I wish Christmas had the same gravitas it did when I was a kid, but - alas - the only thing left of the word "Christmas" any more is the last three letters..."mas"...which in Spanish means "more", as in...more commercialism, more lip service given to the idea of "peace" and more food and football on TV. I just read today that some Ozempic users want to "go off" the injectable drug for the Christmas holiday, so they presumably can consume "more" food during the period. |

I wish you all a Happy Christmas, a chance to step out of the hurly burly, have a great family/friends time, a chance to catch up, some joy and laughter, banter, good food and maybe even at some point, some momments of peace!. May God bless you. |

I'm fortunate enough to have nieces and nephews who have given me great nieces and nephews. One set are a girl and boy, 5 and 4 years old. The other set are twin girls who are 7. Watching them during this season is enough to make me believe in Santa Claus, too. At least the concept. Happy holidays and safe riding to all. |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #10 Well, breakfast consisted of pastries made in France and Der Franz coffee roasted in Vienna. Some cheap Italian wine is going into the gravy to be served with the 30 day aged Black Angus top rump beef from a UK source. Cosmopolite, moi. Just have to resist drinking the red wine as I have to drive to my brother's with the beef and gravy this afternoon. It's less than a mile but don't fancy walking there with a hot casserole dish full of beef and gravy. I'll probably walk home, not necessarily in a straight line.

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #3 I typed a lengthy response to this…largely in agreement…then reconsidered after reading it. So, I’ll just say, “Merry Christmas.”

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #12Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #10 Steal the pram from the young couple down the street. It's great way to carry stuff. On our last holiday, Thanksgiving, my wife registered us for a local 5K run/walk. Overcast with light rain and in the mid 30s, 400 people without better plans started up and down the two-hill course. At the start of the second hill, I still had some dignity. Yes, that really fit Octogenarian blew by me, but I had no problem with 20-something computer nerd. The 30-something mother pushing the double stroller crushed my spirit, as she went by, but she looked like a runner. However, the 20-something mother with the new-born in a sling didn't have a runner's body and she was leaving me in the dust. That was a kick in the groin. But, I did pass the grandmother running/walking in hiking shoes, and, for a while, I passed the grandfather pushing a stroller. He was big guy, likely an ex-athlete. In the end, I wasn't the slowest person in my age bracket. That honor went to a local Vespa rider. Old Forum Orphan |
