@Blonde_Bunny’s recent meme - I actually laughed out loud 
The accuracy is real.

We heard today that our new back door (this really isn’t a euphemism) will be fitted tomorrow.
Since the summer ours won’t unlock without forcing the bolt with a knife between the door and the frame. Not good for the dog - he is forever on the wrong side of the bloody door.
The whole thing is rotten and we can see daylight around the edges of the frame so it is draughty…
We accepted a quote for a new one ages ago but there is a national glass shortage (who knew? Covid? Brexit?). Now it is arriving.
I know this is boring domestic snash but it will make our little kitchen a lot cosier and safer, and our dog will love us all the more.
I have successfully organised and completed a house maintenance task. That fact alone is worth cracking open a bottle of something…

I need to remember to be cheerful every now and again so I don’t break Melody’s flow.

Finding some presents for people that I’m really excited to give to them. I love seeing the faces of loved ones when they unwrap something perfect they’re not expecting

You see that there is why my husband hates presents. For his whole life, he felt like a performing monkey opening presents and having to put on this performance cos they wanted to look at his face when opening a present. It totally destroyed presents for him forever. I find it really sad, because @AmyA, like you, I do like seeing a face full of joy at a perfect present.
Edit: Sorry, that wasn’t very cheerful.

I am the same, opening presents in company, especially if they’re rubbish presents, i am not that good an actor!

At 1 point, i was genuinely warned about a present from grandparents in advance. It was something I’d previously made clear i didn’t want and wouldn’t use so my parents warned me so I’d have chance to prepare my reaction

I thought a v-neck jumper( anyone who knew me, knew i was strictly jeans and rock t-shirt) was a joke present and asked where my proper present was, oh the embarrassment on their faces!

A friend sent me a video ad of ‘Now That’s What I Call A Corona Christmas’. It cracked me up and would be about the only Christmas album I’d willingly buy!

Watching the Mandalorian, it is absolutely brilliant.
Thoroughly loving it. I actually think it is better than the Star wars films.

On the subject of awkward presents…
One Xmas about 20 years ago my brother and his wife presented us with a big flat thing. Oh god. We removed the wrapping to reveal…
…a pencil drawing, copied from a photo of our dog that I’d once emailed to them. It was (a) HUGE and (b) atrocious, clearly done by someone who had the drawing skills of a gnat. It didn’t look anything like our dog …or indeed any dog we’d ever seen. In fact, if you’d owned a dog who looked like the one in this picture, you’d have had it put to sleep out of mercy, just to save it the embarrassment of being alive. After several seconds of glassy-eyed, slack-jawed silence, we did our best to look rapturously delighted. I’m not sure we convinced anybody.
Fortunately we lived a long way away from them and were thus never subjected to a visit. Just as well, as we’d disposed of the hideous thing in a service station bin on the motorway home!
