SHell4747That's my favorite too! Tho I never have, I just like it ...platonically.

There were no feats of strength after those rum balls.
Kope4850@charlotteclymer Smoking a Prime rib in my smoker along with whole chickens and various veggies. I donβt use the smoker often but when I do I like to knock out a few different things while itβs going.

Ever notice that no one's boss ever says "Best thing is giving my hard-working employees some much earned time off"?
Sad commentary on American business owners

Seriously...exploring outdoors after a big snowstorm
JonyaP@charlotteclymer I'm another one going out for Chinese food, although I'm not Jewish. Very grateful that this tradition was started, though!
Christmas Eve is Captains and Coke and Die Hard, then maybe Constantine. Is that a Christmas movie? A Long Kiss Goodnight is another good choice.
Jrod_Plano@charlotteclymer we have three

Smirker@charlotteclymer watching The Thin Man and eating pizza on New Years Eve.
Mary Layton@charlotteclymer I've been watching "Love, Actually" every Solstice/Yule (21st Dec) for the last few years. And, m'husband and I always watch "Polar Express" on Christmas Eve. With hot chocolate, of course. My mom's coconut pie is a staple of the hols, too (I've low-carbed it, and it's almost as good as the original - hard to replicate that ready-made Pilsbury pie crust, though). :D
Ed SeedhouseSetting the thermostat a bit higher.
AryasBFF@charlotteclymer - these days we go to the beach between Christmas and New Years and my kid wears a wet suit and plays in the water all day. We invite friends who come for a night or two at diff times during the week. Itβs pretty chillβ¦
El Saltybananie@charlotteclymer Feast of the (usually more than) Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. Aka, "Fishmas."
Rachel Friend β°@charlotteclymer New Yearβs Eve, the first minute of every year is my fave!! Right at the stroke of midnight we have to run out the back door around the house and through the front while banging pots & pans, holding change, and trying to keep down the pickled herring chased with champagne πΎ π
PirateRo@charlotteclymer the arrival of spring.
@charlotteclymer lighting the Yule fire at sundown the eve of Winter Solstice, staying up all night tending the fire till sunup. Dies Natalia Sol Invicta! Happy Birthday to the Unconquered Sun. The meaning of all of it? We will survive the darkness. Which seems very comforting.
@MamaBear64 @charlotteclymer That's beautiful dedication.

Benny (he/him)@charlotteclymer
My mother's side of the family are Polish immigrants and we always feast on Polish food on Christmas Eve.
It's a big deal for me, because my grandparents decided to be "American" once they arrived here. The food is basically all that was retained.
Oh, and I can polka. But that's about it.
