family tradition was smoking it in an old outhouse,

Was that a flavor enhancement technique? :D

In all seriousness, going out on the ice for the first time each year is quit exhilarating. Even better if you have the entire lake to yourself and there are no other footprints.

Well, I guess you actually can walk on well frozen water.. :)

What's creepy is when there's snow on the ice. You're walking along, and all of a sudden you break through a thin crust of ice under the snow, go through 3-4" of water, then land on more ice. Sometimes it's 12" of solid ice. Sometimes it's 2" of mush. YIKES! :eek:

All I want is good health for my wife and me. Nothing else matters, especially material things.

This is the first Christmas that we decided as a family that we wouldn't exchange gifts. Liberating and stress reducing these days leading up to holidays especially since getting together is becoming a logistical nightmare... and now add COVID to the equation.

Of course we will still spoil the grandkids! :D

Unless my wife travels to visit one of her sons (who all live out of the area), we usually spend Christmas just the two of us. I don't have any kids myself. Thanksgiving tends to be the holiday we visit relatives, sometimes hers, sometimes mine. As you noted Covid put a lid on that this year.

As far as gifts, we just tell each other one or two items we'd like and that's it (I'm getting a lithium battery jump pack and a couple books). Much less stressful than trying to find the perfect "surprise" gift.
