Back at ya Bear.
Running to the grocery store today, and finishing wrapping.
Still looking for stocking stuffers (always looking for them. Can't we just outlaw the stockings thing past age, say, 10?)

This is interesting. Is this normal for the Fed on certain non-weekend days?
Christmas Eve 2019: What’s open, what’s closed Dec. 24?

Most government workers have Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) off and federal offices are closed after President Donald Trump issued an executive order last week.

“Executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed and their employees excused from duty on Tuesday, December 24, 2019, the day before Christmas Day,” the order said.

Anyway, mail delivered as usual today, but PO closes early.

I meant the EO from Trump. IDK if that's a normal tradition or not (probably is).

GF's Weathertech cupfone arrived!!!!


They came through and shipped it Fed Ex 2 day when they got around to filling it. IDK how they made much money on that but hopefully they get some kind of corporate-negotiated discount. Anyway, good on them. Good customer service.

[FranC]

Slow down, tib You might trip.

 

[SilverBear]

... cupfone

Well, then... never mind the post about floor liners. (They're good stuff, anyway. The liners.
And the box would use up a LOT of wrapping paper.)

 

[SilverBear]

"List Stuff" done. Now just finding little things... eg: top off aquarium, clean kitchen
sink. That kind of crap.

Hubs is ushering and collecting at the early (10pm) "midnight mass" tonight, so I'll make
a last pass through the house when he leaves. (How can they call it "midnight" when it's
10pm... and doesn't an actual midnight mass have some special meaning? Dunno,
don't really care.)

Meeting him after he gets out of work for our annual Christmas Eve dinner out.

Good old Wikipedia!!!

"
Roman Catholicism
The practice of celebrating Midnight Mass is traditional in the Roman Catholic Church, although
many churches now hold their "midnight" Mass at an earlier hour. Since 2009, the Pope has
celebrated this Mass at 10:00 pm,[2] and as a result the official liturgical designation of these
texts has been Mass during the Night since 2009. However, when the Mass does occur at midnight,
it is still commonly called "Midnight Mass".
