Title: Christmas Eve Friday
Post by: MAP on December 24, 2021, 06:49:36 AM
Good morning!  Woke up to around 1/4" of snow this morning, but it'll be gone by tonight.  Low key Christmas for us tomorrow since we'll be celebrating it when my son comes up in January.  I'll hopefully be doing something railroady later on today, but first, coffee.

Morning Mark and others,

The Judge is coming over this morning around 10 for a short BS session and then we'll head to Del Dios for lunch.

Other than that as Mark said, "low key" Christmas Eve here also.

Have a great day.

Tom  ;D

Morning,

We will begin the Christmas eve session of preparing the traditional turkey dinner tonight. Along with the difference of opinions of whether or not there is enough sage in the stuffing.

Good morning.


Low key Christmas Eve here, too.  More snow here than Mark rec'd, but nothing significant that I need to plow.  Planning some modeling, maybe some work on the layout. 


Everyone have a safe and productive day!

Marty, I love sage stuffing, but am the only one in my household so enlightened. Therefore it is a rare treat. Enjoy!

Big Christmas Eve celebration at my wife's parents house, with a legion of extended family. I married into a large Polish-Italian family, so the Christmas Eve traditions are strong.  Everyone is fully vaxxed so we're taking advantage this year.

Buone Feste!

Morning, all.

My daughter from Boston arrived yesterday.  I suspect we'll open some gifts tomorrow, but most of the fun will be next week when one set of grandchildren come to visit for a couple of days.  Trip to grocery store today is the only thing on tap.

Good Morning All,

Actually slept well last night. Not sure if I'll make it into the train room today since I have offered to help the wife with whatever she needs help with. I'm sure it will be a busy day.

I hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all,

Nothing planned today except for a couple of Christmas movies this evening.  "Christmas with the Kranks" followed by "A Christmas Carol" (the 1951 version with Alastair Sim).  Between then and now?  Workbench time!

Good afternoon from merry England! Lazy day today repairing the Magnorail cyclist for upcoming exhbitions in the New Year. Four of the last five days have been spent volunteering on the Santa Express trains on the West Somerset Railway. Great fun ensuring everyone has a safe and fun time. Hard work but very enjoyable. Enjoy the rest of the day.

Good morning! I'm watching my 9 month old Grandson while the rest of the family makes Christmas Cookies, this morning. I hope everyone has a great day and a very Merry Christmas. From the F&SM:

John, I'm sure some ISO 9000 quality assurance sampling is in your future.  (I miss Christmas cookies, not many diabetic recipes out there...)

Everyone be safe out there in their journeys. 

My favorite "Christmas Carol" by far is the Mr Magoo version. My brothers and I would run around the house singing 'La! La!  La-la-la-la-la!  We're just blankety blank no good!' 

Since Christmas tasks are done, I might get down to the train room for some work on my B&M boxcar project.

We are celebrating Christmas this evening as my sons' families will be passing thru on their way to their in-laws.  I anticipate a short intense period of eating Chinese and opening presents.


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY MANY FRIENDS NEAR AND FAR

Good Morning All;

We are deep into our Christmas cruise, currently at Cozumel, Mexico. The weather is perfect and it has been a good way to recover from surgery. I am relaxing on the ship while the others search for the perfect souvenir. We will be at sea tomorrow and then back to Fort Lauderdale. Hope everyone has a great day.

Progress on the (first) B&M boxcar.  I did the grabs, corner brackets (cut down from Grandt Line D&RG gondola parts) and door hardware (Tichy Old Time car parts.)
