Well, here we go... Thanksgiving is gone... the tree is up... and getting my gift shopping done (since Idk if Ill be in the hospital for xmas] early.
Im not a big fan of winter, or the snow amd cold, but my wife is, and making her happy is something I am into.
Other than the things she gave me on her wish list, I have no idea what to get her for xmas...
How about the rest of u... do u like this time of year? What do u get ur other half? What kinda plans do u have goin on???https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171127/e62a9622c2e5eead3ecc352a42a83f2b.jpg

This time of year usually drives me nuts with the stress and such, especially considering the kids change their mind 9 times after we have already got them stuff. i dont know what to get my other half, having a hard time with that one this year.
Biggest plan this year is to NOT run around christmas eve/day like we do every year and just more or less stay home. I am getting tired of going everywhere and seeing family i dont like lol

I got all the xmas stuff down from the attic yesterday and setup the outside lights. Snagged two new 300 count LED strings during black friday to add to my Griswold house. Xmas and winter is my favorite time of year :lol:
Got the family presents ordered up and gonna tackle the wife's stuff this week.
The only downside to the holidays is the driving, got the schedule all done up and this year will finally be spending at least Xmas morning at home with the wife before going out again.

My wife has been putting Christmas decorations out since the weekend before Thanksgiving. Her and my mother go banana's every year and it always involves me on a ladder. :|

Should do a secret Santa. Or has there been one? I wouldn't mind getting on that action. You know with a limit.

Christmas is pretty easy for me. I pass out money and take my old ass back to work to make more!

This was me lol
The conversation went something like "Ernie, we should put lights up this year and today is supposed to be nice." After all said and done I was the one on the ladder putting up lights in 35 deg weather.

So I got my wife a pretty badass present this year. She's a HUGE Walking Dead fan, and her "kitchen pass" guy is the actor who plays Negan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. His character carries around a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, named Lucille. McFarland makes a replica of this bat. That was the original purchase, until I ran across another one on line (Amazon of all places) that was autographed and certified by JSA, by the actor. She's gonna flip.

I think I did good.

Yeah, Santa is gonna be nice to the kids this year. Oldest is getting a new BMX bike, youngest is getting a Kindle Fire HD8, and the family is getting an Xbox One S in prep for a new TV in the living room (kids have been clamoring for one after playing our One in the master bedroom). This is all in addition to mommy and daddy presents. Figure we're doing good enough to spoil them this year.
