December chat and general BS thread
OK, so I'm an hour early. Just figured I'd get this one going.
I want to wish everyone "Happy Holidays"
Now to get down to guy stuff. Looks like I'm in the doghouse again. :-( I've got a question for you guys. When the wife has her friends over, are you expected to sit around and help entertain them? The wife had a friend over last night to decorate the tree, it is the most gaudy, butt ugly Xmas tree I have ever seen and I refused to hang around and help. Now the wife is pissed at me. Probably didn't help that I voiced my opinion of the tree. ;-)

Jeff, you cheated...I was all set to start this month's thread but you jumped the gun! Oh well, guess that's what I get for snoozing.
Merry Christmas to all indeed.
What you need to ask yourself, does the tree look better or worse than the one Reading, PA put on display? I'm no expert on Christmas trees...but I will say that one looks pretty rough. As far as if your supposed to be the entertainment when the boss has a guest over...can't help you much there either. I get in trouble because I apparently intimidate her friends and certain family members by my mere presence. Guess it's the beard.

The problem with the tree and a lot of the other decorations she has come up with is the fact that they are gaudy. They would probably fit right in at a department store or in an ultra-modern decor, but we live in a rustic cabin on the river.
I'm not into decorating myself, not into the whole commercialized version of Xmas. I have been called scrooge for years, but to me the whole holiday thing is just depressing.
Oh well, guess its only a month, I'll power through it somehow or I'll do as I have in the past, hook my 53 up to the teardrop and disappear until its all over.

To me, the Christmas tree tells a story of the family...baby's first Christmas, mom getting her nurse's pin and so on. But then I guess my family has always been a little different. One of my grandmothers used to just use tinsel and simple lights for as long as I could remember. The only thing modern on our tree is LED lights...man those things are BRIGHT!
I thought you bought an IRS for your '53 here recently? Maybe you'll have to put that ole dog (R-body) back to work.
And don't say you can't afford it, the price of diesel is falling. Heck, I seen so cheap today ($3.29) that the kids with the Duramax are out dumping fuel out the tailpipe.

Decorating the tree has since been a thing we pretty much leave to the kids, at least the first 4ft of it anyway.

We got a fake tree for the first time this year, not sure how I feel. But in January when she comes down it'll be a heck of a lot easier! But Merry Christmas y'all, always my favorite time of the year as I get off of school for a bit and my birthday is the 13th
Anyone are duck hunters here? Just wondering how your season is going if you are; I've been twice as of now and only have a pair of Gadwalls and a mallard hen.

Guess I must be getting in the spirit for something, sitting in Verizon Arena waiting on Garth Brooks.

I like Garth Brooks, but I just can't do the concert thing. Now, an outdoor concert that is BYOB, I can handle.
Almost time for the jolly ole fatman to make an appearance, hope everyone got all their shopping done.

Yeah, the wife decided since she was in the holiday spirit this year, we would exchange gifts. Well guys, you all know we usually come out on the short end, especially after that mandatory stop at the jewelry store.

With a bloated gut from all the food...I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. At least it's a beautiful day on the western front compared to yesterday.
Your house too? Our living room looks like all the nicely wrapped gifts form the last several weeks....EXPLODED!
