Walsingham Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Last minute bimble to the shops. Got all the bits. Pretty decent TV on, plied all the goons with tea, and opened an excellent negro amaro red wine. Probably too much tannin for sipping, but when the leg of lamb with anchovy and rosemary and garlic emerged, went down a treat. Am now sending off festive emails to all, while the family finish watching Miss Marple on the TV. I was just admiring the leading actress Georgia Moffett, when I realised she's an ex-girlfriend of one of my friends. Lucky bastard! "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Just got back from midnight mass. Decided to drag the family along partly out of mischief and partly because when it comes down to it I am Church of England, from school and my role models. I don't take communion because I think it's hypocritical while I support the Army. But nice people, and all very friendly. Good message, which unfortunately I left behind. Something about the important bits, and not having a hollow christmas covered in tinsel but which left you dark inside and dark towards others. Am now emailing friends and family abroad, while we field calls from places where it already... hang on... it _IS_ christmas day. Enjoying a beer to wet my dry throat. Merry christmas, all forum and staff. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Orogun01 Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Merry Christmas, no promises on not getting drunk. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoraptor Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 It's hot and sunny here. Somehow I've ended up with a 4kg ham and a 4kg turkey- for two people, since nearly all my relatives are in the UK at the moment. Had too much to eat already, and approaching too much to drink too. Merry Christmas all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 No particular Xmas celebration in this house, but Happy Holidays everyone. Hope it's a good one. I have hubs to myself for 10 days and we're going to be marathon gaming. Ho ho ho! “Things are as they are.

MechanicalLemon Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Just got back from Mass. Not as many people this year, unfortunately. Merry Christmas, everyone. Hope you all have a fun and safe holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guard Dog Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Merry Christmas everyone. I've been out playing with the dogs and their new toys, frisbees, balls, and Booda Bone rope toys. I've got the smoker going now making jerky dog treats, and for myself I've got a fresh venison back strap that I'll cut for steaks along with steamed stone crab claws and steamed yellow squash topped off with fresh biscuits I'm making from scratch. For now though I'm going to open an ice cold Sam Adams winter lager and give Dragon Age a look for the first time ever. It's not a perfect Christmas Day, but it sure ain't bad either.

Blank Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Nard dog, I read your post from earlier about where you gave gifts. I wanted to thank you for being charitable and spreading some true Christmas cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shryke Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 did the same thing i did for the last 2 christmas' spent the past few days at a friend's parent's place, lazing about in the sun with booze and board games and far too much food to possibly be consumed when your mind works against you - fight back with substance abuse!

Walsingham Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Whole family, bar me, slept through until midday. Normally they charge about like mentalists. I'm taking this as a massive compliment to my hospitality, food, and preparation of beds. For myself I'm beginning to get antsy as hell from no gaming, farting, or swearing. "It wasn't lies.
