And a very merry time to yourself and your family, however delayed it may be.

The family are probably having an absolute ball, they are all at the wife's parents house with the rest of her clan.
(think I would rather be here as it will be manic there, fighting for seats, noise, kids everywhere, you know the usual stuff!)

Yeah, the kids will have been up for a few hours, and found the stockings. And eaten the contents. The adults will be suffering from an excess of eggnog and Christmas spirit last night, but trying to be jolly "because it's for the kids" - who are starting to turn green due to the amount of chocolate they have found and stuffed their faces with, or sugar rushing round the house doing a wall of death on the walls.
Granny, having realised that she isn't going to have to do the cooking, will have grabbed the best seat, cracked open the Quality Street and the Amontillado, hogged the remote and is channel surfing for a Bing Crosby movie...
And the fights haven't even started yet!
Out of interest, how did you manage to wangle being offshore for Christmas? Well done!

As the wife says to others "He always manages to have the rota exactly right, school holidays, shows, events etc. etc."
In reality, it just happened that way!

One of the "free" boxes. Windows 2012 R2, bare bones. Getting it installed correctly and then configuring it for FTP (which wouldn't have been possible without this CP article[^]) was a bit of a learning curve for some reason.
But hey, got my roll-my-own webserver running on it. A fun little exercise.

Well done Marc !
(have noted article, too - have to build a backup-to-AWS/cloud service myself, might be a useful option 'ftp')
cheers, have a great Xmas/NY season

So, since the in-laws moved in up the street (5 houses), every year we have to go to their place for the Christmas Eve dinner, white elephant gift exchange, and mother in law inducing bout of raging intestinal cramps. I **** you not.
I have found that a healthy dose of gin helps make the evening pass....
Well, today is Christmas Eve. The past 3 days, I have driven 1500 miles to visit my Army son, wife and grandson, and damnit, I'm going to drink a little, shower when I want too, and play my online game. At 1830 hours, I have to submit myself to 4 hours of torture, listening to my mother in law prattle on about this that and the other. Next year, I'm in Aruba.
Nevertheless, the funny part of this story is my wife coming to me and expressing her concerns. I quote, "Honey, I want to say this as lovingly as possible, but if you have to get sh*t faced to go to the dinner tonight, maybe you ought not to go."
I happen to be out of rum, which I will correct shortly. But I busted out laughing. Of course, I admit it - much to the discredit of my character, I would much rather get ****-faced and watch an old movie than go through this horror. There is no right answer here. If I say, okay, I'll stay home, it's just going to end badly. If I go, well, I guess we all have to take one for the team.

I just knew I could count on CP, even on Christmas Eve, to cheer me up
