    Ours is Christmas Eve at my wife’s sisters place with their dad and stepmum ( my wife’s family has a really weird family setup)
    Christmas Day at my brothers with his in-laws and then Boxing Day at home alone with the 3 of us which suits me down to the ground

      The missus and I drive south every year to see family. A night or two before we go, we put on Xmas tunes, turn on fire place, make holiday cocktails, and wrap all the gifts. I find the wrapping to be a challenge and hers usually look better, but this is consistently my fav night of the holidays. Family time afterward is hit or miss 😝

          @Matt if you’re home you could invite your neighbour round to the garage to bond

                Man, I honestly don’t know how y’all that do the elf on the shelf do it! My oldest is 7 and he has said he has friends that do it, and I’ve already explained to him that it’s just parents having fun with him. I have felt like such a grinch, though!

                  Should also say, Santa still visits us at our house for our kids! I just don’t have the bandwidth or time (or creativity) for the elf on the shelf shit!

                    5°C and rain qualifies as a Christmas tradition, right?

                      @Matt well shucks!

                      I'll be at my brother's with his little ones. I got the nephew a marble run for Xmas and I'm looking forward to setting that up with him.

                      Take the dive...

                          @chrisjohnnick ha! I need to admit that I’m not the one doing the relocating every night. And every morning it’s as much a surprise to me as it is to the kids when we find him. I mean my kids are 12 and 10 so I’m 100% positive they know it’s us, but he’s part of the family now

                            It’s cast iron for baking/smoking/grilling etc.

                              My father in laws gfriend just asked me if the “most popular haircut for men these days is a ponytail. Like Kung Fu style. “

                              A curt no was my response.

                                Now she just warned us all not to touch the food in the Smithsonian cafeteria unless u plan on buying it because the workers will throw it away. It took her 4 different plates of food to figure that out. She was not laughing, she was still confused by the situation.

                                      You know @Matt you could have been swilling beer & smoking dope with a buncha online pals but you chose family.
                                      What is wrong with you?

                                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                      Well, I have others.

                                          We have a Japanese stroll garden here that does a really nice holiday event called “Gardens Aglow”. I think they string up over 200,000 lights throughout the garden. We take the kids every year and it’s become one of our favorite traditions.
