Super little trick! Thanks, Dave!

 Hey Bondo I went back and looked at all the happy faces..... oddly enough your picture was deleted. Something about nudity?  Everyone looks very happy and the anticipation on Christmas Eve was hysterical!  The only pic that shocked me was Pa Pa John. I had no idea he was such a baby face. What is he like 12?  Well Jon made me cringe ith tan lines in December. I was well worth the look Thanks!

336 HOURS

20, 160 MINUTES

 You trained your cat to shred wrapping paper   Why didn't I think of that

Well it's day #1 of my twelve days of Christmas. Now the torture really sets in

My first clue as to the present contents

Oh yea - I'm beginning to hate my santa already

Everyday I'll post a the new clue. Don't spoil it for others and I won't spoil it for you. The box size already screams mulit-engine

Creative, diabolicall and I absolutly hate it! It's driving me nuts now.

 Only wish I though of it   Why is it next year I see about 20 of these going out

 You'll all know who my Santa is on Christmas morning - he'll be the one sporting a lump of coal

HAHAHA... Me too!  That is awesome terrible Drew!  You must have been VERY naughty to be tortured like that.

Drew

Remember what your mother told you when you were very, very young. 

Beware of strangers bearing gifts......

John

Winter has arrived here.   Now it feels more like the Christmas season is fast approachind.  Temperature at this moment is -27 degress celcius with a windchill it feels like -43 degrees celcius.  And they say it is going to get colder before the night is over.

For DrewH. 

I the happy tree wish you to enjoy the 13 days before Christmas.  Your SS told me I had to reach out each day and present you with your gift.  Unwrap one layer and I then snatch it back to torment you until tomorrow

Thy tree should remember it's dark, scary and vulnerable when in it's box in storage the remaining 11 months of the year

Clue #2 ........... I'm beginning to see a pattern here that has nothing to do with what's inside the box

Don't rush it.   DrewH is excited enough.  Oh I quess we all are.  Haven't even got the tree up yet.  Decided to wait for my youngest daughter to come home on the 18th.  She enjoys doing this and we didn't have the heart to deprive her of this. 

Sitting here listening to a whiney package.  Not bothering me.  I'm in the basement.  Renos going on and we want as much done before Christmas as possible, same for the kitchen.

Is it time yet, is it...................

but only because I have 12 days off and I want my holidays (7 days of work left )

Been off since Nov 25, going back to work on Jan 5.  Not by choice, since I turned 60 last month, I can collect CPP (Pension) early.  Only criteria is I can't earn much income during the month in which I get my first cheque.  So I said the heck with it, I'll take the whole month off. 

Cold here today.  Presently -32 degrees C with a windchill of -47 degrees and getting colder this afternoon.  We are under a windchill warning.  I hear the door bell, better answer it.  Its the friendly snowman asking for a fur coat.  .

Everyone have a great day.  Won't be long and Drew should be posting a the next photo as he deals with a strip-o-package. 

John

I just thought of something while trying to ignore "the package"......I don't recall ever seeing a badge for this build. Do we have one?

edit-- duh! see what this package has done to my sanity! (I already have it in my sig)

Nice Max...I think we're all feeling the pressure...whatcoulditbewhatcoulditbewhatcoulditbe???

Ahem...

Sounds wonderful John, too bad those renos had to get in the way of having a relaxing holiday!

 I have mine up. Been up since the 2nd - wifey insists!

And yup! I'm going to open my strip-o-package
I think I know what it'll say too

Well, I was presently (yes, I get the irony of that) surprised by this one. It's an actual clue!

Hmmm..... Either my Santa really knows me.........or I already figured that out from the size of the box Assuming he/she used the original box Wonder how small of a box I can fit a twin engine bomber into next year
