It's only a couple of hours or so until Christmas Day in my particular time zone. A day filled with family and fellowship. I hope each and every one of you has a day and evening filled with love, laughter, and light, whether you celebrate or not. Merry Christmas to all of my many, many friends. And may Dickens' words ring forever true; "God bless us, everyone!"
I'm having breakfast. A large number of bluetits and coaltits are also having theirs, but they're outside in the damp, hanging onto a cage full of peanuts with their claws.
Peace on Earth, Goodwill to all, and may joy find you. Also if your puppy barks too much, I suggest letting him run around outside to see if that stops it. Just be sure he's in a fenced in yard.
And MERRY CHRISTMAS! And if I vanish for a few days,... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
:)

"It has come to my attention that LAST Christmas I may have taunted 2018 with the words, 'Come at me',... and it did. Dear 2019, I see no reason why we cannot get along peacefully. Please put down the sharp object and let us discuss this rationally,..."

Fun fact: The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day because of the traditional winner-take-all-the-presents bare knuckles round robin tournament. The More You Know...
Oh...right...it's Boxing Day...looks out at the sea of users in the office...punching all of these people may take all day, but it will be absolutely within the spirit of the holiday.

I didn't get in the tree before it closed, cause I figured one 10,000+ post hang out was enough for me, but now I'm getting in nearly on the ground floor.
I'm running Savage Tide right now and plan to run a modified Crimson Throne/Council of Thieves mashup when its done. I've been poking for some time at what I plan to do with Scarwall to set its place in our homebrew setting, and stumbled onto something that gave me a brilliant idea for it a couple days ago.
My player/s stay out:
Anyone else here ever heard of or read City of Angles? And no that's not "angels" typoed.
Thinking Scarwall will be a sort of Sideways style area, blockaded off from affecting the world with ancient magic from a united coalition of varied arcanists including multiple dragons and of faiths good, evil, lawful, chaotic, and all between. Will probably tie it to our worlds pseudo-Lovecraftian force, the Dark Song, in some way. Occasionally a Missing One (analogous to the Picassos) will slip out but for the most part they're confined in there, which is great until the party needs something from inside....

Followed by Chokehold Day on the 27th.
Really? That's going to take even longer.
resumes going up and down the cubefarm aisles, screaming "Happy Boxing Day!" with a manic grin and wild eyes...

Except in America west of the Mississippi River, where Chokehold Day is called Oklahoma Hello Day. Also, brands of mayonnaise change and Hardee’s becomes someone named Carl’s Jr. It’s weird out west...
We went from two Hardee's to one. The first one gave my ex-wife food poisoning and she came close to dying from it. There was no way to prove that that's what it was because no reports in the paper or on the news mentioned any sort of outbreak. But man, was she ever sick.
Hardee's and Wendy's keep buying each other's buildings around here...and then eventually abandoning them and they become title loan rip-off joints or branch offices of the Postal Service or something.

That happened to to the Qdoba that used to be down the block from my office, it's now a payday loan place. I miss it.
All I know is 30th is the Circumcision of Christ in some religious sectors.
For me Boxing Day/St. Stephen Day is like Festivus. I get to settle grudges. And drink the last of the port.
That is...if I had a less than stellar Christmas Day. But I did have a stellar one. I got to read a Christmas Carol to my family (Just the first chapter.) They really liked my Scrooge.
It really depends on the individual store. The Hardees I pass on my way to work is kinda meh, and the Wendys closer to work is significantly nicer. But finding them the other way around is not hard.
