Years ago, Payday 2 put out a Christmas album, with songs written by the composer and performed by him or the voice cast.

Every year I always find myself listening to this song and even have it on my phone (warning: language).

I just watched A Very Supernatural Christmas, and I'm happy to report that its still an outstanding episode of television.

I also plan to watch:
-- Season's Greedings (Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman)
-- A Star To Guide Them (Hercules: the Legendary Journeys)
-- A Solstice Carol (Xena: Warrior Princess)

I'm also debating if I need to go to the store and purchase eggnog.

They taste better than they look, I promise. For some reason my family bake stuff on Christmas Eve. I’m stuck alone this year, but I did it anyways.

Also my house is all sideways due to a space-time incident.

That reminds me, there are a bunch of Doctor Who Christmas specials I can try to convince my wife to watch.

Well, really some of them aren't very good. Maybe I'll just go for the Scrooge one.

Prolegomena

I had one glass of wine earlier out of the bottle I was using for beef shin, was going to move onto beer but decided I didn't want anything cold so made some sort of hot spiced rum thing with milk and coconut oil.

Now may be whisky time.

It did take me two or three tries to not see that as a weird choice of refrigerator magnet.

I thought it was a weird fungus growing on the side of a wall

My wife is downstairs cutting slits in a large piece of tenderloin and inserting what appears to be an entire head of garlic clove by clove.

My breath shall wilt the Christmas tree.

Uriel

My mom just delivered a tray of Christmas treats.

Fudge and cookies in two varieties each.

I'm going to be drinking a bit of boilo, which is a Pennsylvania "coal region" honey liquor

Desserted

It does not feel like Christmas Eve day at all to me!

Won't be seeing family this year so I think I'm going to go hike around the mountains and smell some pine trees or something. Should be good!

It may be delicious but “Boilo” does not sound like the name of something I’d want to drink.

Uriel

I only have a bottle of cabernet from 19 crimes

I would pop it but I got nothing good to pair with cabernet

I my pick up something bubbly before new years though

Tef

Christmas Day, baybee!

Presents unwrapped, croissants cooking and mimosa champagne being uncorked as we speak. Life is good

Uriel

Actually how well would a cabsav mull? I don't have any cloves or ginger though either...

I just finished two days of cookie drop-offs to my friends around town, which had the added bonuses of having excuses to meander in driveways and covered building entrances to chat and catch up



Seemed like they really cheered folks up!

Made plans to mask up and walk my dog with a bunch of friends come January so hopefully I can get a little more social (safely) as well, and Ivy will be a fan I'm sure

Zonugal

My grocery store did not have any lactose-free eggnog.

They had it in October! But not in late December!

So, I will be substituting it for lactose-free chocolate milk.

Kelor

Home made honeycomb and then an amazing lunch and dinner on Christmas Eve. We managed to finish lockdown and get the state completely cleared in time, wasn’t sure if it would happen.




It’s been Christmas for six hours now, so Merry Christmas and have a great and safe holidays.

Tef

The spit is going! Chicken, pork, and lamb!

I have not drank it before

It sounds intriguing

This food blog of course sounds bout right, from how it has been described to me

Hell yeah Tef, such a better way of doing it than heating up the kitchen with the oven.

Cabernet sauvignon is an excellent base for mulled wine. Bit of apple cider and half an orange, stick of cinnamon and a few cloves and baby, you got a mulled wine going.

Skeith

Lack of a holiday forum is throwing me off. Still need to buy booze...

Lasbrook

I didn’t get any booze for Christmas, I’m gonna have to compensate with copious amounts of barbecue.

Kelor

We are still creating new forum for Christmas cheer aren’t we?

ChicoBlue

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Ha ha ha!

I have negative holiday cheer this year and I am a consummate scrooge at the best of times. So thats saying something.

Its rainy and I'm still in bed. I might get up and go get some cookie dough, egg nog and booze and slither back home to *maybe* bake the cookies. More n likely I'll just gnaw on the dough log like Gollum eating a raw fish in a cave, hunched up in the darkness.

Cello

I didn't really plan to want to drink on Christmas but folks, I do

I don't have specifically festive drinks but my bottle of cherry moonshine and soda water will do quite well

If we didn't, that'd line up with 2020.

Send the pic to yourself in Facebook messenger then re-save it!

Bam! It is under the proper file size AND it won’t be sideways!!

A Star to Guide Them is such a good episode of Hercules.

I'm cheerful because I've kissed someone recently and will get to kiss them in the future.

ChicoBlue

I'll bet it was Santa.

And "in the future" means TONIGHT because that's when Santa is coming to town.

Depressperado

I saw myself kissing Santa underneath the mistletoe and then I screamed as the TIME PARADOX ripped reality apart.

Moriveth

It's Christmas Eve over here and we're gonna head over to my parents house in a bit to open the absolutely massive amount of presents they've gotten for the kids.

There are a few there for me and Rachel, but it's mostly the kids.

Rorshach Kringle

i am at work and i refuse to be cheerful

I'm walking to a tea shop to buy some last-minute tea gifts
It's a sunny day and not too cold, and all the doggos are out getting walked. Good times.
