Getting ready for Christmas Eve dinner with my wife's parents.
What are you doing right now?

My nephew will likely succeed in picking off a few tree ornaments with his new slingshot before we can stop him. That's a family tradition - both, the wanton destruction and the countermeasures that always result in a foot chase, take-down, and in the temporary confiscation of the weapon. I'll get blamed for giving the slingshot to him. It's a good one. Hand-crafted with high-power rubber bands. No ammo. He will have to improvise using hazelnuts. Not that I would suggest anything like that. All I'm saying is there are lots of roasted hazelnuts and lack of ammo, and a clever brat. You do the stochastics.
Here, it will be a reenactment of Die Hard.

I plan on spending as much of Christmas in the kitchen with my earbuds in as I can. No one can complain if I'm cooking, right?

Going to all the stores before they close. Getting some stuff for dinner tonight and tomorrow. Mom is upset because she forgot about me when she was Christmas shopping and I only got one or two things. I told her it’s fine and I’m excited for the things I get to open. Maybe I can get that Apple Watch now lol. I already picked the one I want series 10 in silver 46mm GPS only no cellular. I honestly think she is a bit broke so I’m not going to be upset about anything even if I do have to wait a bit on the watch. I kinda feel a bit different this year because we aren’t going to anyone’s house tomorrow. We already did Christmas with grandma, sister and her family is sick so have to wait on that it’s going to be weird. I don’t think there has ever been a Christmas where we didn’t go to grandmas on Christmas Day. I’m going to be lost with all the free time I have tomorrow lol. We did buy a car today too so I might check things out on that.

I’m having a quiet night at home alone watching Netflix. Tomorrow night I’ll be having Christmas dinner with my girlfriend and her family (I already had Christmas dinner with my family on Sunday)
Watching 1951 Alistair Sims A Christmas Carol, one of our annual viewing traditions. Already watched The Bishop's Wife and Miracle on 34th Street, both also in b&w, the last 2 nights.
Just finished having Christmas eve dinner with the wife. Heading out of town until Friday.
Just finished cleaning up after Christmas Eve dinner, you know, the one with the 7 fish.
It's Christmas Eve, and I'm doing what I do every evening at this time: I'm stropping my kitchen knife and swearing a lot. I'm fed up. It's a 5-in. "Wusthof Classic" stainless steel utility knife, and it has zero edge retention.
Anybody care to recommend a better choice for a kitchen knife? I'm thinking VG-10 steel at a minimum. I do not need a medium or full-size chef's knife. Five inches works for me.

On what type surface are you cutting?
Getting ready to re-watch Home Alone, it starts in 9 minutes.
You're watching Home Alone together or alone?
Answer a question with a question . . . don't make me come over there.
Wooden cutting board.
Try a titanium cutting board. It's gentler on the stainless than wood or plastic.Answer a question with a question . . . don't make me come over there.

Together with the family, you filthy animal!
