Christmas Eve Eve Open Thread

Posted by: ST on December 23, 2009 at 12:04 pm

Update 12/24/09 – 8:44 AM: Sorry for the light blogging. Like most people right now, I’ve got tons going on prepping for Christmas. Will try to get up another post before Christmas Day. If I don’t get a chance to, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone – be safe.

Quick note: Senate Democrats have managed to stick it to the American people twice on Christmas Eve – once with the healthcare “reform” vote, and the other time with the vote to raise the debt limit. Just two more stark reminders of how we will need to fight even harder against socialism-lite in the new year.

(12/23) Ok, fess up: Do you have all of your Christmas shopping done?

    Nah just need to get some gift cards for some of the neices and nephews then I am good.

    Love the picture. Tooo bad in a few years, with all this global warming you won’t see snow in Washington DC ever again. :( – Lorica

    Bought the holly to decorate the house with and the wood pigeons to cook. Do I need to do any other shopping? From now till tomorrow evening I shall be baking. Yay! <:-p Happy Christmas to you, ST, and all on this forum.

  4. Same to you, Helen! Good luck with the baking :) I’ll be starting my cooking tomorrow night.

    How do you fix pigeon? Roasting?

    HAHAHAHA!!!! Riiiigghhhhttt Jimmy!!!

    Jimmy Carter’s recent apology to Jews for actions he acknowledged have stigmatized Israel is not timed to a decision by his grandson on whether to enter Georgia politics, the former president told an online Jewish news agency this week.

    Could this man be any more pathetic??? – Lorica

  9. Chris in NC says:

    Not even close ST, not even close.

    No, Lorica, he can’t. Here’s hoping that Georgia has become a bit more intelligent this time and will reject all things Carter…

    Work shut down early on Friday so I finished my shopping then. No one in the stores; it was the easiest shopping I’ve ever done. Getting home afterward? That was a bit less easy…

  11. Dante says:

    I expected to see RED lights on those trees.

  12. Dana says:

    I am not shopping for my darling bride’s Christmas present; I am making it. I have a century-old beveled glass mirror, and I’m framing it for her. Now let’s just hope I don’t foul it up, because there is no Plan B.

  13. JHTRazor says:

    The shopping is done, but I have to wrap the wife’s presents.

    Merry Christmas everyone!! :)

  14. Kate says:

    I bake most of my presents to my sisters and brother…mom and dad….traditional Slovak cookies that are tedious to make but soooo delicious! It keeps my grandmother’s memory alive.

    The nephews and nieces will get a little jingle for their pockets and help spur the economy on their own.

    Hope all have a very Blessed Christmas. And thanks ST for being so faithful to this blog site….I know it’s not easy to keep up with….Good Luck and God Bless!

  15. Helen says:

    Anthony, I intend to roast the pigeon with lots of extra pork fat inside and out. Shall report back on the result.

  16. Mwalimu Daudi says:

    Christmas shopping is never finished – only abandoned.

    Have blessed Christmas, everyone!

  17. NC Cop says:

    Merry Christmas to everyone and God Bless!!

    A very merry Christmas to all, with peace and love to all of any political affiliation or religious denomination. And my sympathies to those who are spending Christmas with their Democrat families (like me :/ :) ).

    My gift to all of you–most of them don’t vote :D

  19. Carlos says:

    We couldn’t get all the kids together until New Years Eve day, so will be celebrating New Years Day. Gives us a week to enjoy the after-Christmas specials, and stock up on next year’s ornaments.

    And just as an added (political) note, I’ll bet Duh-1 is glad Ramadan is over.
