@Oaktavia:

Haha well we spend Xmas day together, just avoid spending nights with them now. Also- nice tree!

@goosehd I have yet to try moose but I would love to one day. So neat to hear about your Uncle inlaw. I'll post a few tree photos later!

[goosehd]

@Alex @Giles Well done gentlemen!!

concerning relatives…Every few years it would seem like we were celebrating Festivus and the "Airing of Grievances" instead of Christmas.

Lights look like they are the perfect height to get caught under your chin as you pass through the door [emoji6].

Love this thread!

While I hope that being in the hospital Christmas morning doesn’t become a tradition, I expect spoiling the baby we were finally about to take home after 6 days for her birthday and then Christmas will become the core of our seasonal routine. Brandi is already planning a big 1st Birthday party themed “my favorite things” (which includes things like berries, grilled cheese sandwiches, and Cheerios).

For various reasons the room on the other side of those doors is housing a shit load of surplus to requirements furniture, the doors cant even be opened at the moment ….

Fixed it…

[Giles]

I don't have any surplus fishing equipment.  I have a lot, but none surplus (at least, in my mind)….

[goosehd]

I got busted one time…I had been out and found a sale (not a very good one), but...purchased two rods and reels for doing deep lake fishing.  Put them in the garage and kinda forgot about it.  One day Laura was looking for something in the garage and stumbled across them.  Got into a little trouble, but not too bad...so I guess not really surplus, but stock that I haven't used yet. 

[Giles]

That's not surplus, it's forward planning…...I have a lot of tackle ready for the time I try something I've not got round to trying yet.....

I got a lotta problems with you people…

[goosehd]

@steelworker I may have exaggerated a little, and it’s not that bad…

Have you watched National Lampoon’s Christmas with Chevy Chase?  I feel like Clark most of the time during the holidays.  Trying to make everyone happy, things not quite working out how I thought it would, but at the end of it all it really wasn’t that bad.

…and thankfully the police don’t show up at the end and the sewer doesn’t explode. 

[Oaktavia]

Here are the two Krampus ornaments and tree topper.

And here are a few other fun ones

And the whole tree

[goosehd]

Very cool!  I had never heard the story of Krampus until 10 years ago.  Is it something you grew up with?

[Sage954]

We have cut our tree down every year. First time I didn’t have to saw.
Love seeing all the Holiday posts.

Christmas time for us twins.

Got this one in Berlin.

@Oaktavia I really like the flying octopus thing. I might be missing a cultural reference, but I wonder if the characters on the 666 and 888 SBG patches got together when nobody was looking
