Mrs Gasket in kitchen cooking for 30 family arriving tomorrow morning.
I've just erected the shade and put tables out.
Time for my first beer of the day. YEAH!

What's going on in other places today?

Well ... it's still Friday 23rd here, around 9 PM.
Where are you ? Looks like you won't have a white Christmas. Bummer.

Christmas Day, I'm on snowboard patrol all day 'till 16:30. Wife will go to her family for dinner. I'll dine alone with some good wine and blast my repaired SuperChamp all night long.
 
ALl the house is ready for the Grand kids and kids to get here sometime tomorrow----

I will join in the torture ---it was 81 degrees here today Smitty --- come on in Bubba the swmap waters are fine ;)

My last "white Christmas" was 1986 ----- it was awesome and wonderful as a youth--- but I will stick with flip flops and rum ;)

We're not expecting any snow (ever) East Coast Australia (1 hour drive south from Sydney).
 
Here in Redneckville, West Oz, it's currently 27C, warm and clear. Waiting for a friend to drop by for coffee. This evening we have the out-laws over for dinner, and tomorrow up to my folks place with my family for a full-on feed. With all the booze likely to be flowing tomorrow, and the traditional turkey, ham, salads etc, it will be more like pigs at a trough, but who am I to judge...
 
Cold and rainy here in SoCal...not the usual, but we need the rain! I'm a huge fan of blustery days, so I'm happy...
 
It's cold here.
No. that was 10 minutes ago.
Now its 53 and stopped raining.
I was outside without a jacket today.
Yesterday there was ice on my pool.
It's NYC.
Everything is at New York time.
The weather changes every 12 minutes.
Sometimes we get all 4 seasons on Tuesday.
 
Just got out of bed.

We open all the presents in the evening of Christmas eve in Norway, so the kids woke up early because of the excitement. They are eating candy and reading comics from their Christmas stockings at the moment. Christmas stockings are not really a tradition here, but we give them a stocking stuffed with candy, comics and a couple of small gifts in the morning. This gives us a bit of time to get everything ready for the rest of the day.

I'm drinking some really nice Kenyan coffee roasted by the Danish roaster Coffe Collective. After I finish it I'll make breakfast and then go out and get the last couple of things needed for our Christmas evening meal.

Outside it's 3 °C (that's 37 °F for those of you who don't use the proper scale:)) and pissing down.

Wow 3'C.
Now 7:30PM and plunged from the 27'C at midday to 26'C.
Still an hour of daylight and about to have a swim, life can be hard at times :-(

Edit,
Back now after a cool off, that's me in the photo.
... and Adrian the answer is yes, a couple of frames earlier would have been XXX rated. Hey some people are into grandpa porn. Haaa haaa haaa

Don't get one, it encourages the neighbours like Sydney in post #8 to spend all day looking over the fence at you.
I keep telling her I'm married and she isn't getting any of whats on show. LOL.
