Did you get kissed last New Year’s? Do you hope to get kissed this New Year’s?

Does a peck on my cheek from my mom count as a New Year's kiss? Then yeah, I did. This year, a real New Year's kiss would be really nice.

Have you ever been ice skating?

Yeah, tons of times. I have so many great memories of playing hockey with friends after school when the ice was thick enough during winter. Sadly enough, the amount of time spent on the ice is not as much as it used to. Adulting sucks, less time to play, know what I mean?

[sammyjevans]

happy friendsgiving!

[sammyjevans]

Mittens or gloves?

If I don't forget to bring them with me, gloves. So most of the time, I put my hands in my pockets to stay warm.

You better hurry; before you know it, all the good ones will be gone. Okay, I can understand having some candy on hand for yourself; we all need a little sugar pick-me-up at times. But for students? Aren't they super active in class that way?

Uh, still not really going at all yet? Yeah, not gonna lie, I'm still being lazy. But, at the latest, I'm gonna decorate like crazy right after Thanksgiving. As for my tree, that might take a little longer because I still gotta head out to the Christmas tree farm and find a good one. I think I'm gonna hop on that this coming weekend, though. And for sure, man! Teachers pretty much always need some candy on hand, so now you know. Yes, for the kids, but if I'm being totally honest, I want some on hand for me, too.

I believe it's on the first Saturday in December or something like that. But please don't take my word on it; check the signs on the town square. Exactly, it can't hurt to take a look. If anything, there's a ton of very yummy hot chocolate and all kinds of Christmassy snacks to make the trip worthwhile.

When is that, anyway? I don't think I've ever paid attention to the actual tree lighting, just that at some point the tree is... y'know, lit. I'm not the world's most avid shopper, most of the time, but if it might spark some ideas for gifts this year -- I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot. It can't hurt to take a look, right?

Okay, cool. I'm going to keep an eye on you for the next month to make sure that your blood pressure stays okay. I'm not sure; I've never really been to a singles night at the movie place. Maybe they have longer breaks so you can talk to people then? Maybe there's a small party after the movie? Why does it feel a little like cheating, you can totally tell someone you're walking the dog for the shelter. Trust me, you'd score major bonus points if you let people know you volunteer walking dogs for the shelter. Dude, don't give up hope, there's someone out there that's perfect for you.

Preach! That's so me when it comes to Cap as well. You know what a new movie means, right... rewatching the old ones. And, of course, rewatch the Falcon and the Winter Soldier serie.

I can make no promises for my blood pressure in about a month or so, but for now? No worries. I've never understood how you're supposed to meet someone at the movies -- it's dark and talking is discouraged. It's marginally more understandable for an actual date, if it's something you can discuss afterwards, but as a meet cute? And trawling for dates in the park with a dog I don't actually own feels a little bit like cheating, although I can appreciate the community service part of it. I think I'm probably just an old-school romantic and therefore a lost cause, *SIGH*. YES EXACTLY. I'm excited, but to be fair, it doesn't take much where Cap is involved.

Hmm, okay, I can see how your mind can take that and go straight for the gutter. I really need a filter between my mind and my fingers before I type something out. But trust me, my days as an erotic entertainer are way in the past. Although I never used a pole, I was more like one of those guys from The Merry Gentlemen or Magic Mike. Anyhow... thanks for letting the crew know I'll be dropping by sometime next week, I think. Maybe even Friday is a great excuse to not go crazy during Black Friday.

True, so true!! Leg day is the one thing you can't skip if you work out. Yeah, I know, and I'll keep that in mind.

My dirty mind took me places there hahahahahaha but yup! It's just that easy! I'll let the crew know you'll be there at some point so they can show you how it's done and give you a tour if you're interested.

No matter what, never EVER skip leg day. Awesomeness! Always excited to show someone the ropes. And if in the end, it's not your jam, no harm, no foul, yeah?

[sammyjevans]

Duh!! Of course, I was kidding, although.. the whole best movie in the universe thing is kinda subjective, or however you call it. I mean, for you, it's Wicked. For me, it's Avatar! You heard it right, not any of the Star Wars movies or any Marvel movie (though Endgame comes really close), but seeing Avatar for the very first time... blew my mind!

I can't really judge Wicked at the moment. I haven't seen it yet, and I'm not really planning on watching it until it's streaming somewhere. As soon as I've seen it, I'll get back to you on where it ranks for me, whether it's in my top 10 faves or not.

I know you're joking, I've decided you're joking you have no say in the matter, but I am still a little offended that you think Gladiator II is the best movie in the universe. The first movie was great; they did not need a sequel.

[sammyjevans]

🤣🤣🤣😂😂, I can see you do that. So, forget I ever mentioned it. Bearcreek would not survive if its local fire station cap was dressed in nothing but a loin cloth. Not gonna lie, I had to rewatch that movie to actually check what Wayne said about his guitar. It's not a movie I watch a lot. And yeah, agree with you on Tia rocking that song.

