Our xmas tree is decorated in shiny blue and silver balls, and like yours, our cat keeps swatting them off the tree and batting them across the living room and under the couch.  I've stepped on endless ball hooks since thanksgiving now.  We put our vacuum clean near the tree as a scarecrow.

She's afraid of the vacuum clean?? Awesome!  :bigsmile:
 
As promised, here is the recipe for the world's greatest dressing (sometimes called stuffing).  See attachment below, "dressing recipe.doc".  To be served on Christmas or Thanksgiving.  It seems like a lot of work, but if you use the "shortcut" and buy a rotisserie chicken, it's not too bad -- either way, it is worth it!  Enjoy.  If you try it, let me know what you think.

I'll check it out at home.

So I've finalized my Christmas plans for this year: I'm getting a 24 of beer on New Year's Eve, and I am getting drunk as fuck on Christmas, whilst slow-cooking a ham.

A couple of my friends will be over.

And I will watch the Greatest Christmas Movie of All Time.

Adrian Smith made a xmas movie?
 
The Christmas movie I'm talking about is the story of a man who travels across the US in a desperate attempt to reunite his broken family. Sadly, on Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes, and our hero is called into action to save Christmas for dozens of people he's barely met. Bravely, he struggles with both body and sole to defeat those who would steal away joy on Christmas Eve, eventually rescuing Christmas for so many people, restoring confidence to a broken man who he's hardly met, and returning home to celebrate Christmas with his family.

The movie?

I didn't read the spoiler, but I liked the play on words. "Sole". Haha!  Love that flick. Now I want a twinkie.

Had a fun xmas w the fam this past weekend, ended up on the plaza in KC w my brothers and son at a pub. Good fun!  My girls got to go shopping with my mom. This week will be fun- 3/4 of the business will be off xmas eve, we work til noon. I think I'm bringing in my Wii for one of the conference room TVs.
 
Of course it'll be fun!  We eat barbed wire and piss napalm... Oh, wait.  :D

I am kinda excited, I get to have my kids wake up at my house on Christmas morning for the first time in 5 years!

I can imagine that is going to be great for you.  :ok:

I usually don't get in Christmas spirit until I give my family their presents and see how they are happy about it. This year, I got a batch of good presents, too. Fortunately, my parents announced in time where next year's holiday is taking them, so I could have that inspire my gift seeking.

The only other things I am really looking forward to are the traditional family dinner and the point when my dad comes out and says "want a brandy?" at, say, 23 o'clock. Usually, that means we're having our first "last one" at 2 and go to bed at 4 with half the bottle empty. Gotta love those family traditions. ;)

I just hope there won't be a fight this year.

Anyway, I still wish a heavy Christmas to all those who celebrate, and heavy holidays to those who don't.
 
There is almost always a Christmas fight in my family. My dad wants to cuddle up with my mom but she would rather like to prepare next morning's brunch for the greater family (aunts, uncles, cousins etc.). My dad and my brother sit in front of a laptop or some other technical device, which is always a source of fighting because they have radically different approaches: My brother is a lightning-fast computer nerd and my dad is easy-going. They should never mix. My brother wants more attention because everybody decides it is a nice atmospehre to read a good book, while my brother has all the books he got stacked up next to him and has his laptop packed out instead. I get pissed off because I am the strongest member of my family yet when I carry a box containing six wine bottles upstairs, somebody, usually my brother, asks me if I need help three times in a row. And in general I get pissed off because I sometimes feel like I'm not taken seriously (especially by my brother) because I am the youngest family member. My mom is stressed out because she does all the work but insists that it is her job and nobody should help her.

It's been a lot better since I moved out from my parents, though. Back then at one year, I made a list of all the fights, what they were about and who started them. Nowadays, it's more like little tensions that we look over often enough.
 
Ah, I see. I thought it was more towards you. The way you describe it, it looks more like small awesome tensions. Fuck I miss it.

I never did Christmas with my whole family, unfortunately. There were only partial reunions. I'm trying to recall previous Christmas tables and nothing comes to mind. Except the awesome 2007. But then, this was with my companion's relatives, not mine.
