Merry Christmas Everyone - Omniscient - Dec 25, 2016
Just a quick shout out to all the members of HF that are today enjoying this merry holiday of Christmas. Truly hope that everyone got their present wishes filled. Christmas is about not only family but also about community. Let's all take a moment to be grateful for what we have and also to consider those who are less fortunate.
I view Christmas as a time of the year when we have to look at our own humanity and reflect on what we've done over the past year. I try to see if I've done more good than bad. I try to see if I met my goals of my current New Years resolution. I question if I've done good for family and friends. And I then begin to formulate my new resolution for the new year. Pretty much every year I realize I'm not a perfect human being.
Today I'm cooking a 20lb smoked turkey (on the smoker now), a spiral ham, green beans, Brussels sprouts (roasted w/bacon), carrots, deviled eggs (mine are awesome), cranberry sauce (freshly made), stuffing, cornbread, yams (sweet potatoes) and mac'n cheese. Also cleaning the house. I'll have about 20 people over for dinner and to enjoy each others company.
My family already opened their gifts and my family were all very pleased with their presents. And speaking of presents I want to thank each member who took a moment to buy me a Xmas gift from my Amazon Wishlist. It's very thoughtful of the community and it's certainly a lot of feel-good moments when the UPS truck pulls up with a box. The generosity of members is almost certainly one of my motivations to continue to run this place.
Well, I will be on/off a lot today as I have a ton of cleaning and cooking to still do. Not to mention football (NFL) is on today.
Best wishes to everyone and Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you too Omni.
That food you're making there sounds bloody awesome (yeah i'm jealous), eating like a king I see. I mean it sounds like a lot of food you know?
My Christmas roast consisted of pork, chicken, beef (not seasoned or anything) just some normal roast potatoes, carrot and turnip, brussels sprouts, Yorkshire puds and gravy.
Now I'm sat here dranking me some nice scotch and passing a few blunts around with my brother and my bro in law, I'm pretty fucked to be fair, anyway gonna be going offline now so merry Christmas to you all.
Edit: I'm completely fucked, and my brother is trying to take the laptop from me haha.

I agree with helping others I always try to shop local and help out small businesses any time I can even if it ends up costing a couple 100 extra.