Okay, so another question ... why did the chicken cross the road? Oh, that's actually really cool. I can see that working so close with people in such dangerous situations at times, you can't help but bond on a level that's way more than just colleagues.

hahah! Now, if I were to Gollum I'd strip down to a loin cloth and hunch around proclaiming chocolate as my precccccious. What I said was more in line with Wayne from Wayne's World when he was talking about a guitar, though I can't remember if he said the same about Cassandra. ALSO! Can we take a moment and appreciate how Tia Carrere fucking rocked Ballroom Blitz?! Sweet was the original artist, but they didn't come close to her rendition.

Hey, I love a curious mind, so throw any questions at me. If I can't answer, I'll find out for you. Yes, you basically become part of a fire fam. I've been through a few over the years, but I keep in touch with the ones from past stations. These people have your back and vice versa, so forming a bond with them is crucial.

Eww, just the thought of chocolate nog... nope. That doesn't sound right; it sounds like a terrible idea. If they ever bring it on the market and you happen to see me eyeing it, please hit me over the head or something like that to stop me from buying it.

Also, if you have some hot chocolate with Bailey's on the menu at Eduardo's, I'll be sure to drop by one day soon, cuz yummy!

Now that's what my nephew would dub 'big brained'. Can't go wrong with Hot chocolate. Great with Bailey's, whip cream, and even peppermint. Now I'm wondering if Big Nog isn't trying to appeal to the old-fashioned hot chocolate heads like yourself. If there isn't a chocolate nog already I'd bet money their will be tomorrow.

Go big on the tree. I know it sounds super crazy, especially since you say you have no floor space for one, but think about it. The bigger the tree, the less space there is left to decorate with other stuff. Sure, you might have to move about a chair or a closet, but there's always a corner to find where you can put up a tree. And after that, buy a few Christmas-y-smelling candles, and you're done.

Okay, I’m just gonna ask — who here has tips for decorating a small space for the holidays? So many of you guys are already on the ball and have been from Halloween barreling right on through 'til New Years, but I don’t actually have floor space for a tree, and I’m in an apartment so porch decorations and outdoor lights are a no-go. I’m also Martha Stewart’s polar opposite (and not nearly chill enough to pass for Snoop either), so bear in mind my very limited DIYness. (DIYdom? DIYity? My god that sounds like an STI — “not good at make stuff”).

Sammy: I doubt I left anything laying around there; I mean, I don't remember anything from before I was like 2,5 - 3 years old, really. So sorry if it was a mess. Sammy: No shit, 5 in the morning? That's way toooo early, sis. I plan on watching the parade out of the comfort of my bed, get up and walk a few dogs for the shelter, and then go over to your place. Sammy: What's so special about me bringing a friend? Btw, it's Mack. They're used to my crazy by now so I think they'll be able to handle the insanity that's the Evans. Sammy: I'll bring some beer. And I can make that cranberry sauce I made last year.

Stacey: I tried remembering it but came up short, I'm sure it was left in an a-ok condition for me. Stacey: What day are we having it exactly? Just so I know to book myself completely off of work. Stacey: ooooo Sam's bringing a friend huh? ;) Stacey: I've got no special requests - can I bring anything to help out? A dessert, a card game, a bottle of wine?

What does all this have to do with the best movie in the universe Gladiator II???? I don't remember seeing anyone named Elphaba or Glinda pop up in that movie. Or any of the other names you're talking about really.

You know, with the first part of best movie in the universe coming out this weekend, I've been seeing a lot of that old viral Tiktok with the guy arguing "her sister was a witch bro" making a resurgence. Hell, even Jimmy Fallon and Ariana Grande did a skit. But that begs the question, as funny as the skit is...what the hell is the dude talking about? As an official Broadway Fiyero, I can firmly tell you that no one in Wicked is a princess (Princess Ozma is obviously one, but she's not in the production or movie), and Glinda and Elphaba are not related; Elfie is the only one with a sibling in the play. It's Nessarose, the one in the wheelchair. His argument has always been hilarious but annoying to me. Admittedly, I felt a little vindicated when Daniel Tosh corrected him.

[sammyjevans]

You know I like a challenge😉 Yep, you will. Do you want me to pick you up? Also, if you feel like hanging out before Thursday, let me know, or just drop by my place.

Yeah. I don't tend to do family holidays. I'm a hard person to convince, so I wish you luck. I will see you then, I guess.

[sammyjevans]

Sammy: I'm getting weird ass visions when I read that word.... like, did we leave it behind neatly? Was it still comfy enough for you there after we spent 9 months there??? Sammy: Yeah, I'll be there just before the game starts to help set up. I'm bringing Mack along. It's been a long time since they celebrated Turkey Day, so let's show them how we Evans do it. Sammy: Nope, no special requests.
