Reminds me of that Modern Family episode.... comb sheathes.

I LOVE the Bull Durham one. I saw the Durham Bulls with my dad as a kid and it was one of my best memories.

I'd like to see Just a Bit Outside do "The Steal" from the 2004 ALCS.

We watch The Grinch, National Lampoon's, and Elf. My grandmother watched National Lampoon's about 5 times last Christmas. It was on loop. I don't think she realized it...

Neat! Though I wish we could see a better After picture!

Pretty! I entered! :)

We get our tree on December 11 every year, my brother's birthday. We have friends over on Christmas Eve, and there's a lot of whiskey and Bailey's. After our friends leave we all open one gift. Christmas we sit on the floor and open gifts, then stockings. My dog and cat know it's Christmas - my dog walks through the wrapping paper piles (he likes crunchy things) and the cat watches from under the tree (she loves the tree). Then it's bacon and eggs for breakfast! The bacon usually gets burned. Then it's off to my aunt's for dinner.

This year will be a little different. Our friends that come over lost their dad two years ago and last year wasn't the same without him. My mother moved out of state and my brother and I will be spending the holiday with her, but our friends don't want to come up for Christmas Eve, unfortunately. It will be different but it will still be wonderful. :)

Best. Show. Every.

We've been doing the same thing year in and year out (at least 25 years, longer than I've been alive) but our family loves it and it never gets boring. We pack 30 people into my aunt's 200 year old farm house, and our meal is pot-luck style! We have too many people to sit at the table and eat, so we're casual and go back to the couch, or kitchen counter, or game room, or floor, or wherever we find a flat space to park it.

It sounds uncivilized, but it's fun, and I get stressed out by stuffy holidays in my Sunday best, so I really love our casual Thanksgiving (in jeans, of course).

Hm, my mom just moved to Massachusetts. Maybe I'll get her one for Christmas. Too bad she doesn't cook like, ever.

Spelling mistake aside, 5 minutes seems way too last minute to assess my beverage selection. I'd rather do it an hour before, in case I fogot something and need to run out to the store at the last minute.
