Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Everyone has gotten off to bed in the traditional manner - much loud excitement, some fighting, some laughing, and tears. Ah, Christmas Eve.

I had a jar of raspberry jam from America that I'd been saving for four months for this very occasion. They are ... kind of amazing, if I can say that about my own baking. I can send you the recipe if you want it.bobtheenchantedone wrote:*gasp* Chocolate raspberry brownies??

My "adopted" brother spent Christmas Eve at our house with all of our crazy traditions. But when it got close to midnight, he totally bailed on Monopoly and made my brother drive him to midnight mass. He's not even super religious, which made the tradition all the more endearing.

You guys I own Nightmare Before Christmas Monopoly and Marduk owns Stone Age and all is right with the world.

It is. There are a couple of things I would have changed about it, but it's pretty fantastic. Especially the money. Each denomination has a different Jack face on it.thebigcheese wrote:That sounds awesome.bobtheenchantedone wrote:Nightmare Before Christmas Monopoly

I just finished a 3000-word story! And last week I wrote a 4000-word story! Yay! I'm so prolific.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
I had a whole slew of productive things that I intended to do over Christmas break, but I'm finding myself horribly unmotivated to accomplish any of them. Sigh...
Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Well, for one, we were playing Monopoly until 1am. And also the entire family was dressed in matching zebra-striped PJs... complete with tails. And we staged a Baby Fight between the three babies born in 2010 (that is a rather new tradition, though).Craig Jessop wrote:Wait, so what are some of these traditions?ahem. wrote:My "adopted" brother spent Christmas Eve at our house with all of our crazy traditions.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Our son got croup today, and Sauron is at the emergency room with him for the next several hours while they make sure the treatment works. They had me take baby girl home to keep her away from the germs.
Just wanted you all to know that I have a heck of a stalwart husband.

Oh wait, this is the random thread, not Encore. Sorry.

Re: Nine for Random Chatter, doomed to die
Heh, fitting statement as yesterday was the third day of Christmas. The twelve days of Christmas start on the 25th, they don't end on it, as some believe.bobtheenchantedone wrote:"On the third day after Christmas my mother caught the croup.
