Holiday Traditions

I don’t know of any of you do this with your elf but for one day she shows up in an empty plastic container, like for peanuts or something, so the kids can carry her around. Usually on a day we do something out like looking at lights or whatever.

One year she made a surprise visit on St Patrick’s day when the kids try to catch a leprechaun. She was in the trap dressed in green. The kids freaked all the way out.

@Matt Love it and the innocence of youth is magical and shouldn’t be rushed.

Some of us refuse to grow up…

@Matt this is all amazing and I’m definitely borrowing these ideas from you. Kids will love it.

Every Dec 1 I get a bottle of port and drink a glass a night. One of my favorite Xmas traditions.

One of my quirky Holiday Traditions is Maestro Mouse.

[Matt]

Does it play music?

[ROman]

@Matt Yes

Had to google it. I love it.

Is there a thread for everyone's wishlists for this season? Haven't seen one, but curious what everyone is hoping for this year.

Put it here…

I now have more automatic watches than I did two weeks ago by about 300% so I need a watch box with multiple rotating stations so I can stop carrying watches in my pajama pockets at night.

Is that an automatic watch in your pocket, or are you just happy to talk to me about automatic watches?

Two views of our Christmas tree.

And Nala who likes to keep her eyes on it.

Last night was one of our absolute favorite traditions. Decorating the tree, listening to Christmas records (with some Kyuss thrown in for good measure) and drinking lots of wine!! Now it feels like Christmas time!!

Same! The lady and I got in the holiday spirit last night, did some decorating and has some good buds over for hangs and games. I feel like I’ve sorta lost a bit of Christmas cheer over the past few years as I’ve gotten a bit older, life evolving, family changing and all that. Reclaiming it a bit this year, feels good — loving my living room right now 🥰
