Mike,
Great pictures!! Thanks for sharing.
We have everyone over on Christmas Eve, which has sort of become a tradition that's talked about all year. We make a day of it with horse shoes, darts and four wheelers. If the weather is nice, then there's fishing and a hay ride. If it's raining, we just stay indoors and snack all day. Everyone is welcome, so there's always somebody new who doesn't have family or anyplace to go. We've had almost 40 people here, and the more the better!!!
When you move to the country, be sure to plan your shop for those big holiday get togethers. It's not only allot of fun, but a great reason to clean up the shop. If it wasn't for this, my shop would be a total mess with different projects spread out all over.
