Knowing our usual temperatures, without some intervention it'll still be here in May.

13 grandchildren, Max? I'm exhausted after three and a half years of my FIRST one! Congratulations, my friend!

We too started giving cash when they started leaving the gifts they didn't want for me to return lol
The moose showed up in the dark last night but I managed to get some photos this morning.

Quiet here in Dumbarton, latest news is the birth of my latest grandchild Lochlyn.
His birth takes the total of grandkids to 13 plus a great grandchild.
Unless otherwise advised by my sons I've taken the cowards way out and just give cash for Christmas.
Give my best wishes to DL please Roger, hope she has a quick recovery,
All the best boys and girls.

Saw a moose in the distance outside the kitchen window this morning - hopefully it will be back to trim the branches on the willow in the next day or two and I can get a photo.
We have so much snow this year and its been cold so it makes it very Christmassy. We have two kids home this year and have been playing board games already and watching movies. We pretty much always have quiet Christmases.
Wishing you all joy and peace.

As I mentioned earlier, it will be a quiet affair for us this year with my sister still in hospital and my son looking after his 17 day-old daughter. When I say quiet, I mean as quiet as our other granddaughter (three and a half years of frightening energy) will allow. I suspect I'll be spending a lot of time on my knees, putting together various new toys.
Enjoy yourselves!

I think I watched one this year, but as it had a well known actress, it may not have been one but same formulated plot.
I have now watched SEVEN new to me Christmas movies this year. I actually saw one worth recommending last night: FX's A Christmas Carol. It was like you have never watched another version before - almost three hours long mind.
Usually watch Die Hard - this time we watched it very early and I have a list of 3 must watches every year and a few optionals. I thought it would be interesting to see some never before watched this year but not having a high success rate of great ones lol
