    Merry Christmas!

    Where to for Christmas?

    For us folks it's Michigan and driving in that midwest weather last night was a pain in the arse! Every other year we switch between family in Wisconsin and Michigan.

    Merry Christmas (and happy Hanukkah to BallHawk).
    We are always here in Augusta, Maine for Christmas; our choir at St. Mark's Episcopal needs us! We'll have Christmas dinner here, then head to Connecticut for my wife's family's annual Christmas party. Then, on the 2nd--our 10th anniversary!--we fly to Madison to see my parents (now married 63 years!), family and friends back home.

    Wow, 63 years! That's awesome Badger. My parents made 65 years. Unheard of these days.

    Lots of family celebrations, sounds like a wonderful Holiday for your family...Enjoy!!

    Good thing too. We've got more snow here and on the way, winds supposed to pick up tonight. Heading to in-laws Christmas Eve.

    We are just staying home and enjoying the rare 20" snowfall here. Family outings to in-laws in Vancouver, WA and the eastern Portland area have been cancelled due to snow and ice.

    The snow removal equipment and know-how is downright pitiful out here. Yesterday, I traveled the 30 mile I-5 stretch between Salem and Portland. Despite being 3 lanes one way, it took me 3 and 1/2 hours!

    It makes me appreciate how resourceful the snow removal personnel are in Wisconsin!

    Merry Christmas, everyone!

    Put the chains on OPF and go for it. What happened to that Oregon trail spirit?

    I have had chains on the past two days! I am confident in my ability to drive in the snow. What truly concerns me are the native-born Oregonians who have no idea how to drive in winter weather!

    An business acquaintance of mine just went thru the Snoqualmie Pass in WA earlier today. He said it was the most treacherous drive he ever had. Looks like that section is getting dumped on pretty good.

    No snow here. Just an occasional rain shower. (though we had a helluva spectacular water main break yesterday--River Road is now aptly named)

    I'm just driving up to Baltimore to spend Christmas with the former in-laws and some ex family.

    Be safe, be careful, and I hope you get great memories this year.

    Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Happy Ramadan, etc., etc.

    Thanks--65 years is very impressive indeed, too. My in-laws get to 50 next year.

    Thanks, BIM. I can see my Jewish humor in the Brewers Forum caught your attention.

    Merry Christmas, everybody.

    Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy Holidays to everyone..

    Hopefully skin doesn't get bored reading this thread, and resort to "spooning" himself again

    Spent Christmas eve at the in-laws (big Italian festivities, lots of different fish!)

    Heading to my folks tomorrow (they have 58 years in the books!)

    Almost 18 inches of snow last weekend, now over an inch of rain today / tonight! (sorry skin, don't mean to bore you)
    My Two favorite teams are the Packers, and whoever plays the Vikings!
