Freak's the last Friday before Christmas admittedly off topic thread

I always catch flack for this, but i don't really like turkey. Ham > turkey

cosigned. But in reality I don't care that much for either. I'd rather have a regular meal. When I went home for Thanksgiving, I asked for soup beans and cornbread while I was visiting the parents. Soup beans and cornbread>>>>>>>>>>>>>> traditional Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter meal.
 
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my wife's family in Oklahoma and then traveling back to East Tennessee on the 26th to spend time with my family. Lots of miles and worth every one of them.

Freak thanks for what you do for all of us Vol fans and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.
That's a long trip from Oakland to Knoxville. You flying, I hope?
 
we do a beef tenderloin for X-mas

I read the letter to Santa my daughter wrote in school yesterday, she can be so obnoxious some times, but the letter was super sweet..

She asked for an Ipad mini, for her, Swamp Force for her Brother, jewelry for her Mom, and a stuffed dog for me..

I have no idea where the idea for a stuffed dog, for me came from.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas

Stuffed dog is a delicacy in some parts of the world. :)
 
I get off Tues, Wed. & Thurs so I'll be headed to see the parents after our safety brief on Monday. Hoping Monday is a short day so I can hit the road early. Playing golf and getting my flat tire fixed for the weekend. Already watched Grinch, Christmas Vacation, Rudolph and Frosty. Still need to catch Elf, a Christmas Story and Charlie Brown.
You've been busy. And how could I forget Charlie Brown? Another solid choice.
 
My wife starts watching the grinch the day after thanksgiving. I'm sure I'll see about 10 more times this year. We cheat and open presents on christmas eve night. Go to her families about 5 then back to our house with my whole family after that. Christmas eve is all finger foods. Then christmas day we go to my grandmas for big christmas meal and play bingo for little prizes.
 
Where can I find some smokey grey hats. Been to lids, football fanatics, & sports seasons with no luck

Pheasant is greater than both. Roasted over an open pit fire if it isn't raining, in the oven if it is. Stuffed with drained canned peaches, diced and mixed with lemon grass to lend a moistness to the meat. Served with a buttered garlic and crushed rosemary sauce. But it just isn't right without cornbread muffins, mashed potatoes, steamed baby broccoli, bitter turnip greens, and cream corn. It usually takes 4 pheasants to satisfy everyone here, though. For the kids, cinnamon laced ice sweet teat. For the grown ups, Blue Nun riesling wine poured into glasses half filled with crushed ice.

I wanted buffalo rump roast this year. but got out voted, so pheasant it is.
 
For the past 35 or 40 years on Christmas eve I am on standby for phone calls to Santa (me) from the young ones in the family.Always fun to hear the excitement in their voices.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!!!!!!!
 
We get up early and read the Bible story of the birth of Jesus first. Then we open gifts and go to Kentucky for a few days where I'm from. Merry Christmas!
 
Been a good holiday season thus far for me and my family even though Christmas isn't officially here yet. We decorated our home inside and out..Well ok..Just me because I choose to do so. My hubby didn't bring the big tree out of storage and drug it to the porch to make it easier. Sent out cards as usual. Finished up the majority of the Christmas shopping last night and wrapped 'em up. Going to the living Christmas tree today. Family on Christmas Eve and the same on Christmas Day. Then some out of town traveling.
 
Our family Christmas tradition is to shoot fireworks every Christmas Eve. I work late Christmas Eve night this year though and won't be able to make it in to town in time for that this year.

Headed to both East and Middle TN to see each side of the family.
