Lemon Curd sounds pretty Good Goddess.

Looks like the Midwest snow storm jumped the pond last night. About an inch down on the ground now. Snow blower usage SMT? You sound like my aunt up in the U.P. I Pointed out a snow blower in the PX the other day to my son. It was a small one. My dad has a monster one that he's had for almost 20 years.

I just use a shovel and a wife and kids to keep the drive way clear.:devil:

Ugh! 12 inches of blowing snow! Oh...I do have the largest snowthrower on the block. Yes, I'm compensating...LOL! Two-stage, multi-speed...it's a beast!
No kids and my soon-to-be no husband isn't allowed to touch my snowthrower. Although a wife may be in the future!

Curiouser and curiouser as you open like a lotus to us SMT. I'd think wearing your shoulder out on whooping the husband would be fine for a dull cold evening.

I think my neighbor got guilted into shoveling our snow.

Now, it does get cold in teh desert, and I have had snow in Iraq and of course in Afghanistan. So, lets adjourn to the club house here at the oasis and see what fun we can find with bear skin rugs, spiced wine and a nice fire place. Let the wind scream and howl out side, lets here what can whistle, snap, moan and shout in here!!

Bear skin and rabbit fur on your warm skin?

Wine any one?:devil:

Warmth AND liquor! Yes please! It's six below zero (F) right now! That should be illegal!

Well, come on over here, by the fire, and get toasty. If the Army has taught me anything, it's that two naked people in a sleeping bag are warmer than one. It's in the manual, look it up.
 
Making some more shortbread. Ready to take a shower and clean off the flour and icing sugar. Maybe have a rum and eggnog.
 
Did I mention the punch bowl in the corner with egg nog spiked with 151 rum? or that there is a peppermint/ chocolate fountain with chunks of sweetbread to dip into it?

Oh yeah, the beer fountain is over here.----> It's Eisbock so be cool.;)
 
I'm going to be swamped tonight and tomorrow, so.................

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I hope you all have a terrific day, wherever you are and whoever you're with.

:kiss::rose::heart:

I'll take some of that rum punch. Sounds like something in a Dickens story lol.
 
I love Boxing Day when I get it as a holiday. A day to relax after the big feast day or if your brave to go shopping for deals. I will be working a short shift then off of work for s bit.

What is Boxing Day celebrating? :)
 
Dunno, I was just being polite. I think it's where they get rid of their boxes.

Or maybe where they spread open the boxes. I'd like that. A little, "come get this". I am a purveyor of Boxes. I can crush the wet ones all day.:devil:
 
Merry Christmas everybody!

For Christmas I bought a house (I kid you not LOL!) So I am going to be even scarcer than usual if you can believe that! It's a grand old house built for a big family and I fell in love the moment I entered it. It has five bedrooms and a separate floor just for the three girls...I kid you not. Anyway I am very excited and my closing date is the end of January (eep!!) So I will be crazy busy for the next little bit packing and such but I wanted to wish everyone and especially dearest Rose a very merry Christmas!

That is great news!!! We are having our first Christmas Day in our new place. Been here since mid September.
 
The day the rich gave gift boxes to there servants, Mostly celebrated in Commonwealth Countrues. In Europe it is called second Christmas Day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day

Now it is a day of great sales and parties and potluck. The day friends and neighbours come over for a party.

Leave it to the Common Wealth to find a way to extend the Party!!! It makes sense too. Christmas day with one set of in-laws or friends and Boxing day with the other set. Saves time and trouble.

Enjoy the Lead for your Head!! I was just talking to the wife about how modern music, top 40, Dub step, techno and all teh rest is disposable, no more classics like " Stairway to Heaven", " Baba o Reilly", "Pinball wizard"," behind blue eyes", "Dazed and Confused", "Paint it Black", "Sympathy for the Devil" " The Devil went down to Georgia"or any of a hundreds other songs have stayed around for generations. I think even the Beatles are fading away with this generation. ( Thank God, I didn't like 'em)
SO Crank it up to 11 Goddess and JAM some 'Zepplin for me.:devil:
