Here are some images both secular and religious of Christmas Eve. For those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas. For those who do not celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays.

This year is so different. My husband and I always went to 6 am mass Xmas morning. This year they are not offering it so at present he has me going to midnight mass with my parents. He wants to go to church with his siblings. I would go with him but his sister is very domineering I try to play nice but lately I just want to smack her. Truly not the Xmas spirit.
She is one of the few people who push my buttons.
Time to get moving snow waits for no one. Till later.3 -

Exercised?: Yes. 6km in 46 mins (hills)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Good pace today.
Dinner with family tomorrow. Christmas for me is about family. May be my first pass day in a while.
Helped someone else set up a racing drone today. Suddenly realised how much tech knowledge goes into these things. Not so much a learning curve as a learning cliff for the newcommer.
Well under on calories too.
Merry Christmas all for tomorrow.

So I fell off the wagon eating way too much, not tracking, some times exercising so times not. No winner's circle for me. Interesting what kind of started things was my Fitbit of two years stopped syncing. I know lots of people who report troubles but mine has been performing fine until the two year mark. I know it isn't accurate but it's consistent. Made a good maintenance tool for me. Think I will uninstall and then reinstall. If that doesn't work I will hit the after Christmas sales.
Yesterday got a good winter hike in. About ready to head out again. We have snow but ground isn't frozen so can't cross country ski.
Of course my timing is all off with my eating. I am tried of eating too much of the wrong stuff. I am ready to go back to feeling right when I eat right and my sister in laws dinner feast starts at 3:00pm.!!! We have Christmas dinner at our house tomorrow. All my family's favorites.
Oh well!! At least I sure can't feel depraved. I plan the reasonably these next two days. The urge to eat sweets is gone!

A white Christmas Eve with snow on the horses’ back. It always amazes me to see unmelted snow on a horse’s back. My horses are at liberty to be outside or inside. They usually choose to be outside6 -
This old barn is a post and beam construction. It was built over 100 years ago by hand. The frame work is held together with wooden pegs, not nails nor bolts.
I choose not to paint it. We keep a watertight roof on it7 -
Merry Christmas from RangerRickL and Rose.
Today’s snowfall makes the house look magical.
@craigo3154 I wanted our home to use some of the design features of Australian ranch (station) houses. We have lived here for 25 years. It’s too big for two old people, but I love living near to town but still in the country.
Love to all of you!

Lovely photos Rick. Pass day - have not tracked today - probably not that much over calories though. Walked round a Sunday market this morning - was quite misty and frosty first thing, and quite cool. No snow fortunately. @2020pinktogo I do feel for you having to shovel all that snow. I hope we all have a lovely and peaceful few days. Off to wrap some presents! (Still no Brussel sprouts to be found. Did get some parsnips though - the French don't really eat them, and my husband doesn't like them so all the more for my sister and I.)3

Awesome pics @RangerRickL. Made me miss my village where I grew up.
Exercise: Yes. (Lots of snow related exercise today. Sliding with a wooden sled for more than 2 hours and I also participated in an annual local snowball fight in our neighbourhood.)
Calories: Yes.
Tracking: Yes.

So found out we are having an unexpected guest to dinner tomorrow. No big deal I have a gift box in the attic just in case such an emergency should arise. I know exactly what to pull that would be perfect. UGH!!!! I told my daughter to help herself to anything in the attic. LOL. So the hour before the local grocer is closing I am getting lottery tickets for a gift.
It's not perfect but it is something. I guess I need to rework on the gift box and hide it better. 2 -
@RangerRickL those pictures are majestic!
@craigo3154 I think this is my 5th month for UAC and I’ve never seen you take a pass day, I hope you enjoy a slight deviance from your normal routine
@2020pinktogo sometimes unexpected drop ins are the best gift. Good luck with the snow.… I don’t blame you steering clear of your SIL, I have one that latches on to me and bores me with WW2 talk all the time.
@BadgerLamb236 we don’t have Christmas markets here and I have to go right out of my way to get Glüewein even, I’m a tiny bit envious!
Merry Christmas to all, wishing you peace and joy

@RangerRickL I enjoyed seeing your pics Thanks for sharing.
Yes to 3. 30 min walk.2 -
Yes x 3 One hour walk in the village with husband and 30 minutes of exercise & stretching video.
@RangerRickL Loved the pics. Not surprised you like to ride if you have your very own stable. Lucky you!
Holiday memories are based on reflection. Regardless of faith, religion or creed, hoping each of you will be blessed with joyous memories.2 -

Ugh, time for bed. I am not feeling well. Hopefully it is just something I ate and not the stomach flu creeping in on me the day before Christmas with my parents! I met all three goals today. Tomorrow may be a different story, but I guess it will largely depend on how my stomach feels!1

We went to a lovely Christmas Eve service in which dozens of children sang and participated in a Christmas story pageant. Rose & I returned home to listen to Christmas music on Pandora’s classical Christmas channel. Just lovely music!
