@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!

[chrisjohnnick]

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.

@Matt that oyster tray would be a great gift idea for my FIL...

@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.

Have fun with Miss Einstein:-)

@Matt was the Smithsonian her idea?

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?

[Matt]

None of the choices made this week were mine, I assure you.

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.

@Matt I think I realize why you had 3 mentions of alcohol in different threads yesterday.

[Matt]

Exactly.
