I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this special date, December 25th. From your favourite moderator (me!)
I was trying to think of something witty, but I'm really tired, so I'll just say, merry Christmas to you too, Wordforge. Make sure to post pictures of your haul from Santa.
Hammer Barn were delayed in delivering my main present unfortunately, so I won't get to play with it for a few days. Hope your haul is good too!
Oh, it will be. Even though I know pretty much everything my wife got me, I'm still excited. I have the figures, and tomorrow I'll have the desk. I could not be more excited. What do you have coming?
Merry Christmas, Wrodforge! Merry Christmas, you old Bailey Building and Loan! Seriously, though, I hope everyone has enough food to eat, a warm place to sleep, and the people they want around them the most. Have a blessed Christmas.
I never get Christmas presents but i don't care i hate all the fuss, i only make and effort because of my 2 children and i only look forwards to Christmas dinner. But merry Christmas to you all I hope you all recieve and give welcome gifts.
The war on Christmas rages on. Onward, Christian soldiers! Celebrate the birth of baby Jesus today and punch anyone who says "Happy Holidays" to you in the fucking neck!
Merry thing and all that. Not many presents this year, extended family have stopped doing them so basically £100 from Mum (some of which will go on Spider-Man 2 when it comes out for PC end of Jan), slippers and thermal socks (I did ask for these), Bill Bailey's autobiography, assorted chocolates, 1.5L of Highland Earl whiskey (decent cheap Scotch you can only get in a chain store we don't have in Aber). Plus noms and toys for the pets. Mum got a new phone from me so have had to spend the morning setting it up and showing her how to use it, plus connecting to her smartwatch (I bought this for her a while back but turns out her old phone didn't have recent enough Android (and ability to upgrade to it) to connect). Saddle of lamb stuffed with cranberries and chestnuts in the oven. Potatoes have been steamed and now in fridge ready to roast later.
It's a white Christmas here. The boys like their new pillows. The 4yo brought his downstairs this morning and is resting on it in Mommy's chair while he waits for Mommy to make an appearance.
Happy Christmas, motherfuckers. The kids got the usual far too large haul. Only a couple more years until that will have to contain a PlayStation, which will be as much for me. My wife and I only did token gifts, in lieu of a trip to London next week instead.
Lamb was fucking delicious. That was a good decision (we hate turkey so try to do something different - last year was pork fillet Wellington with cider apple duxelles which was quite stressy to roll properly). This (apart from a slight faff with the butchers' twine which will be resolved in future with netting) was extremely simple and cheaper than I expected (£25 for ~900g meat off the bone). Dogs also nommed the toys so have had to take them away. Plastic dinosaur bits in the dog poop not good.
I got myself a PS5 this year, i reckon waiting for 4years after release shows enough restraint, subsequently my kids upgraded from their PS3 to a PS4 as one of their presents which they were very happy about. Especially happy as i have nearly 300 games digitally tied to my account which means i can download them to the ps4 on my main account and they can play them on theirs which is a pretty cool feature which i hadn't noted till i gave it to them and made them their accounts. Defo should upgrade to a PS5 when the opportunity presents its self its a worthy and noticeable difference. Anyway happy Christmas fella.
I discovered a new snack. It is like an empanada only white bread on the outside and different jams with peanut butter on the inside. Stupid nurse gave me five last night with pudding and other things. 400 blood sugar before breakfast in the hospital. I should not call the blessed being who brought me those stupid. They must be healthy because the hospital gives them away.
