Although not over yet as last weekend was her family and this weekend is mine, there is plenty of liquor be speak of so far! Some corn whiskey and a bottle of good rum came home.
As for the wife and I, we decided to skip our Christmas and birthdays (her's is in January and mine is in February) this year in favor of a new washing machine. Since we moved into our new house, we've been fighting with one of those portable units that hooks up to your faucet and scratches your floors up. Problem is, the laundry was originally in the basement and at some point someone moved everything to the main floor... poorly. When the dryer was changed out, I had to completely redo the venting. Worse for the washer as it had to fit where there was no washer before, I had to plumb the water supply and drain then modify the cabinets to free up some room. Took me all day and a couple hundred bucks on top of the cost of the washing machine... Merry Christmas indeed.
