OT: The Holiday Thread

The Bride loved Friendly’s Jubilee Roll. She grew up with it with her family. Unfortunately they stopped making them last year.

Getting into the season, watched Santa Camp on HBO Max this morning. Documentary on some non traditional Santas learning the trade and making their way (against all odds). :x):

Our newest tradition is the Christmas Pickle. I had never heard of them and we were at a heritage site in the area at Christmas time a few years ago - it was beautifully decorated in Victorian style. At the gift shop they had Christmas Pickles - I had to wonder why. I read the story and thought it was a pretty neat idea but $20 was too much...lol We were at a dollar store last year and saw them there! We now own one and the tradition began. Our adult kids have to play since we have no grandchildren.....lmao!

Today, I was up in the attic wading through the boxes of shit my wife refuses to get rid of, looking for the outside Christmas lights. I accidentally tripped on one of the said boxes of shit, and as I stumbled, I stepped off of the plywood flooring onto the un-planked part of the attic floor directly above my son's room (he's home from college).

Next thing I know, my foot goes clean trough (up to my hip) the attic floor/ceiling in my son's room, right above his bed. He was in his bed working on his computer at the time, and I think he might have crapped his pants.

Yeah I'm a little pissed right now, but when I saw the picture my son took of my leg hanging through his bedroom ceiling, I couldn't help but laugh.

Decided to start listening to my Christmas albums tonight. First up, one of the ones I bought at a yard sale for $1. It's fantastic... so far no scratches. Marshmallow World is a classic.

Also I watch entirely too much hockey because when I looked at this I said.... he kinda looks like Tuukka :laugh:

The other day I was on the way to work and got behind the local utility company installing the big light-up snowflakes on the telephone poles. I just love that they do that. They also put up wreaths with candles on the poles on the main retail strip. The guy hanging them wears a Santa hat. It just makes me smile.

I know we have all the music at our fingertips now but when I was in the car bringing the kids to school Friday at 8am the local station flipped to Christmas. (We had been checking daily for the past week). Kids were pretty excited to hear it "live".

Kind of like how it's not really Christmas until Rudolph and Charlie Brown are "live on air." Used to be they showed them just a few days before Christmas. Then they moved it until the day after Thanksgiving or something ridiculous like that.

Watching it on DVD is just not the same.

One thing I have noticed is when shopping online and put an item in your cart, have entered your email address but did not complete the purchase, the next day you will often get a reminder to complete your purchase , along with a discount coupon or code

If you can wait a little its a good way to save a little of the price of an item
