Well, as we all know it is almost that time of year again- Thanks giving(united states holiday) Is already 2 weeks aways, Hanuaka will also be starting around the same time as thanksgiving, and then It will be Christmas and New years.
How are you going to spend the holidays?
I know im going to need to save to buy gifts.
-
I haven't thought too far beyond Thanksgiving yet. The fall is always a whirlwind for us over here. :)
-
I think it is hectic for most people, I don't even know what I'm doing for thanksgiving.
-
I spend my holidays the same way I spend every day, Pinky.... trying to take over the world! Erm...I mean, I have no plans for the holidays. I’ll probably go see The Hobbit with my folks on Christmas Day like we did last year, but otherwise it’s just another day.
-
Visiting my girlfriends family one day, my dad the next for thanksgiving. I have no idea what we're doing for hannukah & x-mas. But we are ignoring my mom & step-dad.
-
Polishing my plate
De-rusting my mail
Replacing leather straps
Braiding new points
Sharpening my sword
Washing my gambeson
The usual knightly stuff :)
-
Thanksgiving with my dad
Hotdogs, Lotkahs, applesauce, for Hanukkah.
Then probably see the hobbit, get new armor And I dont know who I will be with for Christmas. I will see al of my family tho.
-
We are hosting both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Thanksgiving with the wife's family, Xmas with mine.

Oh Sir James, when aren't thou cleaning thy armor. 😜

Wife's brother is working and her father wants us over on her birthday instead of thanksgiving...a bit of drama but probably will end up cooking some stuff for the mother in law and the wife and then going to her dad's on the 30th.

Will be similar to Sir James’ day. ;)

Replacing leather straps - ditto
Braiding new points – might have to do this at Christmas time.
Washing Replacing crappy cloth buttons for pewter ones on my gambeson.
Sharpening my sword – Mine’s still good and sharp, but I ordered some guards and a grip to rebuild an antique heirloom ‘civil war era small sword’ that has come to me via my father in-law. :)

After the party there will be burning and pillaging fun for all involved. (We don't need Fallon anyway. ;) )

Didnt king richard and william marshall to awesome stuff well past there 30's?
I need me some mutton, wenches, and a whole lotta ale.
-
Marshal fought in tournaments all the way through his 70s.
-
Eat well, Celebrate well, be thankful and have a Nice Thanksgiving today.

Yes, William Marshall was pretty old before he retired from the battlefield. King Richard I died when he was 41 when he was struck in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt. Actually he died from the infection from said arrow wound....must have hurt like HELL. No antibiotics.....plenty of wine, mead and milk of poppy, hopeefully! Ouch... Butg yeah, tody's my birthday!

Happy birthday

Yes Happy day of birth! Blah! Richard ain't no Scotsman! Like that old scotsman in Braveheart! He got an arrow pulled right out of, drank some whisky, and felt hot iron stabbed into the would! And lived! Also got his hand chopped off. And lived. But later died at the end of the film when he felt cold steel.

Braveheart is hisotrically unnacurate.
William wallace didn't fart lightning bolts in it. Mistake number 1.

Any one else experiencing Rather warm weather the past few days, I heard it was 81 degrees in North carolina. it was about 70 yesterday in South east p.a.
P.s. Christmas Already!
-
The weather has been completely schizophrenic over here. About three days ago, we had a few inches of snow on the ground. Then it literally melted overnight. Sure, it left everything wet and muddy, but the first official day of winter was marked by some rather nice weather. Frankly...I'm okay with this. 8)
-
I was doing some work outside of the house this past weekend with a t-shirt on. It was crazy. Now today it's getting back to being pretty cold here in Virginia. At least it'll feel like Christmas. ;)
-
Ya its cold again now in PA but it is supposed to flurry on christmas day, but id prefer snow on the eve. Im still glad ill get a sorta white christmas.
Everyone Have a Merry Christmas

I took my armor to my parents house to take pics of myself with a santa hat and sword, and also laying under the tree with a big red bow on. I forgot my boots, which, okay, I can deal with, kinda. I forgot my gauntlets too. I got frustrated and shrugged out of my arming clothes. I'll take the missing bits and get some pics on Monday after work; parents said they'll still have the tree up.
Ironically, I got a box from the Ukraine today. USPS still says "Origin post is preparing shipment". So huzzah for armor! :D
(Yes, pics will be provided tonight - have to get some laces & clips on the stand first)
my wife is the best! From Allan at merc tailors!
Congrats!

Well then, pictures! And congrats!
Oh, and at some point, you need to take some pictures towering over the godzilla figures, making menacing gestures towards them.

If you don't mind sacrificing a helm "for science", I'm game. :)

In a choice between looking at it, or hitting it with a mace, I wanna hit it with a mace :D
