Don't know why I told a story from yrs. ago...we had almost as big a wreck this yr.
Xmas eve, and forty people showing up at seven. Had been cooking for two days. My daughter bakes a cake that was harder than nails, my husband and friends all get early gifts of a nice single malt scotch and had been enjoying it...didn't notice the smoker had gone out...so the brisket wasn't done. And I start getting pounded by the nasty little beast. I have no dessert or meat...so while I'm pacing and cussing, I had my kids start setting up a hell of a bar. Give them enough booze...they won't notice the food. Everyone left happy!
Christmas morning at 7, our transformer blows...so we have no power. We have no coffee, heat, no hot cinnamon rolls. Then we discover that when it blew....it blew out our big TV. What a shame......
I'm now on my way to BestBuy....I've really been wanting a flat screen!!!!

When ya say that the transformer blew, do ya mean the big can on the power poles that the electric company is responsible for maintaining? If so, make sure the electric company pays for that new flat screen... A nice big one.

These stories are killing me  . I can't think of anything too crazy!
I can remember the one year that Christmas dinner consisted of twinkees & 7-up in a car because we were trying to get home from Tahoe in a snow storm.
Then there was the year that mom cooked the turkey and then realized when it was done that she had forgotten to remove the insides!! ???

It's nice to know there are other Nam vets here...
I turned 21 during Tet of 69. Most of the weapons caches were found that year and the Tet offensive was minimal. Thank God. I was a hospital corpsman attached to the 2nd Batt 1st Mar Div about 12 klicks south of Da Nang. Not much fun turning 21 in the rice paddies and jungle while the rain is pouring so hard you can't see 10 feet in front of you!
And this years Christmas....
12:08 AM get woke up by the beast but he only sticks around for about an hour.
2:00 AM get a call from a hysterical daughter in law who has the flu. She's got a temp and is puking and wants to go to the ER.
3:00 - 4:00 AM drive to the ER and back with a shadow at 5 - 6 Kip in a snow storm. Road visibility is about 15 feet on I-70. We live in the country, I'm the first one to blaze the trail on the road home.....
The day got better after that. And the beast left me alone except for a "quickie" around 8AM....
Gee, wonder what happens next year?!
