I'm tasked with grilling out some ribeye steaks. We'll be having a baked potato and salad with the steak. We might do a veggie. Desert will be a pie or cake.

Nothing really special going on here.

Dinner on the 25th will be Ham, Dressing, Asparagus and Rolls

I'll play Jingle Bells on the wife's Yamaha keyboard, and call dad via WhatsApp or EasyCall on Christmas day. And that's about it for Christmas.

The whole family gathered at my brother's house yesterday for a full Polish style dinner, consisting of kielbasa, saurkruat, city chicken, pierogi and desserts, followed by imported Polish beer and wine. Today we are having friends over to play games and appetizers and drinks.
Kicking back and relaxing the rest of the weekend, then back to work on Wednesday...

My G/F and I had plans to go to kinfolk for Christmas dinner but she had a fall down accident and has been in the hospital for 4 days now !

We have a tree up and presents under it, we have celebrated Christmas together for the past 3 years.

I have a bone in Cooks ham, black-eyed peas and cabbage to cook for the New Year.

The way we have since I was a kid, at my parent's home. Although most of my family has been dropping like flies lately, RIP.

As for food, there's a lot more vegan options these days, and most of the family has moved past the tradition of a turkey.

At home, just the wife and kids. Post-op so longer travel isn't an option.

Going to watch the kids open presents and will have a rib roast for dinner with whatever side dishes we choose.

 

[ozonetrooper]

G/F is supposed to be released to go home today, might be a good Christmas after all !!!

 

[olbriar]

I hope she gets out of lockup ozonetrooper! What a bummer it would be to spend Christmas in the hospital.

 

[ozonetrooper]

All is good in OT land this morning, G/F got to come home yesterday, this morning we opened presents ! ! !

Merry Christmas to all !

 

[olbriar]

I'm happy for both you and your lady! Christmas in a hospital would be beyond terrible.

 

[olbriar]

Merry Christmas my good friends.
