Nah, I hauled Fish Wife (who is down to one arm after shoulder surgery) in to her Mom's place (which is handicapped accessible, good for both MIL and my parents) to put a prime rib in the oven for her there in time to cook for lunch for both sides of the family. Fish Wife's not allowed to lift over a pound with her right arm for another month or so.
Then we came home and decided to wake Gallus Jr. up at 0900. His little sister beat him out of bed by maybe an hour.

Seeing as those Coronas are probably still in your workshop fridge, give Young Gallus one on me.

My Christmas present 2009 was a diagnosis for life threatening rectal cancer.
We had plans to visit my son and family in San Antonio but called the whole thing off and shut the blinds and stay home.
After surviving bladder cancer for 6 years it was just too much to handle - I didn't want to see or talk to any one.
I was wrong and ashamed of myself when my best fishin' buddy, who happens to be my personal physician, called and gave me a kick in the butt and told me to load the wagon and celebrate Christmas with my family.
I dutifully obeyed and he called me Christmas eve with good news that CT scan was clean and cancer had not spread.
That was the best Christmas gift ever ...... until this morning ....
I am up early in good spirits and good health - my sweetheart is still in bed awaiting her first cup of coffee.
The turkey will soon be in the oven, the pies are baked and two of our sons and two grandsons will soon be here to spend the day with us.
This will be my best Christmas present ever, and I am thankful for my family and all my PondBoss and fishin' buddies!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL!

Good news George! Glad to hear the CT scan came out favorably.
I took Santa Clause to jail last night... OK, well it wasn't really Santa but he was a drunk driver over twice the legal BAC limit dressed as Santa. I like to think maybe I saved a couple people's lives early this Christmas morning. Merry Christmas and good night... Back to work this evening, the wife and dog are out of town so it's eerie quiet at home which should make for some good sleep!

Travis, since I retired, last night was my first Christmas Eve off in six years. Keep safe out there. Have a good sleep time.
Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

Life is the gift we celebrate today. Renewal of a life fallen from grace is the best gift of all. That is the lesson Scrooge learned and lived out the balance of his life on that principal. In the balance of his life well lived he helped many including Tiny Tim.
Grace and Peace to us all.

As we celebrate the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ, we take time to celebrate our friendships and families as well.
Merry Christmas dear Pond Boss family! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! George, that's great news. I think I'll be going down your way this Spring, maybe we can get together again, this time near Sulphur Springs?
Travis and the stick, I don't know how you put up with the idiots that you saw every day. Travis, stay safe out there!

A belated Merry Christmas from my clan...We're near the central Jersey shore. We're enjoying the first couple inches of the forcasted 12-14" to come over the next 24 hours. It's beautiful today...probably not so much tomorrow!

Time to revive the PB Christmas thread. It is worth a read or re-read.
Best wishes and blessings to all of you during this special time of year. May we all be redeemed like Scrooge.
