the end of 2022 is rapidly approaching .... what are your plans for Christmas and New Year's


for us, next to no traveling this year .... as has become a family tradition, for Christmas we will tow our camper 3 miles and set it up next to our oldest son's home .... our immediate family will collect there for Christmas .... Maureen and I will most probably spend New Years Eve by ourselves at home .... I'm usually awake to see in the New Year, Maureen may or may not make it

A quiet evening for Christmas AND New Years Eve is probable. Nothing to celebrate on New Years Eve except that 2022 will be behind us. This past year has been rather dreadful for me. Here's hoping better times are ahead.
HAPPY holidays to ALL!

I'm headed to SC, to spend Christmas with daughter and grandchildren. SIL is in Saudi til Spring.
I'll stop and hollar at Mark on my way through.
Most likely nothing for the first as of late, I'm usually a sleep before midnight.

I’m heading for FL for two weeks on Monday.

Stay home on the ranch, enjoy new grandson, kids live close by so they'll be over a bunch. Shoot my flintlock lots, and spend time sitting near the woodstove.

just took a look at our area's weather forecast for Christmas Day .... 53 degrees under a cloudy sky with 6 mph wind .... good chance of rain overnight .... contrasting that with the forecast of Estelline, SD where they are calling for a high of 25, falling to 8 degrees Christmas night with light snow ....

No plans to travel for us. Haven’t heard if our kids/grandkids are coming up from California this year. Between mom and dads work load and grandson’s basketball and granddaughter’s dance/stage activities they stay pretty busy. Son says that if they can squeeze a trip in this year it will be only for a couple of days.

New Years…ha ha ha. Nice thing about living in the Pacific time zone is when the ball drops in Times Square it’s only 9:00 pm here. That’s about as late as we ever stay up so that works.

No plans to travel for Christmas or New Years. We will be at our youngest son's house on the 18th for an early Christmas and then home. Last year we made a prime rib for Christmas dinner and mostly likely do the same this year. As much as we love seeing the family, sometime it's nice just to have a dinner for two.

We will be spending the Christmas holidays with our brand new Grat Grandaughter here in town. All 5 of my daughter's kids will be home. My eldest grandson will be back from Scotland with his scottish wife. They are still trying to figure out whether they will live here or Scotland. My son and his brood will probably go to Colorado to go skiing. Last year my son was snowboarding and tryiny to catch some air and tore the he!! out of his right knee. He was off from work for six months. Had a famous ortho that put him together. He is also the ortho for Houston Oilers.My son is not a patient guy, but he followed Drs orders and rehabed his knee. He is also back to almost 100% now.
EVERYBODY please have a Safe and Wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Christmas with daughter here. Son will call sometime from Illinois between then and New Year. He will be glad 2022 will be gone. Going thru a divorce after 30 yrs.
New years eve I will be up as usual as I usually don't go to sleep until after 12 normally

ps. I usually celebrate with a small glass of Baileys by myself. Wife is asleep by then.

Pre-Christmas visit to grandkids and parents. Them home here for Christmas with rest of our kids.

looks like it is going to be a cold Christmas in our part of the country .... looks like we will have to move our camper and set it up on Wed the 21st .... with rain on the 22nd and the four letter word s_ _w the next, there is no way we want to tow our camper over soft ground .... our truck has many good points but operating it over slick surfaces isn't one of them .... doing so is a recipe for quickly getting stuck

Drive to don’s house on Thursday & Friday for a Christmas there, on way back stop and have Christmas on Saturday and drive back home, go to Midnight mass with daughters family. Sunday Skype with son in Denmark, meal with daughters family.

New Year’s Eve not much, go to town watch fireworks, wife and I will toast each other at midnight.

I'm here in SC visiting the youngest and the grandchildren.
Be here til the first.
Merry Christmas to All.

the chance of rain mentioned above for Thursday has been elevated to 97% .... night time low for Friday the 23rd is 19, for Christmas Eve is 21, and Christmas is 20 .... while much of the county is in store for much lower temps, that's pretty low for this time of year in our area

You never know who you’ll run into on a woods walk. Merry Christmas to all.
