The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

[N F C]

I, for one, am glad you are staying put, although I know it puts a crimp in your plans for Christmas. We're dreading the drive just to Billings today, and it's a balmy -11 degrees. The road report said that the road to Billings is "slick in spots". When you've lived here long enough, you know that that means "hold on to your knickers!"

Blooie, do be careful! Wish you were staying put today too but I know you have a lot of practice driving in these conditions.

Stay safe!

Indulge me....I feel like posting a link to the story of our family and our Charlie Brown Tree. A lot of you have read it already, but the lesson in it is worth the posting.

I think I know someone who got that sensibility.

Hey guys, sorry for busting into this chat like that but I have two questions:
Will there be a thread where we can show off our Christmas presents?
And where can I see pictures of everybodies Christmas cookies? Is there an extra thread for that?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like you all are going to have to put up with me today. We're staying home instead of trying to travel.

Anyone want a cookie? I have dozens.

I will send you my address...

Hi Wolfgang, Merry Christmas! You can see some of the stuff we made under Hatchalongs, the 9th Annual NYD Hatch along HAL Baking and Gingerbread contest. My gingerbread chicken coop is post #189.
Hope you get everything you need for Christmas!

Finally got the mac and cheese in the oven, took longer than I thought (I found one online) and it's a bit milkier than i thought plus was rushed at the end by family yelling me/trying to "help" but actually just getting in the way....

Anyway, it's probably not even good plus some people might leave before it's ready (hopefully not) but at least it's done.

Next time, if there is a next time, I will start much much earlier but it was also kind of thrown on me last minute.

Also I gotta shred the cheese beforehand or just buy shredded. I wasnt really thinking.

But gosh this is stressful. No wonder so many people hate the holidays

I've never had to make anything before, I just eat it

Now hopefully I can actually sit down and relax for a little bit.

Good luck with all that, I'm not a fan of all the hoopla either. Hopefully you can enjoy it a bit.
