Merry Christmas 2017

I made pickles wrapped in ham with cream cheese, only I threw those three things in a food processor and made it into a dip.  It was a Christmas miracle!

I've started out the festivities reading X-4 and sorting socks!  

Merry Chistmas to all and may the Vikings fall! 

Merry Christmas to everyone at Times 4!!!

Happy Holidays,  heading out for a bit of fishing this AM, a liquor store stop on the way home, Badger vs GB buckets then the big show.

Enjoy!

I thoughtSarge was dead?

No the smell will fool you though.

Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kwanza, et al. I hope I covered it all for all you at X4! Looking forward to another year...

Party at cousins house tomorrow. Dinner at in laws on Christmas (Ham) which means today is the real feast. 

Prime rib has been salted and sitting out for 3 hours now. Should be ready for the hot box in about 3 more. Crispy roast potatoes. Sautéed spinach. Red wine au jus. Silly amounts of Tito’s and fresh lemon juice. 

It’s been a rough year for our team. Let’s try and hold it together. Things will get better. 

Whip a little purple ass tonight.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to the jolliest bunch of a-holes this side of the nuthouse!

When I make the ham roll-ups for treat day at work, a co-worker calls them "German sushi."

A Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year to all the ragtag bunch on x4!!   

Prime just came out of the oven. We almost had a "Bumpus Hound " incident though! 

I've been tasked with making tri-tip for the family. About 20 total.

Got mom & dad a new dishwasher for Christmas. It was broken for 3 years. That will help with the clean up.

Merry Christmas boys & girls!

You don't make the kids do the dishes?

Our family expanded roster size from 9 to 13 GK's this year with a block FA move adding 4 in a package deal. 

Sounds like our family last year - numbers and all.  Congratulations.  

Merry Christmas to all - and to all a good night!

 My Mom and my 2 Uncles got together and bought my Grandmother a new portable dishwasher 1 Christmas. They put a big bow on it, snuck into the house and placed it by the tree. It took up half the room. We were all excited to see her reaction when she walked into the room. She walks in and takes 10 whole minutes before she even sees it. We're all sitting around thinking WTH?

Right now Kiel is laughing quietly. 

Just uncapped the the Mogen David into my coffee mug of course, a lot quieter that way.  Trimmed the end off the roast and snapped a pic to family that it's burned and stop at McDonalds on the way.  

 Merry Christmas from the Rat Bast?&$

OMGOSH.....this my second favorite for snacks.....and food processed together even sounds better.  My first favorite snack is water chestnuts wrapped in bacon baked in the oven and with 5 minutes left to bake, put barbecue sauce on them for the finishing touch.  Yummmmmm.  Oh yah, Merry Merry and Happy Happy  to everyone on Timesfour.   

How long you bake them in the oven for?  Sounds delish.

Until the bacon gets done....10 - 15 minutes....depending on stove.....then 5 - 7 minutes with the BBQ sauce.  All the parties we go to everyone says we better bring those waterchestnut things and they are the first snack to go.  Usually do three cans of water chestnuts.   

Merry Christmas to the jolliest bunch of a$$holes this side of the nuthouse!

You so nailed it....I actually read that post to Mrs. Blair Kiel.

...and Maria gets half a day off tomorrow.

Enjoy the Holiday folks.....see ya'll in the game thread.....Mrs. Kiel ain't staying up to watch Dom's defense.

You'll want all day to-morrow, I suppose?" said Kiel. 

"If quite convenient, sir."

"It's not convenient," said Kiel,  "and it's not fair. If I was to stop half-a-crown for it, you'd think yourself ill-used, I'll be bound?"

The help smiled faintly.

"And yet," said Kiel, "you don't think me ill-used, when I pay a day's wages for no work."

“It ‘tis only once a year, sir”

"A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December!" said Kiel, buttoning his great-coat to the chin. "But I suppose you must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier next morning."

Hit the Mississippi Ice today, got a nice mess of giils, crappies, perch and 1 16 inch bass.  Going again tomorrow too.  

We are not having our family Christmas until next Saturday in Sun Prairie.  Got 2 new granddaughters this year that will be having their 1st Christmas. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all on TimesFour!!!!

Is Dom the first ghost to visit?

Merry Christmas y'all.

I swear a lot in real life, so I try not to when I'm posting.

Merry Christmas to ALL.  Except Brandon Bostic.  (There's still a hole in my wall thanks to that game!)

Merry Christmas everyone and a Super Bowl bound Packer team in 2018!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all you fine X4 folks! May you all have a prosperous and healthy new year.

I won't let it happen next Sunday

Merry Christmas to all of you. 

Watching Santa via NORAD....waiting....waiting...it's the hardest part.

Merry Christmas TimesFour.  A bit chilly here.  It's all relative I guess.

Shout out to my neighbour, Lynne, who just shouted "she's your mother, Steve, you wrap her ****ing present" before slamming the front door & is now sitting on her porch with a beer.

In the same vein....Many years ago at our office Christmas lunch.  It was in the office, everyone brought a snack or desert and the company catered in the meat, etc.  when the time came we all lined up to fill our plates. I was among the first and went back to my desk to eat.  The line went right by my seat. While I was eatin 2 employees who were the first 2 in line got back in to double dip.  One, a woman said, "what if there is not enough for all,  should we wait till all get a chance ?"

The man said this, during the peace on earth, good will to all season....." ****, em, think of yourself"

One of my favorite Christmas memories.
