Searching "unwanted present" on market sales sites is both exciting (for bargains) and sad that people seem so selfish and entitled they are selling on presents.

@simon@social.sim.onl I don't think I bothered watching that one... Cher you say??

@peterdrake Turns out I was counting the 25th as part of it (which to me makes sense) internet rules say it ends midnight Christmas eve. So I did win!

@DrRacheal So I was half right! Yep. See it now. I look forward to photographic updates 😁

@DrRacheal Nope, just a post. Meanwhile, love that the moustache matches your hair in your other post 😛

@thoe Probably just me being pissy because Boxcryptor was free and exactly what I needed... It ia also 30% off right now, so that helps.

@trinsec It relates to how long you can get through December without listening to Last Christmas by Wham. I found these rules whamageddon.com/

@peterdrake Oh, I thought you won by not hearing it at all!

It has been a battle...but I finally lost or whatever you choose to call it. 4:24 pm on Christmas Day is not a bad effort.

After an hour drive, huge seafood lunch (at my folks') and then 5 more hours of driving (to get to in-laws) Christmas chill has begun.
Meanwhile, my 8 y.o. left a note to Santa to say he was staying at his Grandparents. (No address on the picture).

The holidays can be a really tough time. The advice I often heard was, "Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Help others. Get out of your head." It's perfectly fine advice, but unhelpful if the mere thought of interacting with people is overwhelming. Anyway, here's a thing I did one year that did help:

I bought a Cookie Monster costume, went to the airport, and waited at arrivals with a sign that said "COOKIE"

Didn't have to talk to anyone and boy did I get to watch people's faces light up.

@mguhlin Thoroughly recommend equal amounts of ground cumin and ground coriander to match the chilli powder

@peterdrake Just d/l Assassins Creed: Black Flag because I adore pirates and also need an epic escape game. Here's hoping!

OK, Noodler's Bulletproof Black, you are a boss ink. Perfect for holiday season packing lists.

@peterdrake No, just watched a video...intrigued but also looks on the edge of frustrating A.F. Haha. For some reason made me want to play Little Big Planet again!
