      @Oaktavia Please share!!  I love wild game (ducks, moose, caribou, deer, etc…)  We always seem to have some wild game in the freezer and just finished a fantastic moose stew a few weeks ago.  My wife's 80 uncle has been hunting for moose 20 years and finally got his first one this fall.

      The stew was divine.

      Can't wait to see your Krampus tree, and more than relate to family tensions at the holiday's...We've stopped going to a few of the family functions because of a few relatives...

        I freakin' wish….. 😃 😃 😃

                @goosehd I have yet to try moose but I would love to one day. So neat to hear about your Uncle inlaw. I'll post a few tree photos later!

                        Love this thread!

                        While I hope that being in the hospital Christmas morning doesn’t become a tradition, I expect spoiling the baby we were finally about to take home after 6 days for her birthday and then Christmas will become the core of our seasonal routine. Brandi is already planning a big 1st Birthday party themed “my favorite things” (which includes things like berries, grilled cheese sandwiches, and Cheerios).

                        Think it, be it.

                          For various reasons the room on the other side of those doors is housing a shit load of surplus to requirements furniture, the doors cant even be opened at the moment …. 🙂 🙂

                                I got busted one time…I had been out and found a sale (not a very good one), but...purchased two rods and reels for doing deep lake fishing.  Put them in the garage and kinda forgot about it.  One day Laura was looking for something in the garage and stumbled across them.  Got into a little trouble, but not too bad...so I guess not really surplus, but stock that I haven't used yet.  🙂

                                        @steelworker I may have exaggerated a little, and it’s not that bad…

                                        Have you watched National Lampoon’s Christmas with Chevy Chase?  I feel like Clark most of the time during the holidays.  Trying to make everyone happy, things not quite working out how I thought it would, but at the end of it all it really wasn’t that bad.

                                        …and thankfully the police don’t show up at the end and the sewer doesn’t explode.  🙂
