Saw this article a few minutes ago. I thought we went overboard with 3 to 4 trees in our house. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/community/brighton/2017/12/22/christmas-tree-house-brighton-michigan/963150001/

Ya it seems to be making it's way around. Got some meds today so hopefully that knocks it out.

We picked up the last gift last night. Had to get a gift card for a sporting goods store for our nephew. Baking isn't finished, everyone here has ended up sick, started with wife, then to daughter and then me. Somehow I ended up with the worst of it. So baking will most likely get finished tomorrow if everyone is feeling up to it if not then on Christmas eve. Stupid weather

That looks like a good amount of presents for me, what about everyone else?

Looks like we are down to a gift card for our nephew, and a few things for some people my wife works with and then buying is done. Going to bake a couple things today then my sister and wife are finishing that up Wednesday. I will be wrapping the last few things today then we will just have things mentioned above.

About 50% done on the baking, should be finished by Wednesday. Shopping is at about 95% complete, wrapping is about 80%. We are on track to be done by Wed/Thurs this year. No shipping needed we are going out of state to visit after Christmas so will take them with us.

We have done Grinch Cookies, EggNog Cookies, PB Cookies, Magic Bars. Still have Chocolate Chip Cookies, Pecan Tassies, Mini Cheesecakes, Sugar Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and a couple others I can't remember right now. Will do a couple tomorrow then finish up on Wednesday night.

Should be easy enough to do. If you think the HDD's are on the way out and they are SATA/IDE based just run the software to see if they are kicking up errors it monitors the SMART controls. If you are seeing ANY errors it's only a matter of time before one day they just make a head slapping sound and it's all over.

Wow have to love that. Wish they would email me the same thing. I would grab the movie also lol.

I saw a few of the peppermint kiss ones where the kiss melted down the side. I think they need to be sent to me in order to make sure they are ok for others consumption. I'm always willing to take one for the team to make sure others are ok.

I almost drooled on the keyboard for my new laptop.

It's the craziness of both of them that make them such fun to watch. Need all sorts of Christmas movies to make the season complete.

We watched Christmas Through the Decades last year. Will have to watch it again. We have watched a lot of Christmas movies lately. Have watched Elf at least 3-4 times. Tonight it's time to watch A Christmas Story again.

All in the person, some people care some just don't. Always nice to hear when someone get's one that does.

I got a 30%.

Should just eat them and then make more.

Ya I don't think you will see anything as for sales on it for a while.

It's a lot more than than this one at Walmart but try out the AtmosFX, very cool system.

I picked up an iHome Smart Outdoor plug from Home Depot to add to our system. It's controlling the power to our Christmas decorations, so far pretty cool.

Charlie Brown, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy's right. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest.

Wow that's not good.

Amazon seems to have some decent deals on them now. The Carhartt website also has a couple of special along with a deal for their bucks.

No doubt there. Few weeks back Sam's had a good deal on them and pecans. I picked up a bag of pecans for the Sweet Potato Casserole I do on thanksgiving.

I guess you were right, Linus. I shouldn't have picked this little tree. Everything I do turns into a disaster. I guess I really don't know what Christmas is all about.

White Chocolate Macadamia cookies are some of my FAVS.
