Merry Christmas everyone!

My 3 year old was up first, and made a beeline for the breakfast cereal. Hasn't yet checked if Santa left anything last night.

Sounds like their priorities are in order 😆

Merry Christmas everyone, and thanks for keeping lemmy.nz going Dave!

I could hear ours rummaging around, discussing the letter left by Santa and the amount of presents, while I gradually came to. Was fully expecting them to rush in at some point to get us out of bed, but no. When I worked up the strength to get up, I found them both eating cereal, fully dressed, with their hair brushed. Little angels ♥️

Meri Kirihimete to our lovely little community.

Similar timing in my house by the sounds of things! Merry Christmas one and all

Merry Christmas!

The cats really upped their present game this year - a puke in the laundry, and a puke on the coffee table (looks like it was gifted while running, given the impressive spread). I'm not very grateful. Good thing they're cute!

Merry Christmas! My Mum often gets presents of half a rabbit (wild hare) and entrails spread across the room. I feel lucky not to have a cat! At least the dog will clean up is own puke.

[–] Albatr0ss@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Oooof, yeah at least this 'present' was just cat biscuits that were likely just gobbled up too quickly, rather than anything that was recently alive. Small mercies!

For Christmas I got food poisoning, yay. Not feeling too miserable but a bit guilty that we've now left Mum on her own when she loves all the hype of the day. Have rescheduled for tomorrow when a few more family members will be able to make it.

Thanks :) So far it's been the most chilled, laid back Christmas of my life.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Merry grinchmas!!!

Take a bit of time away from the rush everyone, take your time driving and please don't drink and drive. It's just not worth rushing.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Went out to a friends for lunch which was great.

Hope everyone had a nice day 🍸💚

Merry Christmas team, have a great day

Morena folks,

The great thing about teens is it's all mellowed out a bit (and they're still able to reach back to the earlier nostalgia and excitement), so it's been very chill.

Big shindig this afternoon, though!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas 🎄 we were supposed to have a no gift Christmas because there's no kids anymore but someone always ends up bringing gifts and then everyone else feels bad cause they have nothing to give in return.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Did my first ever BBQ today, vege sausages for me and pork for the rest of the family. There were a few hiccups on the way but daughter said they were the best sausages ever so I think that's $300 well spent.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 10 months ago

😆 I'm pretty sure they're talking about the BBQ, but now I'm wondering what $300 sausages taste like. Probably worse than $10 ones.

Belated happy christmas everyone!
