5 minutes into his journey this year and already almost 10 000 gifts delivered as he crosses the Siberian Sea :smiley:

Lots of games and family friendly Christmas fun to be had.

Ya the kids and I had some fun playing a few of the games. The quick draw was quite funny with the AI trying to predict what you’ve drawn

It was a weird one for me, it was the first peaceful xmas in years - no family drama. But bitter sweet, because even tho he was physically there my dad wasnt mentally there. Its odd how it some days is more real than others

Anyone doing anything special for New Years today/tonight?

Going to be a quiet one at home for the missus and I, which is fine with me. I hate the Joburg roads on New Year’s and Uber surge pricing is ridiculous. Also, while I do enjoy a good fireworks display, the cheap and nasty, and unnecessarily noisy, China Mall kak that the neighbourhood twits insist on setting off are just stupidly irritating. We like to be home to keep a calming eye on Phoebe Katje whilst the world erupts around her.

We’re just doing a meal at home with the kids, followed by a 2000s themed dance party in the lounge :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: (with some Marshmellow mixed in to keep the young’uns happy)
