Annnnnnd that’s pretty much it.  Merry Christmas!  And God bless us, every one.

Visiting three houses today.  And then not going anywhere for a couple of days.  Everybody have a Merry Christmas!

PS: Have one anyway.

It was a very nice day with family, both today and yesterday. Prime rib again today, and oh my but it was as good here as the one my mom made. See?

Alas, no mushroom sauce for it today. No room in the kitchen. For that matter, no mushrooms.

Merry Christmas, folks.

The first wave of presents (my side of the family) has occurred. Dinner was prime rib, with a nice little mushroom sauce that I put together, to the shocked expressions of my sisters (they remember my cooking). Now everybody else is drinking salted caramel vodka martinis and I’m dragging my stuffed butt to the Chromebook to wish everybody a safe and merry Christmas. God bless you all, and I’ll see you tomorrow.

PS: Half a stick of butter, slice up the mushrooms and saute them on medium heat until they’re nicely browning and producing liquid. Salt, pepper, garlic, onion to taste; then take some beef broth infused with au jus mix, combine, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer once it thickens a little. It’s not difficult, but you have to stir it regularly.

Car ride tomorrow.  Two sets of in-laws, which means that the toys will probably permeate the entire carspace and then get put into the overhead soft carrier bag.  Or whatever that’s called.  Bottom line is, the car will probably be riding low on the ground on the trip back.

This isn’t ‘see you next week,’ but in case it is: see you next week.  And Merry Christmas for those of you who celebrate it, and enjoy the winter break for those of you who don’t.

And for some reason this one feels like it’s more running-around than usual.  I don’t know why; maybe it’s because the kids are older. Or something.  Anyway, posting will be getting sparser and sparser this week until the actual Christmas weekend, whereupon it will mostly disappear.  Now that I’m no longer doing The Thing That I Used To Do, my wife has gotten perhaps a touch less indulgent about me nattering on on the Internet while we’re visiting relatives.  Besides, the Chromebook I have is so slooooooooooow these days.

…Feels like there should be something more to finish it up. Oh, yes: happy holidays to all of you, and have a stress-free Christmas.

PS: I’m still going to be posting this week, mind you.  But late night is primo present-wrapping time for me.

Hope everybody got what they wanted: I certainly did.

And I hope everybody has a good Christmas Day, too.

Have a peaceful, happy day.
