Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I prefer a meal on the Eve if there is going to be a big family sit-down and then just snacking on Christmas, but I rarely get all that I want. We are a small group this year, so hopefully no formal meal. There should be the following though on Christmas:
Cranberry salad (the same as from Thanksgiving)
sausage dip and chips
Cranberry Orange cake
some sort of pie
Chicken or Turkey (cornish hens are a good option)
Crescent rolls
lots of cookies and possibly caramels
We did too! They started doing it in the 70s when it was trendy, and we kids loved it, so they just never stopped.
Yep, that's what happened with my family, too. I have a fondue pot in the back of a cupboard somewhere that I should pull out.
Now I want fondue! I bet my parents still have a pot.
I have been considering a ham on Christmas day, but really haven't gotten any further than that. It will just be CJ and me on the Eve, so we will do something simple. Day of, I have everyone in the morning, then the kids go to KCD's for a while and I'm not sure when they will be back.
We are under a blizzard watch today. We've had about an inch so far and the forecast for the rest of the day keeps changing.
We usually have ham and a chicken on Christmas day, and keep it simple on Christmas eve.
I love it when the president is photographed with kids: [link]
Fondue over New Year's would be fun. I think I work New Year's Day, but I've got 4 days off before that.
Does anyone know why I have "Alien Invasion (X-Files)" on my calendar for Saturday?
The X-Files series finale made reference to the Mayan Calendar.

Furthermore, in "The Truth," it is revealed to Mulder by The Smoking Man that the aliens plan to colonize the earth on December 22, 2012, an event that, according to the show, the Mayans predicted. This is a throw-back to the second season episode "Red Museum," which featured members of a new religious movement who believed that the year 2012 would bring about the dawning of the New Age.
Timelies, Buffistas.
Email I need to send to the local transit authority: your GPS bus-tracking system appears to be tracking invisible buses. Or possibly ghosts.
I left my house when my bus was supposed to be at my stop in 4 minutes. When I got to the stop the tracking system said it would come in 1 minute. 15 minutes later, I got on an entirely different bus, because the original bus had never shown up.
Bah.
In other news, I brought homemade fruitcake into the office. I shall not tell anyone what it is, and see if they eat it. If they don't, I'll bring it to the kitchen, where the ravening hordes from the other division will certainly consume it.
I love you guys.
