As for the BMW . . . that'll cost a bit more.

Not worrying about it this year. The daughter is having it at her house.....two whole houses down.

I get to bring the mashed potatoes and dressing.

I'm thinking instant mashed potatoes and Stovetop (instant) dressing..........
I grew up on Stovetop and instant potatoes!! mmmmmmmm

Some people like duck better for Thanksgiving! I mean Christmas? What are we talking about again??

I asked my wife yesterday what she wanted to have for Thanksgiving dinner and she said "Well, we're not going overboard this year - just turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, green bean casserole, and pumpkin pie." Well, that's a relief! Let me know if you folks can figure out what she has left off the list such that we're not going overboard.
She left off goat intestines wrapped around fat. Thatʻs a staple at the in-laws. As is roll-throwing, but only if Iʻm doing it. Iʻm the official roll-thrower. Iʻm very good at it. I take it seriously. The goat part delicacy I generously leave for others.

I just like quiet christmas... Just the two of us would be dandy. Though, it'll be a bit more busy this year, but luckily, my mother doesn't believe in elaborate christmas dinners. When I still lived at home, we'd have an elaborate christmas breakfast and a fairly simple christmas dinner (gourmet!)

For those wanting a seasonal way to escape the stress, "Winterbells" is a great little flash game.

After about 5-6 tries, I got 100 (after plenty of 10s!) and when it flashed "new high score! excellent" I decided to leave it at a good thing.
