gogoblender 3,070 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Its up, its here! Schot was again able to tinker and get the fabulous Christmas Skin going again. If you've got a Christamas Avatar, nows the time to show it off. A heart felt hug to all of our family and friends here who for the last almost twenty years have kept blessing our home with much-sought answers, difficult sacred builds and stellar mod building, while offering the kindest help for Sacred's global community. This along side delicious food recipes that star across all of Ancaria's sometimes hard to get to and often highly-guarded restos has made this little website Ancarias hottest tourist attraction. Happy Christmas to you and all your families From the heart gogo Link to comment

Hooyaah 2,823 Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 My daughter and I just finished watching The Polar Express on DVD. It's a yearly tradition. The first year it was released, we all went together. My parents treated us... her, me, and my wife. We have loved the movie and it has been a family tradition ever since that day. Merry Christmas, every one! 1 Link to comment

Only Main Course and Dessert Mains: Ox Tongue, Sweet Soya, & Peanut Butter Glaze, Spiced Gammon, Reduction Sauce, Roasted Chicken Thighs Oven Roasted Mixed Vegetables, Biltong Dusted Sweetcorn, Fresh Parsley & Thyme Potatoes, Dessert: Malva Pudding, Spiced Creme Anglaise.

I was captivated by *setting our table* over and over at home when i was a kid, just the way you cold design on a table by placing items and delicious food that you created in the kitchen is thrilling. Wishing you, your bf, your lovely invitees and your very dear family the best of Christmas Wishes... and hoowah... its here... Happy New almost, my old friend... break out the champers! gogo 1 Link to comment

I know having to work on the holidays is always such a chore, but at the end of it, getting it under your belt and then getting on home as quickly asap to the family is kind of like it makes it worth it ? I worked years in restos when a kid and i remember it being always like that ... just *knowing * id have to at least to half a day, but the rest, and feeling good after having made some moolah during an always cash-strapped season some how gave a christmas glow to the day!

chattius 2,526 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Have to do a drive to Frankfurt airport to pickup some people for the new year party. Hope no delays so I will be back 9pm and can still help with preparing. Won't lock in for a day, so happy new year to all who already have it and to all who still have to wait. Don#t know which traditions you have, we do a 1500 person tent on top of the hill between 5 villages, drive our firefighter trucks to the place and do a big party with friends and family, Short after new year we sing beethoven's 9th (ode to joy). But not as in opera , more focus on the word joy. 1 Link to comment
