I just wanted to take a moment to wish my fellow ETS'ers a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! I'll be watching Die Hard and waiting for Santa tonight. I hope you all have a good one. grin

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all.

We've got the DVR programed to catch the movie channel that's showing Die Hard on Christmas day around 2PM. Turkey, potatoes, gravy and green bean casserole are on the menu. A drop of Bailey's in my cup tonight and I'll share it with Santa when he shows up!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
The traditional Christmas meal is fried sausage and potato salad with mayonaise. The traditional movie is "We´re no angels" (the 1955 version).
The weather is nice enough for a ride on my motorcycle.
A special thanks goes to the sheriffs for their time and efforts.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas. Mostly I’ll be chillaxing, maybe watch something stored on the DVR — Vikings, Killing Eve or maybe something brutal having to do with British royal history...

Merry Christmas to all. As usual, we have family together, we hosted single soldiers who could not go home, and we supported a homeless shelter. Trying to bring something to those in need and give back something. I thank you all for the good discussions and varying ideas and points of view. You may not realize how valuable that is.

Hope all had a great Christmas. This year, for traveling logistics, Christmas was on the 24th. Yesterday the (25th) was outdoor adventure time and were rewarded with great views and winter sunshine with temps of a balmy -12F to bring this Christmas to a very memorable close.

I presume you are being paid for your work, unlike many of my former colleagues in the National Park Service, who either were kept away from their jobs, or have been working without pay (although Congress will most likely give them pay retroactively).

My most memorable Xmas eve was the year I stood guard in Korea - a bit on the nippy side, but at least no shots were fired.
