COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

Good morning.
It just dawned on me that this is NOT Friday.
I picked up our ham yesterday from the HONEYBAKED HAM COMPANY.
It's just Kelly and I. It's 11 pounds. There should be lots of sandwiches..................

Whahaha. What a good idea. The one year when the 12 yr old was younger he was determined to catch Santa. So he tied a piece of string to his door handle and to his toe. Only problem was when you opened the door the string went inwards so did not tug on his toe. We only found out that he had done that much later when we took his stocking into his room. That little scene has been one of my fondest memories for Christmas.

That’s a sweet story.

The fog is starting to lift.
I drove my car to work today because at 4 am it was very thick.

I originally read that as “drove my CAT to work...” and was surprised. I knew you had tortoises and Suki, but never heard you mention a cat. And wasn’t clear why you took your cat to work...

I either need more coffee or new glasses...[emoji6]

Good morning all. Christmas is gradually coming together. I have a list....

Daughter comes home today. And I need to go to buy some brussels sprouts and some salad.

The kids presents are wrapped, but I haven’t wrapped JoesDad’s present yet. The turkey will be collected from the butcher on Christmas Eve.

So, me and my list had better brave the supermarket. I hate going there at this time of year

Good luck, Linda! I stopped by a supermarket yesterday and it was hell. At first I thought it was me, and then realized it was pre-Christmas.

Whahaha. My 12 year old knows those rules as well. But he likes to tease. I have just been teasing right back that if I am woken at 5am then I am absolutely positively sure that Santa would not be leaving a gift under the tree.[emoji6] I am just glad that they can still get excited. Being an adult and the one who does all the shopping and wrapping etc. I found takes a little bit of that giddy excitement that you feel as a kid away. Don't get me wrong I still enjoy Christmas and get excited. It is just not the same as when we were children.

It is for me!
So much fun and excitement!
Good afternoon, Carol
Happy Christmas Adam!

I hate the supermarket at any time of year.
But I may have to go there once or twice this week, simply to help wifey carry the huge volume of stuff.
Good afternoon, Linda.
Happy Christmas Adam.

Will Suki get some?
And the iguanas?
Good morning, Ed!
Merry Christmas Adam!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Brussels sprouts???? Is that because she was naughty this year???[emoji6]

Brussel sprouts are so yummy!
Anyway they are compulsory at Christmas even if one hates them.
Tidgy loves them too and will get one in her stocking.
Good morning, Bea!
Happy Christmas Adam!

Ed's not too keen on the cats in his area, as i recall.
They poop in his garden.
Yes he drove his thick cat to work! Ha de ha!

Good afternoon, Roommates!
