What are you doing for Christmas? (2021 edition)
« on: December 25, 2021, 04:30:15 pm »

Today, like the previous year, I would like to ask you what did you for Christmas.

As for me, due to my younger brother having been infected by COVID, we had to receive way less persons, and my pregnant elder daughter couldn't come at all.

I did bugger all for Christmas day. Due to some family estrangement, I ended up spending christmas Eve at my best friend's place instead. I marinated some steaks and had a nice dinner, and then we watched Oldboy which was a good korean movie.

It was pretty low-key this year due to Covid. I had a better celebration than my family at least. They had to cancel their flight due to Omicron. I feel sorry for them honestly. We may have issues, but nobody deserves to have their Christmas ruined.

No body came over for Christmas this year do to random non COVID things so it was just me and my parents, but we still had a decent time, watched Godzilla and a Christmas movie.

I'm trying to figure out how to make milk foam on the new machine I got the wife.  The espresso I can do well... but my foam is... fail foam so far.

Otherwise we're just recovering from a hugely busy Christmas week at church - involved in too many services, but it's a good tired.

Trying to balance out getting the kids presents they will enjoy with the real "reason for the season", which is probably my biggest personal struggle because I think my kids are spoiled and I get frustrated when they are always asking for more, despite the fact they have more than 99% of the kids on the planet.

Also survived hosting dinner at our house this week, although we still have about 4 pounds of ham leftover.

I shoveled ~3 inches of snow on Christmas day.
