Merry Christmas to all of the Christians and secular observers! ✝️🎄🎅🤶🎄☦️

Woke up to a nice present, fasting blood glucose in the normal range: 90 mg/dL which beats my best previous measurement of 100. New workout might be helping. Of course those meters aren't precise and fluctuate with many factors. I'll take it though.

Will be joining family later on. Grandson may be interesting, only his 2nd Christmas so at 19 months he'll be more aware weird stuff is going on.:ROFLMAO:
 
Has anyone ever had this colour sky before ?.. this was the colour of ours last night, Christmas Eve...

Merry Christmas to all my friends here :) You have all been so supportive during a very difficult time for me and I appreciate it more than you know. I pray that you all have a healthy 2024. (((HUGS))) to everyone ❤️

My kitty woke me up at 5:30am this morning by standing on my head...haha. She wanted fed. Her dish was only half full. She's been a great comfort for me during this time so I don't mind that she stands on my head. Goofy cat :)

No plans for today for me. I'm alone. No family. No phone calls or texts' from any one. Just another day. I'll probably play one of my games on the computer and then do some counted cross stitch on a project I'm working on and I have a wool penny mat I need to finish. Then, later, I'll do some crocheting on an afghan I'm making and watch a movie or two. I haven't been able to do any quilting in my sewing room. I seem to have lost my sewing mojo. I think it's because that room reminds me of all the times my hubby would come upstairs to visit me and we'd talk about things. Life is so different now.
 
My sneezing and runny nose kept me awake a lot last night. My son checked on me yesterday to see if I was okay. My 2 year old dishwasher broke and of course it was full of dirty dishes. I hand washed them all this morning.

Tomorrow I call the repairman. My kids are dropping off a home cooked meal for lunch. Probably time for a short nap:)).
 
Santa (and helpers) left everything I asked for and then some. Electric socks - check. Garden center - check. A wooden duck named Jill, wearing Wellies. Fuzzy socks. Jammies. Hummingbird feeder. Solar garden lights. Lotsa stuff!

My gifts were well received. Yay.

DSIL had a call already at 8am telling him one of his hired help would be out sick, meaning he has to go in early and work until close around midnight :mad:. It happens every holiday,major or minor. Every holiday.

So dinner is going to be early. Like in about 5 minutes.

😆 Time difference here. We'll be having ours round 8pm and it's currently 7pm just now. The roasted potatoes are done; broccoli florets steamed to perfection; buns (first time in Air Fryer) done and turkey has bit to go. It's a half of medium, so 2 hours. Neat!

Merry Christmas @Sliverfox hoping it was all you'd wanted.
 
We opened presents this morning & listened to Christmas music on CBC Radio. DD called from Vancouver and we had a good Xmas chat.I did some kitchen clean-up, as I'd not washed all the dishes from last evening's dinner. Read some posts here on SF, and chimed in a couple times.

Things are well prepared for today's guests to arrive, a young family who we've know for a long time. The little daughter is a 2.5 year-old cutie. They don't have any blood relatives living out this way, and neither do DW or I. We may take a walk along the neighborhood road, if they arrive here early enough. It gets dark by around 3:30 these days.

Anyhow, Merry Christmas to anyone reading this!

I found it fascinating to watch some old stuff on YouTube where Les Paul demonstrated his pioneering results achieved through sound-on-sound recording using old Ampex open-reel tape machines in the late 40s.

Multichannel recording wasn't "a thing" yet, so he used multiple machines and multiple passes, relying on the performers' ears to sync "tracks" up.

He had critics who spread FUD about his "artificial" music.

He's generally credited with being the inventor of the solid-body electric guitar. He made one that was playable & sufficient. The Gibson company took up the idea, and the one we see in the vid is Gibson's version. In fact, they named it "the Gibson Les Paul" model.

He was a jazz player before he started making pop records with Mary Ford. (I expect you may know all this, dilletante. Anyhow, Merry Christmas.)
