Staying close here. Christmas Eve in town... Dinner with family and then back to the ranch. Perhaps some hunting, if the weather cooperates. Sometime around New Years, I think my son is going to come in and try to put some deer meat in the freezer for his family. No long trips. No really expensive gifts. Just celebrating Christmas with family and enjoying being free and alive.  What are your plans?

Just a day on the job like any other, except the gate stays closed for the day. Only three days out of the year we are closed. Xmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter.
Looking forward to a tasty meal and a gift exchange with the wife.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Staying home and hoping the airport doesn't call for bird control. I enjoy going there and shooting the birds but don't want to do it Christmas day.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

Fly 550 miles to Anchorage, drive 370 miles to Fairbanks, spend Christmas day, drive to Soldotna (130 miles back past Anchorage), spend 5 days there catching up with friends, relatives, & home stuff , then back to Kotz on the 2nd. Then rest up at work.... Friggen "vacations" the wife organizes are tiring!

Staying home. Wife and I are having our daughter and grandson over. Probably do a little shooting and/or rabbit hunting with my grandson behind my house. Then have a couple of cocktails, eat, eat some more and have another cocktail. In that order.
Fall seven times, stand up eight.

I'll probably be driving past your house en route from my sister's to my mother in law's about three in the afternoon! Getting ready for second season? I'll be out with the flint lock! Merry Christmas

We are down in the Miami place for the Holidays. My daughter and her family are on a cruise, and will be back in time for Christmas. They are going to be at my son in law's parent's place in Pompano Beach.
Wife and I will drive up Christmas morning, and join them for the day.
We will eat dinner there, and open presents.
Should be a wonderful day.

All three sons will be together here for a few days. Ham is ordered at Klein's Smokehouse for Christmas. Stuffed pasta shells are done and in the freezer that, with grilled elk Italian sausage, will do for Christmas eve. Bought the boys a few things, wife and I bought clothes and gear for next years hunt in Alaska. Watch some football, drink Bloody Mary's and martinis.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
