Wow that sounds like a child’s dream right there! Or like something out of Elf haha. You’re making me hungry!

@savannah_grace2009

I’ve never heard of popcorn cake… or was there supposed to be a comma between the two words?

@jonas

Glad to hear that! Merry Christmas!

@whalekeeper

My favorite treats are these cookies called sour cream cut-outs.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of those. I’ll have to look them up!

@whalekeeper

 The night before, we all sleep around the Christmas tree. She turns on old radio shows, like OLD old ones from the 1930 something’s, and doze off with the faint static and long-dead caroling people in your head.

I’ve always wanted to sleep around the tree sometime, but I think if we kept the lights on I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Cranberry sauce, I eat it by the spoonful XD

I don’t normally eat cranberry sauce, but we do have a cranberry relish sometimes (most often at Thanksgiving). It’s more like a fruit salad, but I would probably eat cranberry sauce by the spoonful too, haha.

Haha I forgot about the tree! We have a fake one now. We used to get real ones when I was little, but then it started bothering our allergies (especially my dad) so we switched to the fake one. I miss the smell of the real ones, but I like that we can set it up right after Thanksgiving and keep it up until after New Year’s, and it still looks nice.

…and if someone takes too long, everyone starts singing Joy to the World.

That strikes me funny for some reason! I don’t think either of my parents would be happy if we woke them up like that, lol.

Aaaaand since I started this topic, I’ll answer the questions myself!

Starting with Christmas Eve: my family doesn’t usually do much the first part of the day, but our church has Christmas Eve services in the evening, so we’ll often have an earlier meal, and somewhere along the line we started eating shrimp every year, but it’s not usually…[Read more]

@jonas

Is it the kind of thing you can postpone if you have to, or too many people’s schedules to work with to be able to do that?

@jonas

That sounds miserable!

Was your family going to be hosting the Christmas get-together tomorrow?

@jonas

That’s no fun! I remember being sick over Christmas before, too. Stomach bugs are the worst though….

@vinagirl

After what Libbie and Albert have been through? Nope XD

Kari

As chaos ensued, Kari drew her sword. She knew she’d probably have to use it at some point, but now, in the heat of the moment, she wondered if she would be good enough to stay alive. Minimal practice had given her the ability to defend…[Read more]

K, I got some more for ya!

Mama made me rest over the next few days. I felt bad, leaving all the chores to her, but she recruited George and Abe to help out whenever they could. I appreciated the time to think and pray. My leg was still in pain when I walked, but several times I limped outside to the…[Read more]

Was this going to be the first chapter? I’m assuming if it’s not, that we would have already know a bit more about the family/characters, but there were a couple places I noticed that weren’t super clear about who a certain person was.

She was messing with Jason’s hat as Colton approached.

For example, right here, I had no idea who J…[Read more]

@everyone

I’m still here… I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately but I’ve been busy. I’m gonna try to involve Kari a little bit more when I have another chance to RP tomorrow afternoon.

Just adding to the list of ship names, eh?
