    Not me. We're out in Las Vegas preparing to welcome granddaughter Raven on New Year's Eve!

    But one of our neighbors goes a little crazy every year ...

    @Piano-Dad I love to see those kinds of displays, but I’m not sure I’d want one in my neighborhood! 😅

    @adagiom I love your display!

      Speaking of decorating for Christmas, take a look at these quirkily New England lobster trap Christmas trees:

            @Axtremus The lobsters as tree toppers are a nice touch.

                Are they? Gotta have the paper hat, gift and silly joke to start...

                What's white, furry, and smells of mint?

                    What fun! And tell the person at the head of the table that I love the sweater.

                      Merry Christmas to one and all!

                      Here’s the tree. Family will be by this afternoon to open presents.

                      This crèche was a wedding gift and is my favorite Christmas decoration.

                          If You Tube is to be believed I think those potatoes are “roasties”. Looks like there are several different cooking methods and all of them look delicious! 👍

                          How do you make them? What’s the best kind of potato to use?

                            Medium sized potatoes (not small new or large baked) chopped to the size you want.
                            Par boil them 5mins or so, then cover in oil (and honey) and roast until golden (about 20-15 mins at 210). Very tasty.

                            Wife is in the jumper; she carved the meat to serve easily.

                            Our decorations were very last minute this year due to my carpet laying and 4 collies.

                              @AndyD Thanks for the recipe! I still have potatoes from my garden. I think I'll prepare them a la Andy to go with tonight's chicken!

                                Most of it is permanent, hiding among the bushes and trees.

                                I suspect it's mostly LED, so not particularly expensive to operate compared to the older systems.
