desoto1939 Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Well, on Sunday is Xmas Eve, and the real busy day will be on Xmas day for everyone that is hosting a family get together, with all of the food preparations and cooking the big turkey, the gathering in the morning around the Xmas tree and religious items and opening presents. But the most important aspect of the holiday is not the amount of presents or the cost of the presents or dwelling on what you wanted and or did not get from someone, BUT the true meaning of Xmas is the renewing of our faith, no matter what faith you have. It is the renewing of being kind to a fellow person or helping a senior citizen that is lonely because they lost a loved one this year or just being there to help a person get through the holiday season. Some people get depressed, and others get excited, but we all have mixed feelings. The time is very hectic, and everyone is in a hurry to get someplace. So, plan to leave extra time to get to your location, plan for those people in a rush, try to control the anger when the traffic is at a standstill. Getting upset will not make the traffic go away. It is better to be late to the party or family celebrations versus not arriving there at all. To many people get over tight and stupid things happen everyday. As we also prepare to start a New Year some will go out and celebrate, please be aware of how many people have been at parties. Everyone needs to reflect back on the previous year in 2023 and try to make changes to make 2024 a better year. Think about how you can be a better person and make changes to your life to accomplish these things in 2024. Life is a journey, so make the best of what each and everyone have, life is really short and when a loved one has passed during the last year remember them fondly because all we ever will have are the memories. Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to everyone. Rich Hartung 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidevalvepete Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Seasons greetings to you all. And some fine advice Rich. Being at the bottom of the world, just to the left of the International Date Line, it's summer and my Christmas day will start at 4.00am. Just over six hours from now up for milking. Ho ho ho!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithb7 Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Merry Christmas to all. Who here might try and sneak a few hours in the garage this afternoon? I likely will. Family arrives later! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Wilson Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Merry Christmas to all, and yes, like Keith, I will probably go to the garage for a couple of hours before my wife and I head to see her family nearby.

BobT-47P15 Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 YES.....some good thoughts there. We will have friends and relatives over for dinner Monday....will attend an evening church service tonight. Some light rain here in southwest Missouri so far....the Plymouth will stay in the garage. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Bob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely will not hit the shop or barn today, traditional Christmas with gifts and dinner is always on the eve at our house, grandparents breakfast at my son's house on Christmas morning so to see the grands with the Santa gifts.....NOW from there, I bet I will sneak out to play a bit...reworking a bay in the barn to maximize the usage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just eyeing up my garage now. Thinking about maximizing efficiency. Storage space etc. Wondering, how can I fit a 3rd car in here? I could fit it, yet working on anything would be painful. Shuffling cars around constantly. I quickly forget about it and move on. Yet a Model T coupe is pretty small. Right? See…Attention span of a gnat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Am constantly playing what I call 'musical cars' some of my work spaces are dedicated to x specific work and thus, either you shuffle the cars or shuffle away...

Happy 46R Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Merry Christmas to everyone and to all you celebrate it with. I spent a little time in the garage enjoying the +1C weather and getting ready for a little spreading of the Christmas spirit around town this afternoon. Professor Plum and I have about 13 miles planned at sunset to go up and down each street with carols playing and lights flashing. Should be a hoot, Dave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soth122003 Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Now you guys are just showing off, like the kid down the street who got all the cool toys for Christmas while you get new underwear.. Another car or two, please. Be happy with what you have. My garage is just big enough for me to change my mind in, so the only way I get something new is to move. Now GET OFF my lawn and SLOW down there's kids around. Harumph and humbug. Merry Christmas. Joe Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy 46R Posted December 25, 2023 Report Share Posted December 25, 2023 Update: Christmas Eve turned out to be just under the freezing mark, -2C with no wind, no rain, no snow and a great opportunity to spread some Christmas cheer. My wife, Daughter, Sister in law, son in law and myself drove every street in town and spent an hour and half waving, smiling and enjoying the evening. Even smiles and waves from the retirement center and local hospital. Merry Christmas! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
