Happy Holiday You Choose To Celebrate! From Ramblingmoose!

I know it sounds like ThA CuLtUrE WaRZ! but not really.  I have friends of all races and religions.  Some are not of any religion. 

Happy Holidays.  "Whichever Holiday you choose to celebrate" is what a friend of mine has been saying lately, and I'm amused at it.  The complexity you have to go through in order not to offend these days.

Meh!  I even had a Festivus pole in the yard and I find the show it came from at best, tiresome.  The story is amusing at least.

Anyone who wants to celebrate whatever holiday, and I'm in.  Tell me the rules, it's all about making others and yourself happy.

Personally, I'm looking forward to January 2 so we can all stand down.

My kitchen is chock full of cookies, candy, chocolate.  At 4:45AM I was beginning to wake and was debating what to do with the day.  It is an "off" day for me.  Non Workout day, if I can keep the schedule going.  I thought it a good day to bake some cookies like the ones I sent off to my Sister the other day.

Walked out to that full kitchen to feed Mr Dog, and nope, that idea flew right through the Hurricane Glass.  Making more cookies would be pointless, I stopped myself from setting out some butter.

On the other hand, I'll get some bread made since if I do it today, I won't have to do it tomorrow when we settle down to make some Boeuf Bourgignon.  That's our own holiday ritual here.  I don't know how we got into that particular recipe and dish, but for the holidays, it's warming and rich of flavor.  There will be plenty for the week and extra for the freezer.  It makes a lot and uses the pressure cooker well.

Oops, that Pork that I barbecued earlier went into the freezer.

There is a neighbor who may be home alone, so we will check in on him, perhaps with a bit of the Boeuf.  I'll have to see how the cook feels about that particular idea.

Tomorrow is Xmas, can't really go to the park then, and Friday is a Vet appointment so I'm off the workouts for the week.  Can't really eat more cookies, can I.

That seems to be my plans for the holiday.  My feet are up on the coffee table, and I have my "Save The Manuals" bumper stickers for the 23 year old Jeep.  I vastly prefer driving a stick shift, much to everyone's disdain around me.  It keeps me honest, can't have a four course dinner driving a stick shift, can we?

So do have a good holiday.  However you choose to celebrate, whichever you choose to celebrate.
