Laundry and pre New Year cleaning (superstition).
What happens if you don't clean? 
I better have the wife get to work!
According Granny:
I'm pretty sure that was meant in a metaphorical sense (clearm mind, let old E36 M3 go, blah, blah, blah . . .), but executing the action helps me follow the form.
Old people had a way with words. . . .
That's for sure. I wont smudge a dirty house, so there ya go. Same thing. Although, mine carries a religious stigma rather than being driven by superstition. No hate though. Hope the cleaning goes well.
I think she made that up from the religious version 
When I was young, I needed thoughtfully, explained answers to my questions.
My daughter is up waiting for my son to wake so they can open their presents.
She's been up for an hour.
I'm getting ready to go out and run the snowblower. Thankful that we have a white Christmas and that my health scare is done, allowing me to run said snowblower!
I used to tell my kids that Santa turned on the Christmas tree lights, so they couldn't come out of their rooms until the lights were on. Of course the lights were on a timer set for 8:00 AM. It took them years to figure that out.
We have two feline alarm clocks who take breakfast very seriously.

You guys are all giving me a good laugh. My feline alarm clock wasn't going off this morning. Instead hew as laying on me. With my RBD, it's always funny to see him go flying across the room when I sit up in my sleep.
Don. Its good to hear you are healthy, although its hard to keep up with everyone's life. So, whatever it was, I'm glad you are feeling up to a little work. We're expecting 2-4 inches tonight. I'm glad I gave the 4x4 to my wife the other day. She needs to drive it home from the airport. Its her last trip as a flight attendant and I'm going to be very happy to have her home full time again. She has picked up an easy job with good insurance and maybe a few years down the line, we will be able to expand our little family. 
Edit: Scratch that on the snow. Just everyone around us...

You sir, are a genius.
Just getting to GRM, but feline alarm let me sleep in until 6:47. Must have known it was a holiday...
Then fixed breakfast (grits, bacon, eggs, biscuits) for everyone, prepped the turkey breast and turned on the crock pot. Socialized for a bit, and now checking online.
Been up for an hour. The wife and my family did gifts and lunch yesterday, so today is her families turn. I havent even put on pants yet. This is my last Christmas without a child, so I will relax and and play with my toys at the in-laws.

Well put. Enjoy it while you can.
My head woke me up with its persistent requests for cola and excedrin.
It was a tiny, half-strength Irish coffee, but it was mixing that, I think, with the Winter beer tastings. Not much, overall, but a little HUB Abominable Winter Ale, a little Kill Devil Brown, and a little Jubelale set me up for a somewhat rocky landing this a.m....
