I am wondering what Gulchers are doing for Christmas. We have an interesting mix in the Gulch but regardless of beliefs I think its fine to celebrate and enjoy the holiday. My wife is active in her Church so I'll be going there tonight and then a nice quiet day tomorrow. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone.

    It was yesterday for us. Daughter was working. A lamb fell off a truck last weekend and into our freezer so Cmas lunch was a roast rolled shoulder and new spuds from our garden.
    Rotary club plum pudding with custard.
    And everyone wearing little as its so hot.

    I am going camping in a couple of days.
    Its a freecamping site tucked away in the bush. Costs $5/ 24 hours to use the drop toilet. And thats all. Perfect.

    Best to all my gulchmates.

    Dinner at my son's house on Sunday. Why Sunday? Because my grandson gets triple time for working the holidays. We all decided to honor his work ethic and put things off so he can sock away some big bucks, and pay for the new car he proudly polishes.
    My BW has been on one of those ancestry web sites and discovered a heretofore unknown 2nd cousin. We'll be entertaining her this afternoon.
    Then, we'll be looking forward to the otherwise forbidden root beer floats on New Year's Eve. Such is the life of a sedentary (very) old person. Not exactly boring, but nothing to get excited about either. So -- why am I bothering to write this? I just want to let you all know what you've got to look forward to.

    Hiding! I have managed to dodge all XMas invitations and am reveling (nay: wallowing!) in the ability to be at home, lounging in my beautiful barn-home and just enjoying the day. Perhaps I will go for a stroll in the wilderness with some happy dogs later today...

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    You have a lot to deal with this year. A quiet Christmas is good. The new year will be interesting. Hopefully we can get things going in the right direction.

    I'm trying to be my hubby to watch it's a wonderful life! He's never seen it! Or A Christmas Story! After supper, I'm going to make him watch it! Hehe

    And POTUS will do his best to get that destruction in!

    I hope you aren't too lonely today. I'm glad you'll get to see your daughter and grandkids tomorrow!

    We are having a quiet small Christmas this year. It's not been a very happy Christmas for us. My MIL went into the hospital Christmas Eve; I've been ill myself... Now my other half seems to be catching what I have and he's got another relative dying. I was going to go feed homeless people today, but I didn't want to pass my germs along. Last thing they need is someone coughing all over their food!

    I hope everyone else has had a happy Christmas! Unfortunately I fear what 2016 is bringing us.

    I have found the highway is more dangerous than the race track (which I take my Boxster on). Appreciate the comment. The new Porsche will have almost twice the power of the Boxster.

    With just my wife and myself, we prefer a quiet Christmas. We went for a walk this AM (in the Philly area it is 65), I washed her car (mine is clean) and preparing for a big event in two days. I am getting a special edition Porsche (only 60 made), picking it up tomorrow and having 50 car fanatics, friends and others over to celebrate it. Other than philosophy, wine and good food, my life revolves around sports cars.

    I am a huge fan of A Christmas Carol. I have not heard of this version so I will watch it. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
