Happy Solstice and Yule! We had ours last night. Just our children (and daughter-in-law!) and Hobbit Baby. (Three of them get tested for COVID at least once a week because of their jobs. That is helpful!) I got a new Yule tree from an Amazon returns auction for $3.10. My crazy butt decided to switch trees today! It will be up until 17 January at least, so I guess I do not mind the extra work of it. My old one had some broken branches. Now, I am going to make some outdoor decorations out of it for my neighbor and myself. We will see how it turns out.

Here is my new $3.10 tree! (Please, ignore the mess around it. I just got it decorated.)

Honestly they're not difficult to wash at all but I'm guessing your mom wouldn't believe me. :rolleyes:
No, once she decides something that's it. I can't really hand wash with her always watching me, plus nowhere to hang them to dry with all her clutter.

My positive is we placed our Aldi order last night. I got so many fun things, hopefully they are all in stock. I'm getting a cheese ball if they have it. Never tried one before. I've never really tried any spreadable cheeses besides Cheez Whiz. I don't know what day they are bringing our order, since Friday is Xmas.

We got a couple of cheese balls for Christmas Eve. I'm excited about them! Cheese is the best.

Firstly, that sounds absolutely amazing, I want to crash your Christmas Eve festivities and eat your cheese, and secondly, I couldn't agree more. Cheese is the best and that's that.
I have a cheese ball that I am having on Christmas Eve with some Wheat Thins. I can't wait. Cheese is the best.
Yum! Sounds so good! Lol I'm so envious! Yes, 100000%, cheese is the best.

Boone and Gracie are no longer counter surfers when I am cooking or feeding them. :yess:

Boone and Gracie are finally on a good feeding schedule where they aren't constantly under foot waiting to be fed. :yess:

Boone isn't sloshing water all over from the water bowl now that they have a fountain instead. :yess:

And lastly, Boone and Gracie are leaving the Christmas tree and ornaments alone finally. :yess:

What flavor of cheese balls?

I have a cheese ball that I am having on Christmas Eve with some Wheat Thins.
What kind of cheese ball? I have some Wheat Thins, but they are tomato basil. I think I'll get plain next time.

My positive is, our Aldi order is coming on Saturday since Friday is Xmas. Here is a pic of the cheese ball I'm getting:

I also got Kaukauna - one sharp cheddar and one port wine. I also ordered a smoky bacon from the Jewel website, but they said that was out of stock.

I feel like in the past I did see one once that was Swiss and almond, but it wasn't on the website.

My positive is I worked out early this morning then went to pick up a few things at the grocery store to get me through Xmas. I was worried how crowded it would be and decided if it was bad I'd leave. Surprise, it was practically empty and no waiting in the check out line. :thumbsup:
