Last Christmas my Dad was in hospital so I booked a hotel so I could visit on Christmas and Boxing Day.

While the nurses gave them a special meal both days all I had was a disgusting long life sandwich from the petrol station.🤣

I did manage a little walk in the village I stayed at and the nurses gave me a cup of tea/biscuits a few times so not all bad.🤭



This year he’s chair/housebound at home so I’ve booked another hotel to see him.

He gets frozen meals delivered,I’ve ordered a Christmas meals pack for him.

So we will both have a microwave frozen turkey dinner,I can’t wait. 😂😂😂

I’m bringing a decent Christmas pudding and cream for afters.❤️

There’s no room in his house with all the medical equipment so I am bringing a fold up chair and table for myself. 🤭

In the hospital I will only carry something small like this cadet and never flash it around,I shall take a big knife to the hotel and make my own sarneys this year. 😎

No snow and no Christmas decorations so doesn’t look seasonal…😆

Ho,ho,ho it’s Christmas. 😁
























Good for you John, I hope you and your dad have a great Christmas together this year :) :thumbsup:

I found this thread tucked away on page 3! Can't be having that, it's one of The Porch's greatest traditions :) Well done Randy, some great pics here too :thumbsup:

Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas, and all the best for 2026 :thumbsup:

Randy, thanks for again running your Christmas Giveaway; it's one of my favorite traditions on The Porch! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:

Here are a couple of snow pics I took after a Christmas blizzard in 2022. One shows our house looking like a postcard, and the other shows some of the backyard snow piles formed when I shoveled the driveway and the stairs that run from the back door to the garage.

Twas the day before Christmas,
And Squeako The Mouse
Was not looking forward,
To leaving the house.
Working this Arvo
Pouring the Beer
Hoping huge crowds
Would be nowhere near.
But first he must go,
To the shops where its Loud,
And battle with the tourists
And the holiday crowd.
The Bing Crosby music
In will be piping,
The zombie like people
On phones will be skyping.
Old ladies with trolleys
Will block up the aisle
Squeako will give them
A grimacing smile.
More Xmas music
With sleigh bells a ringin'
Despite 30 celsius
The sun will be bringin'.
So on to tomorrow
Prawn Cocktails and beer
And the hope that St Nicholas
Soon will be here.

Be Safe and Happy.
Cheers.
 
I've won my share of giveaways on this forum
Most of the "fancy" or expensive knives I have are either from winning one or these or through the generosity of someone on this porch

I am more than happy to see someone benefit from the generosity, I mean it IS Christmas after all
 
Good evening! I apologize for the delay. I forgot....:confused:. So, the knives will go to Matt WY (1) and R8 Shell (2). The subscriptions will go to Johnny the Fox and Jack Black. Merry belated Christmas! Please message me and I'll get them mailed and get the subscriptions taken care of. There were some great pics and some cool stories. I really appreciate them.
