! Iced down cold items, sealed in their own freezer bags, within the brown bag.....eggs labeled EGGS and pie (an apple pie for one relative who only likes apple pie) labeled....PIE: DO NOT lift from top. Everything double sealed, so you know NO ONE, except packer, has handled items.
I was VERY impressed.

It is very nice.
Cheesecake goes with everything.
