And here is the Official Rocu tree for 2020! Nice tree, ‘Rocu ol’ boy! Khajiit went to Ye Olde Christmas Tree Farm Saturday and got a tree. We picked out a nice 4-6ft tree (sorry, I’m not doing the conversions) with a good little shape to it, cut it down, and had the farm folks haul it up to the buildings to be netted and prepared for travel back to our house. Well, when we got the tree off the roof of hour vehicle, turns out they gave us a 9-10ft tree instead of the smaller one we picked out. We now have to trim it down just for it to be able to fit in the house!  This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Dec 1 2020, 06:09 PM -------------------- "Family is an odd thing, is it not?

@Khajiit - Don't need conversion to know that 9-10ft is taller than 4-6ft
Also; pic?!?!?!  QUOTE(Acadian @ Dec 1 2020, 06:18 PM) Very festive and cozy looking! Thanks for sharing a pic of your 'rocu tree. You're welcome! I had to share or mALX would have started tapping feet... -------------------- Lol bird

I wasn’t sure if you were familiar with them or not. And you’ll get a pic as soon as we get it in our sunroom and decorated.

I normally gift my Brother with a Barnes & Noble card. Can't do that this year as we no longer have a B&N (tornado). I reluctantly decided to once again feed the giant and buy him two books on Pro Wrestling history off Amazon. It should arrive in plenty of time for the Holiday. (Also ordered, for myself, a 2021 British Steam Train wall calendar and a two-unit set of CPAP mask wipes.) I'll likely bail on our traditional Xmas-day restaurant meal together, as I did this T-day. Hopefully, this time next year it'll be safer to dine out, though I'm not banking on it, the US being what it is.

It dawned on me out of the blue this morning that I needed to compose and snail-mail holiday letters to the three individuals I've sent them to for decades. I surprised myself by having the project completed and in the mailbox prior to lunch. I also need to send a card to my bro. I'll pick one up at Wally World Monday, if I remember. That'll be it for me this holiday, unless my bro and I rightly or wrongly decide to meet and exchange presents.

I hope everyone is having a nice pre-Christmas time! I expect pics of Christmas trees and baking here; don't make me come over now and force you to post pics because... 2020!
The tree I got this year must be the best one I've had. Straight stem, a lot of branches and it's very nicely shaped. Usually I trim my trees so they get more coneshaped but I didn't have to do anything with this one Also; lussekatt!  -------------------- Lol bird

But yeah; please stay safe instead; and I will suffer along without the details of what you ate. As long as it is not a "Wowbutter Sandwich;" I will suffer in silence ...  (jk, staying safe is the most important thing where you are concerned). QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 6 2020, 03:19 PM) I hope everyone is having a nice pre-Christmas time!

They're kind of S shaped and usually have a couple raisins in them right in the swirl. Love the lil buggers.
Will get a pic of our sad little tree up in a minute. I think I need to move a few ornaments around but I cant be bothered doing it right now. https://imgur.com/a/Z1zoVxa Sakis tree. -------------------- And in the fury of this darkest hour
We will be your light You've asked me for my sacrifice And I am Winterborn |

I can't get anything big. No room, plus the cat will scale it like Everest.
