That sounds nice crow, always good to have family, that's for sure. I started Xmas shopping a couple weeks ago, I'm usually pretty good at getting it started early because I hate getting stuck in crowds. Ugh ... just the thought ... My daughter's getting a LOT of gifts, which is the advantage of having just one child; I can focus on her, and so can all her aunts & uncles. Grandparents, etc. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to shop for .. let's say .. more than two. Urk. I was debating whether or not to get Minecraft for her. I'm not so sure. She's going to be 12 soon. I am interested in Minecraft myself, but I simply don't have time for it. So I start thinking it'll be good for her, but as I start to read about it, I'm not so sure. I don't know if it's too "adult" or not, what do you think? We'll probably go to my sister's place on Xmas day. She lives in the country, next to a horse farm. Is it off-topic to talk about egg nog? That's always a Chirstmasy sort of drink. Usually in America we start seeing egg nog at our markets right around Thanksgiving (last Thursday in November), but this year I noticed some right around Halloween! Edit: that's a nice commercial. Love the lighted Coke trucks. This post has been edited by Renee: Dec 2 2015, 01:32 AM

I reckon Minecraft would be fine for a 12-year-old, but it all depends on your daughter and what other stuff she's into. I was playing all sorts of games when I was 12, but I know other people whose parents were much more strict with that sort of thing. Minecraft is rated as being suitable for 7+ by PEGI, and for 10+ by ESRB, and I think that's fair. There are different modes in the game, so you could always limit your daughter to the 'Creative' mode which is purely focused on building and exploring.

QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 1 2015, 05:10 PM) By the tail of the arctic fox, I still love this commercial!! Also... Dean Martin *sniff* So, anything going on this year for you guys? Any special plans or so? I think weīre gonna have a regular Christmas over here, just at the new place my parents moved to. Itīll be nice, my mom is really good with both decorations and food I've never seen that commercial before, that was very cute! I am not great with decorations, usually leave it to the men-folk to handle while I cook, lol. Plans = get in new house by X-Mas. I'm trying and hoping. QUOTE(mirocu @ Dec 1 2015, 05:10 PM) I got one of those Christmas calenders with chocolate bits in it; one a day Ooh, just like in "Bad Santa!" This post has been edited by mALX: Dec 5 2015, 02:59 PM

Apple[] gave me Stevie Wonder and Andra Day for Christmas. This year we are hosting Christmas for my family for the second time. With TLMM[]'s hand in a cast that means that the task of decorating and cooking falls to me. I imagine that my Christmas will be spent doing a lot of !

Uh, in the late 1980's Stevie Wonder called the police on his neighbors (who were friends of mine) because their dog was barking. So he doesn't win my vote as neighbor of the year, lol. But he does write some great lyrics.

The place is chock full of people notable for one thing or another, but primarily wealthy. I only know just one of them, though; the one whose adorable puppy obviously irritated Stevie Wonder into calling the law (instead of just calling his neighbor or sending a man to the neighbor's door to ask them to bring the dog inside or something). Me - I used to love Stevie Wonder, but I threw out all my Stevie Wonder albums and cassettes after that incident.
