Good morning everyone! So my brother-in-law finally made up to my wife yesterday after months of being rather silly (long story not going into about money and I was staying out of it much as I could). Anyhow, now him and his wife are coming over Christmas Eve to play Euchre and nosh on snacks. My wife is much, much happier now (she practically raised him). You have to love the Christmas season for bringing families together.

Quick viewing recommendation: "Repair Shop" on Netflix. It's a British show about repairing all sorts of family and personal treasures. It's like a reality show in the US, except no teenagers, no ones fighting about anything, there's no manufactured drama and no loud anything. Just 30 minutes of watching skilled artisans at work and making people very happy.

Good morning! Don't forget to step away and take a minute for yourself in the middle of the holiday whirlwind.

Good morning!!!

Note from the wife's reading the internet to me in the morning...8 year old You Tuber tops Forbes list of young entrepreneurs for 2nd year in a row - $26 million. He reviews toys.

Time to put some cheer in my coffee because I find that both impressive and disturbing.

This is the first time in 20-30 years (maybe more) that I have taken all off Christmas week off. I have always tried to be part of the skeleton crew and let others enjoy there time with family and friends (while I enjoyed getting things done with far fewer distractions). For all of those that are working this holiday - please know that I am cheering for you and wishing you the best throughout the holidays!

So it's that time of year when I get phone calls when my wife is out...and naturally, I was in the middle of my weekly tank maintenance that I do every month.

Ring...I answer..."Hey hon, busy with tank, whatcha need?"

Wife: "Honey, I found this...."
Me: "How much do you need, honey?"
Wife: "and I was thinking the grand kids could use more..."
Me: "How much do you need, hon?"
Wife: "And it's really not that much..."
Me: "How much do you need?"
Me: "And we were going to get some stuff anyway..."
Me: "How much do you need? In dollars?"
Wife: "No need to yell"

Long pause

Wife: "$50"
Me: "<sigh>....sure hon, no problem"
Wife: "maybe $100?"
Me: "uh huh, that's fine too, honey"
Wife: "no more than $200-$300 tops"

Long pause

Me: "Can you bring home some burgers?"
Wife: "Sure hon! Love ya, bye"
