We always had a cake out for the Epiphany , Jan 6, Armenian Christmas , for on that day the Wise Men found the Manger , One of the Wise Men was quite tall and bumped his head as he entered the doorway and exclaimed "Jesus Christ" at that moment Joseph turned to Mary and said "Write that down, I think I like that better than Derek"

Awaiting delivery of my wife’s Peloton. Not sure how I’m going to hide that thing for a day.

Hang clothes on it like everyone else.

Tell her your holding for your buddy so his wife doesn’t see it.

He is not so sure of the bigger cow.

This is clearly a man who knows how to deceive.

Patio umbrella repair v1.1, several years ago I spliced in 1"x4' wood dowels for v1.0, they did not survive the derecho that rolled thru here about a week ago.  3/8"x4' metal rods this time.  Pricey at about $9. each...

My Italian friends came through with a few boxes of goodies. The wine fridge in the kitchen is now full of prosecco and champagne, the holidays kick off this evening.

Score! if that were my house, the holidays would be kicking off right freaking now.

My buddies John and Dan did that when I lived in NC. they were getting their boys into lawn mower sized tractor pulling. They shared a enclosed trailer but John bought and paid for the trailer, only he told his wife that it was Dan's and he was going to keep it at their house so Dan's wife didn't find it and get mad about all the money they were spending.

I have plenty of places to hide stuff here.  My mom bought a gift for my wife for her birthday this summer. It was on sale and ordered early so I tossed it in the shop and told her I would hide it until the day.  Well I forgot all about it and a few days before her birthday I said "I haven't seen any packages come from mom for your birthday I wonder whats up".

 On her birthday moms on speaker phone waiting for swmbo to tell her about the gift and it dawned on me! Ill be right back!

I need to get an outdoor shed. That would solve a lot of problems. Would also create an equal amount of problems. Normally the garage is a good place for me to hide things, as it has a ton of cabinets that she won’t go through. However, it is also the gym and she uses it near daily. I work tomorrow, so I won’t be able to keep her out of there without tipping her off.

What is funny about this comment, was I hid my wife's present in the kitchen cabinet with my Dutch Ovens.  Just finally wrapped it and put it under the tree this morning.

Potential Xmas lunch postponement on discussion. One niece and nephew got it coming out of both ends. Other brother’s house just got over same issue. 

My problem lies with the epic 4 bone prime rib in my freezer. To defrost or to not defrost. That is the question.

To late already to defrost.  Try another day.

Ah, that is totally fair point.

Here's how to deal with it.  Plan and cook the rib roast.  If they make it they enjoy it, if they don't you get more to enjoy.  And there is always the magnanimous offering of " here's what you missed for left -overs."
Besides any double ender that lasts over 24 hours means something that needs medical attention.
So, go forth and enjoy!

I’ll be honest I was tempted to wait until 26th just to see if any matches were being played at all - but I knew that you, my fans, need this just too much.  Your inevitable Christmas gift disappointment and not getting you Friday PL hit would probably prove too much. 

We’re on the back 9 now as we reach game #19, plus or minus covid postponements 

As it stands then;

Sunday

Liverpool v Leeds, Wolves v Watford, Burnley v Everton have all suffered defeats to Covid.

Man City v Leicester - home win for sure, close but still 2-0

Norwich v Arsenal  - away win as the Canaries new manager bounce subsides while the Gunners are hitting their straps. 0-3

Spurs v Palace - goals and most of them for the hosts; 3-1

West Ham v Southampton - Hammers have wobbled a bit and are light in the back 4. Draw not impossible but the hosts should shade it 2-1

Aston Villa v Chelsea - no push-over for the Blues here as they’ve let self-doubt creep in.  The Stevie G power-surge is still in effect. 2-2

Brighton v Brentford - likely to be horrific viewing with neither team in sparkling form.  Any of all three results possible. 1-1.

Monday

Newcastle v Man Utd, good time for the resurgent Red Devils to visit and keep the Toon under pressure.  0-2, hopefully more.

There’s a whole bunch more fixtures from Tuesday,  I might even be bothered to predict those or they may all be postponed.  It’s good to keep a bit of mystery in our relationship.

I’ll be honest, I usually skip over the kickball predictions because I have no idea what you are talking about. But your first paragraph today gave me a chuckle. Merry British Christmas Eve!

"kickball" - lol, that's brutal @Battleborn

The internet equivalent of throwing a sack of tea into the harbor.

Tell her your holding for your buddy so his wife doesn’t see it.

One potential problem with this approach is you might get her opinion of said gift and might have to go into panic scramble mode.

Great stuff as always.  We fans are glad to see that you got this posted like clockwork.  You are a marvel.  

Fortunately/unfortunately I won't be able to take in much of the Boxing Day matches as I'll be on the slopes at Breckenridge that day.  But I'll check in on the results.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that you got every prediction correct.
