The lamb got to help feed me for Christmas Eve. Traditional (in my family) prime rib roast.
Merry Christmas to all of you 🎅🏻

Getting down on page one, correction. 🥰 Had my Christmas lunch and catch up yesterday, Sunday the 24th, today on Christmas day a quite one, and it has rained all night and still raining today. Here is a Double Lamb post, a knife and a small piece of Lamb Leg and some roast potatoes and pumpkin, a delicious small lunch with some Plum Pudding to come. Merry Christmas everyone. 🎅🎅🎅🤝.

Best moment of the year Paul! 😊👍

Good morning Guardians, and a very Merry Christmas to everyone. I'm sat out on my balcony, which is currently in the shade, so I may go and find another spot, or even have a wonder down to the beach. I hope you all have a fantastic day 👍
 
Good evening guardians, thank you all for the kind messages. I’m back home now and just rocking my 1 year old to sleep after a big day. Happy to say that my dad was tickled pink with his knife, he kept pulling it out and playing with it and showed each member of the family over the course of the day.

Wishing you all a merry Christmas in the northern hemisphere about now!

Thank you very much my friend, I hope you have a lovely day 😊 I have just been reading my book on the roof terrace, but after lunch, (if I can be bothered), I might take a walk to the nearest of the Papagayo beaches 🙂👍

Good morning Guardians, another bright, hot, and sunny day here, and I'm just waiting to go on a trip to the old city, and former capital of the island Teguise. They have a large market on Sundays too 😉 I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas Eve 👍👍👍

Merry Christmas from Australia fellow lamb lovers.

No photo of a lamb today and if you can bear through a story I'll tell you why.
Growing up my dad was a butcher, then a shearer before buying his small piece of land. There he and my step mother struggled along (unbeknownst to me as a kid). We came from very much a working class background and most of the meat we ate was game. My fondest memories of those years are all around hunting and game. He always had two folding knives in the ute, a clip point rabbit knife for skinning and dressing rabbits (rabbit was our chicken back then and the skins were still worth some money) and the venerable lambsfoot. The lamb did odd jobs like cutting hay twine, opening packages or whatnot and cutting up food. When I think of his lamb the main memory is my brother and I sharing the front passenger seat after we'd been cutting firewood and dad slicing up pieces of salami made from a deer he'd shot and passing them around to us. We may not have had much, but I never felt poor as a kid with moments like that.

Fast forward to today And my dad was recently sitting in my ute as we went yabbying. His lamb is long lost and mine lives in my centre cup holder where it's used the same way his was. He was admiring it and saying he'd love one again. Now it's not a perfect knife, she's quite a strong pull and F&F isn't at the top, but it's still a sheffield lamb and to him that's a big tick. He can't use the internet and while he scours second hand shops for knives, has never had the opportunity to get another.

So I've got my lamb boxed up ready to gift to him this morning when we take the kids around for our family Christmas. I reckon it'll put a nice smile on his face.

Anyway Guardians, it's 6:40am here Christmas morning and as I've been writing this under the patter of rain on the tin roof time has ticked away and the kids will soon be rising so I must sign out.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas, and all the best for the year to come.

Love the videos, Jack! 😁:thumbsup: Happy Christmas to you, my friend! 🎄

Christmas has felt like a whirlwind here so far. As usual, we’re spending the holiday with my family (my mom and her husband, my brother and sister-in-law and their daughter). We generally take turns hosting; this year we’re here in Minnesota, other years we’re in Arkansas or wherever my brother is living (that has changed just about every time he’s hosted). Normally we have several days together before Christmas Day itself, but the way the dates fell this year, everyone has only been here a couple days.

Yesterday my brother and I went to the Viking’s game, which was fun. (No knives allowed, unfortunately.)

On the way home we picked up Chinese takeout for dinner, which has become a bit of a Christmas Eve tradition. The kids got to open one present on Christmas Eve, then it was off to bed for them so the grownups could have a few drinks while playing Santa.

I’ve got a couple pork butts in the smoker for our BBQ Christmas dinner later. I had to get up early to check on ‘em, and at this point I doubt I’ll fall back asleep. I’m sure the kids will be up and ready to go soon anyways.

Merry Christmas, Guardians! 🎄 Hope you all have a good one! :thumbsup:

Thanks Steve 😊👍

After lunch, I had a walk to the first of the Papagayo beaches, but found the experience underwhelming, so I'm back at the hotel, drink a large Bellini, surrounded by folks doing Xmas video calls! 😁 I'll head back to my room shortly, to drop my stuff off, and get changed (for the fourth time today! ). Then I'll either go and sit in the sun, and do some gentle boozing, or have a siesta 😉 Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas 👍

Merry Christmas to each of you and your families.

The wife and I are meeting her sister and mother for an early movie and then will be back to the house. The weather is looking to be great for a long walk in the park. I hope each of you enjoys your day.

Sounds like a good plan Pete, maybe I can find a movie on Spanish TV! 😁👍
