    I'm having the couple across the street and my other neighbor over for dinner on Monday evening. I'll make Polynesian Shrimp, coconut rice, etc. We'll try the Christmas cake I made last month, and some hand dipped chocolates I made this past week.

          Christmas Eve locally, dinner at the Toddlers. Jane always lays out a fine spread. We’re hosting Christmas Day.

          Greg’s extended family arrives 12/26, including Tori’s Mom flying in from VA, with her sister and BF driving up from Philadelphia. We’ll decamp for the lake to have room for them all.

          Looking forward to it!

            Quiet around here, as usual! We are having the fam over for Christmas Eve, but it’s only us, my folks, kid and his girlfriend, and my aunt. Rather than a sit down dinner, we are going to do a snacky charcuterie/dips/appetizer situation. The kids have so many different roast dinners to do over three or four days that I figured it might be nice for them to have something a bit different.

            Other than that, just Rob and I and lots of board games. His office decided to shut down between Christmas and New Years (which makes a lot of sense, since Boxing Day is a holiday here so they would have been working just the Friday and Monday and whatever half-work might happen on New Years Eve! So we be in full hibernation mode for about a week!

              We had Thanksgiving with Mr. AM’s family in St. Louis, and Christmas dinner will be at our house here in PDX. There will be 12 of us all together. Prime rib, my sister is cooking it on her Traeger. I just have to do sides.

                  Doug - that's a great eggs sample of your humor. We visit in Carol's sister's for eve - and spend X-day in seclusion. The authorities prefer it that way. Spouse is in cookie baking mode at the moment.

                      I'll be spending them with the ball and chain karma gave to me. It won't be anything like a Christmas card. I can assure you.

                      Most of my family has passed. But I did have reunions with my brother and my cousin this year after losing my Dad.

                        We hosted a party about a week ago. Cookies and hot mulled cider. We're open for strays on Christmas day. Having rack of lamb as the main course, with chocolate mousse for dessert. Quiet here, lots of sitting by the fire. For the full holiday week a busy local barn's indoor arena is vacant, so I plan to ride every single day our road is passable.

                            A Delta flight from Cincinnati to Las Vegas was diverted to Kansas City on one of the busiest travel days of the year Monday due to an “unruly customer,” an airline spokesperson confirms.

                                  Only a 3 hour delay in the end Delta handled it as well as could be expected. We had to wait for a fresh crew due to their rules.

                                    No, but we were up front and heard him apologize to the pilot saying he didn’t really have a gun or bomb. I think he ate one too many gummies.

                                    I don’t think they arrested him. He sat in the terminal near the other passengers for quite a while then left on his own.
