Any Christmas morning "projects"?

NoTrespassing · Dec 25, 2016

Merry Christmas, did anyone have to put together anything this morning or have stories from past Christmases assembling things?

I got my wife a new Coach watch this year and with her tiny wrists I had to remove 2 watch band links. That's something I never attempted before. I ended up getting my smallest jewelers screwdriver and grounding the end off of it. I put the band on it's edge on an old instruction manual that's about 1/2 inch thick and drove the pin out with a hammer and into the paper. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be but using a headlight helped. I was pretty proud that I didn't damage the gold plating on the band and got it all back together. I got an A+ from my wife for that!

Santa brought my 4 year old son a Transformer robot that changes into a jet. That was quite a challenge too. I had to go to youtube to figure that one out!

Hope Everyone is Having a Wonderful Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and your family Kevin!!!!

No Christmas morning projects. But here's what my wife wanted for Christmas. My Grandson and I did this creation.

I put together a kitchen playset for my youngest daughter after she opened it...

Not Christmas related, but I need to finish some horse fence repairs we started yesterday after one got out. Poor things stuck in the barn until repairs are finished.

No Christmas projects for me nor put together items. None of my kids could make it for Christmas so we are having our Xmas celebration after New Years.
My German Shepherd dog woke me at 0530 barking like crazy so I let him out to go chase something out of the yard. Too much fog to see very far with a light but whatever it was, he got them away from here. Before sun up, he had me out playing fetch with the Frisbees. Sometimes I wonder who is fetching when he doesn't bring them all the way back. I use two and he likes to try to beat me back to the previously thrown one and then it is keep away time with him determined to have them both.

63F here before daylight, what a Christmas Day temp to have here. Anyone else have unseasonably warm temps?

Not exactly what you have in mind but we started this morning working on our spare bedroom turning it into the nursery. Found out Wed I'm having a little girl in May been waiting on that bit of information to get started.

Yep my mom is through the roof after raising two boys and growing up with two brothers. She's gonna spoil her to death.

And let her... My mom and dad dont get to see our kids much, and my grandmother and mother-in-law both passed away before meeting our youngest daughter.

Congratulations, my friend! Our little girl turned one a few weeks ago. It's been a blast. She'll love being on the farm with you and eating soil. Our MX has been real popular with her also, hopefully yours is a well

.

I didn't have any pressing projects this morning, but I split a little firewood, cleaned the air filter off my stihl 660, and touched up a chain. Firewood time of year for me.
