Christmas by the Sea

Have fun! Marblehead had a thing like this when I lived there. Kids loved seeing Santa come in on a lobster boat.
My Bruins tree, my family is very indulgent....I am the only Bruins fan in the family.

Only one Bruin ornament but tree up, wrapping gifts this weekend
I always get laughed at when I answer the "What do you want?" question with total conviction, when I say "Socks." Every year, every person that asks. That's the answer.
Chapstick
Candy, gum, mints
Electric candle lighter
Socks
Phone charger
Hand cream
Leatherman tool
Headlamp
Car wash gift card
Movie tix
Travel mug
Cell phone stand
Tea
Phone wipes
Mini liquor
Orange in the toe

gift cards
hand sanitizer
funny bandaids
chapstick

office supplies (post it notes, a nice pen, small notebook)
My sister and I are very picky about office supplies so post it notes for the fridge is a normal find in stockings these days. I'm a pen snob and get giddy over pen refils.
The bandaids started as a text from me asking if she needed any b/c I need to spend my extra fsa money. I got the package 2 days before xmas one year and put them in her stocking.
Growing up it was always scratch tickets, small toys and our favorite candy in stockings.

Good to read, I have 3 things off your list in the stocking for Mrs Odaat
Decided to Christmasfy my mom's tv...while she's watching the tv show "Mom".
She loved it!
It really did! I had no idea these things existed before you and other posters told me. You saved us a lot of hassle!

I’ve been working from home for a few weeks while they do some renovations at work.
I‘m a bit of a neat freak and TBH, I love that I can keep the house neat because it makes me enjoy how nicely my wife decorated the house a lot more.

Does anyone else (probably from my generation) do the Santa Mouse tradition...... ???
In a nutshell, Santa Mouse travels with Santa Clause and hides a small gift in the Christmas tree for you to find. It is always tied with yellow ribbon.
Got my Santa Mouse book in 1968 as a 5 year old.....have done it every year since. I told my daughter Santa Mouse presents came and she said I wonder what fishing lure I am getting this year....

Someone wasn't allowing me to put down our Christmas rug earlier today. He was very proud to claim it as his.
It may not prove your thing, but this Christmas, give The Holdovers a moment.
Deftly written, directed, and cast. Set in 1970. New England. Boston makes a fine cameo.
It's sweet, it's sad, funny and smart. And it will stay with you.
In a good way.

Someone knows the bed was just made up means one thing, Grandma soon arriving and it appears I now have to clean up rawhide bone juice off the small rug beside the bed

This could be fun.....
Worst Christmas gift you ever got ?
My wife's family drew names with a $100 limit.
My mother in law, who would have preferred my wife married any other male alive, got my name of course.
She went to some place cheap and got me a set of plastic curves for tracing to do woodworking. They cost $10.
Everyone kept waiting for the next gift for me..... that was it
