@BuddyThomas , I hope that you and Phil had a very nice Christmas, and received some nice presents.
For us, our Christmas was laid back at home (thank God, no holiday travelling!), and we also had my sister over for dinner here. (I just finished up washing all the extra dishes from yesterday. Once a year, I break out the Christmas pattern, Lenox china. I always hand-wash those.) Glad Christmas is just once a year -- I hate hand-washing plates and cups!

Thanks for the nice wishes. Sounds like you had a nice holiday. We just stayed around town too. Couldn’t deal with a Philmonster’s road rage this year. Here is our holiday break so far, summed up in a few shots. The deserted theatre is what it looked like when we went to see CATS. Happy holidays everyone!@BuddyThomas , I hope that you and Phil had a very nice Christmas, and received some nice presents.

Philmonster's Christmas sweater is hilarious!
Nice and quiet@Mr Ferret 88 , how was Christmas day for you and Mrs. Ferret?
Breakfast of fresh croissant and coffee with my parents. (Long standing tradition) . Then down to her Brothers for Christmas lunch. Evening spent binge watching most of the new series of Lost in Space. Finished season 2 tonight.

Merry Christmas to you and the Philmonster Buddy!
So, is the movie version of Cats not as popular as the Broadway show?

It felt like Spring today.
It was 55 degrees as a high today in the part of Wisconsin I live in. Christmas eve and Christmas day was That is not normal winter temperatures in Wisconsin, but more like spring temperatures. It is not going to below 40 degrees before December 30th. It is supposed to be in the mid 50s on Sunday.
The catch is some parts of Wisconsin was not in the 50s today at all including Superior, Wisconsin. There is a section that might as well be called @MinnieM123 's paradise
. Superior, Wisconsin is capable of getting lots snow and is usually much colder than the south eastern region of Wisconsin.

Merry Christmas to you too.
The Cats movie is a total and complete bomb but I predict it will become a stoner midnight movie over time. Here are some hysterical reviews:
16 delightfully mean lines from the 'Cats' reviews
Despite an Oscar-winning director and an all-star cast, the movie version of blockbuster Broadway musical "Cats" is a creative cat-astrophe.

Glad you're starting to feel a bit better. That aside, I'm dying to hear the reviews of your pecan pie!!
It turned out pretty good... dad liked it... brother liked it... I think it could have been done just a little more... but the pecans were getting a bit dark.

I did although my knees did not appreciate handing out gifts with them making noises when I get up. My younger brother and I handed out lots of gifts. What happened with the knees is I did get a quite a bit of gifts and I had to sit down for unwrapping them.Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas
I did get some surprised gifts including tickets for the new Cirque du Soleil show at Disney Springs. Gifts were unwrapped while having a fireplace on youtube with Christmas music without singing.
I had a wonderful Christmas Day dinner. Christmas Dessert was leftovers from Christmas Eve including mini eclairs and mini cream puffs.

Wow, those are some awful reviews! I personally didn’t think that the musical would transfer well to film. A big waste of money on Universal’s part.Merry Christmas to you too.

Yah, I also have zero desire to see Cats in a movie. In the mid-90s, I saw it at the Winter Garden Theater on Broadway. It was a major, live entertainment experience for me. The theater, itself, was decked out in these amazing sets, that I can't even begin to describe. The costumes and makeup were so creative. The actors gave excellent performances.
A movie wouldn't be able to capture the above -- it would just be a movie (of a show). Right, @BuddyThomas ?!

@SteveBrickNJ , are you off from school now through New Year's, or do you go back this coming Monday? Every school district is different -- just curious.

We are not back in school until Jan. 2nd. Quite a long break this year considering our last day of school was Fri. Dec. 20th.
