Nothing says holidays like Christmas cookies.

That container was full a bit ago.....

 

Making a special delivery with a Pre-War American Flyer Train (2nd entry) Merry Christmas!

 

Lots of cookies this year.

 

Better late than never ... this is Thanksgiving dinner for two. Mrs. FLW is sitting in front of a family heirloom, a mid-19th century grandfather clock of British provenance that's been in my family since the early 1920s.

 

Whew! I almost missed my opportunity to partake in the fun!

Christmas is a time for family gatherings (all puns are intentional) Speedy 145.012, 2500C PO, SM300BT


And Luna and the 2500C PO for our first Christmas together

 

Couldn’t resist an ‘homage’ to Daniel Craig for my festive entry.
Just the outfit for a bit of pool cleaning ready for the Xmas hols.


NB yes, it’s a Speedy - my old Seamaster is too old for the pool

 

28 hours snd 16 minutes left until the deadline {if you’re reading this at 7:44pm CST, Saturday, December 8th}

 

Photo submission #1.

Continuing to give the new battery powered Christmas lights from Walgreens the old college try...the blue lights are my fave.

Thanks for doing this, Paul.

 

Whoa, the production values on one of those shots is sadly lacking

 

- good times!

Agreed, just a scrap of rope and no hat! Not much left after renting the tuxedo (and Craig) I guess.

 

Summer ready, warm Christmas in the land down under.

 

First entry to the contest.

Ok I have deleted my first photo and are now putting all my chips in these two photos Created from scratch by me... quite an achievement since I am not very creative. I was supervised by the kids...

We all know that Magnum PI wore a GMT so here he is. Somehow his evil elf-Magnum PI-twin also showed up and is lurking in the shadows


See the resemblance (This photo not part of the contest of course)

 

Second enten for the contest.

And here Magnum is again. This time his evil elf-twin agreed to a photo. He is still looking suspious

 

A late entry from me . Santa looking miserable after drinking Romanian beer. He is miserable because he only got one. I drank the other 3.

 

For the record, @Darlinboy ...since the U.S. Navy saw to it that I would NOT be issued a watch [and like it!]...as well as the fact that I’m still ‘milwatchless’ which is not my fault due to the fact that I got ‘railroaded’ down a ‘railroad watch rabbit hole’...I’m really gunning for the 1987 Hamilton GG-W-113...which would also be era appropriate since I entered military active duty in 1986...hint, hint, hint.

LATE ENTRY @Darlinboy: I changed my mind...please consider the file photo below ‘Photo submission #2’ if it helps my ridiculously miserable case...cold, hard proof of what the U.S. Navy did NOT do...in other words, feel sorry for me. Also, the watch pictured below is my beloved and faithful Seiko 6309-7049 automatic that I purchased new at the NAS Whiting Field NEX in 1987 during U.S. Navy primary pilot training...all because the U.S. Navy did NOT issue me a watch! I’m requesting that you sound reveille 5 minutes earlier than normal tomorrow [as well as on subsequent days] so that you can take the time to feel sorry for me more.

LATE ENTRY ADDENDUM @Darlinboy: Some very important information has been added to the LATE ENTRY above...please read it at your earliest convenience.

Photo submission #2.

 

Some colors of Christmas, including rose gold from 1966:

 

I consider this attemp to convince the judges ground for disqualification. LOL

 

Ho, ho, ho, happy holidays to all.

 

Way prettier than tinsel ever thought of being!
