Anyone else spending Christmas alone? First one for me; feels kinda weird.

Not alone but it's just me and the wife. We're normally at big family gatherings so still weird though. And two group FaceTime calls instead. Which kinda reminds me of work so I'm not a fan but I know it's important for others so I'll participate

Hope you have a good Christmas

Yeah, that's kind of our situation this year. Usually, we'd go to either mine or my wife's parents for the holidays. Definitely a no go this year.

We do have a friend coming over - a member of our covid pod (he gets tested twice weekly by the university my wife and he work at), who was otherwise going to be alone since he couldn't go back to CA.

Got two small ribeyes from a local butcher to cook up for the meat eaters, some asparagus dish to make, and some garlic mashed potatoes. Wife baked a yule log for dessert.

Merry Christmas! Will be quiet here as the sky is overcast so we’ll forego our traditional Christmas hike.

Husband, my adult son who lives here & our 2 cats. I used gift bags for presents and made a huge brown sugar ham, teaching my son how to time & prep holiday meals.

Merry Christmas Geekbabe. Let us know if you react to the vaccine shots. Our governor is moving older folks to the front of the vaccination line, so I hope it won't be months and months away for us. It's hard having to forego family Christmas, even for the sake of all our health. Hope you and yours stay safe for now.

Yeah.
Mom died last year and I was not able to visit anyone this year thanks to various restrictions. Pretty sure I would not make it back from Canada and I have job opportunities waiting.
