Annual OS Christmas Thread 2024

As I sit here under the glow of one of our 3 Christmas trees, my mind was drawn to this thread. We are 35 days out from the big day and the excitement in our house is growing. The kids are now 8 and 5 years of age and are at the perfect age for the magic of the season.

We all start celebrating this holiday at different times. I know my American friends have Thanksgiving next week, and that’s the jumping off point for many of them. For me, your Thanksgiving is such a huge part of Christmas to me, so please accept my apologies for jumping the gun a little early.

This thread is to talk about the season, sharing pictures, discussing music/films, the different activities we do, gift ideas and everything else that goes along with it. I look forward to this thread every year and to see the names of members I’ve come to know over the years.

So, please let me be one of the first to wish you all a Merry Christmas and start the thread with a few pictures with more to come.





These are a few pictures to get the ball rolling. If you look closely, you can see our new pup Lemon sleeping in her crate. She will definitely add to the fun this Christmas season.

Annual OS Christmas Thread 2024



34 days until Christmas and Tim Horton’s has released their Christmas cup in my neck of the woods and I do not like it. I get what they are trying to do with it by using their Timbit’s in Christmas settings, however I prefer their more traditional cups.

Re: Annual OS Christmas Thread 2024

I've decided my new Christmas is when I hear ''pitchers and catchers report.''
Until then, I'll celebrate the old Christmas as a warm-up lol.

I dunno...not Thanksgiving yet, but since T'giving is late this year, I'll allow it.

Re: Annual OS Christmas Thread 2024

Here in PR we start on or about at November 1st and end at the 3rd weekend of January with las Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastian.

I feels it is about the right length, Halloween is so different from Christmas that anyone starting before it feels like a try-hard and "las Fiestas" have become so a huge deal that it feels like the correct ending point. The longest Christmas festivities in the world indeed

Re: Annual OS Christmas Thread 2024



33 days until Christmas. This is my tree in the basement. It has many decorations that I’ve painted myself or ones my wife has painted. I also have many decorations from my parents and sisters and there are many from my former students.

The Nativity set in the window is one of my favourite decorations that I own.

Now, on to you gentlemen. Thanks for returning for another year. I may have driven off a few guys over the years, so I appreciate you guys sticking around. I look forward to it every year and look forward to sharing the holidays on the board with you all. Hopefully we will have more OS members stop by and contribute.

Have a great day gentlemen!

Re: Annual OS Christmas Thread 2024

Going to put up my tree this weekend. Already have lights up outside since it was warm enough to do it before.

Seems like this year people want to get ahead of things when planning Christmas events/menus and everything so that's a good sign.

Tv/movie wise, I'm probably sticking to the usuals again. Don't think there's really been any new Christmas movies the past few years (likely much longer) that have stood out as "must watch every year". Tried watching ones like Arthur Christmas and Klaus and those didn't really stick out to me at all.
