Bea is baking up a storm today to prepare for tomorrow. Once Santa arrives in the Thanksgiving Day Parade, Christmas officially starts in our household…though we’ve been debating not calling it Christmas anymore. We never celebrated it in a religious way.
Anyway, Friday we get our tree!
It’s been Christmas since before my wife’s birthday last week. Now we are prepping for thanksgiving. Gonna be a busy day
We don’t actually do Thanksgiving dinner until Sat usually, and we love it, lol. Takes a lot of the pressure off from prep, have a couple days to relax and reset, and the grocery stores are much less busy, lol.
I host night before Thanksgiving baking with my siblings (but usually just my sister now as she’s the only other one with kids; the other siblings are too cool for this scene). It’s usually casual; I make a little charcuterie and cocktail pitcher, order a couple of pizzas, make some pies, cookies, and brownies.
Regardless of my take on holidays, good times with friends and family are always a welcome break from the hectic day to day lives we are all subjected to. I hope you all enjoy whatever lies ahead for you. 
I wish you and yours a peaceful, loving day with your fellows.
I’m really looking forward to the Christmas season this year— my sister is coming to visit, as well as my brother, his wife, and their daughter; my brother and I are both crazy yo-yo nerds, and I haven’t seen him since I started getting decent at string tricks… so that’s gonna be a lot of fun! (I am also looking forward to stuffing myself full of Aebleskivers)
Aebleskevers are soooo good lol. We found a kit at a grocery store and were intrigued by the name so we got it and were blown away by the finished result.
Edit: I suppose I should probably join this here club?
I’ve loved yo-yos since the 90’s, and got back into them somewhat recently,
Are I a boomer?
If I can be a yoyo boomer-- anyone can be a yoyo boomer; I’m sure you’ll be accepted, right @Pun1sh3R?
Welcome in advance! 
It basically disappears, I don’t even notice when I’m getting in or out of cars, driving them, whatever, it’s perfect. Even if I don’t play it through the day, it’s just nice to keep on me and look at time to time
Oh ya that looks great! The Pano and Dio are the perfect yoyo for EDC holstering too.
My partner is danish and æbleskivers have been the best addition to my holiday season! And every season really, we make them monthly at this point! Filled with apple butter or chocolate is my favorite!
Now that I have figured out how to do a proper Trapeze Stall I’m starting to understand the allure of the Kickflip. It’s a challenge every single time you try it. I have been hitting them more and more often. We hope to be finished up with the old house this weekend and that’ll free up some time and tension to do a video. Hopefully. Also, I had my neurology visit today and it went very well I think. He said unfortunately the type of brain damage I have (oxygen deprivation) won’t show up on any scans. The good news is he seemed ready and willing to put it on record so hopefully that’ll be a positive for the disability.
@SlowThrow Welcome to the Club Sir. You have been added to the members list in the first post.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorites! Food, Family and Football. No pressure of Presents.
I love Christmas. It does have the religious connotation for me and my family. BUT it WILL NOT START till after Thanksgiving. I full transparency, I may have glimpsed at the Christmas Section while going through Home Depot yesterday… But I held strong and did not buy anything.
The end of the Mo will be tied into the appearance of those mischievous pranksters who show up for the kids every year.
I’m so stoked for you that you found something to click like that with. happened to me with my pano and its a good feeling when a yoyo just makes you smile 
Thanksgiving - A holiday without gifts merely good food, quality family time, day off work. No brainer.
Like Cody, I too went hardware shopping today. Did contemplate my Christmas list. Right now only includes a 4 x 8 sheet of 1/2" Marine Plywood.
Life is much more satisfying if not driven by wants.
