I did go on strike one year. The kids went to the other parent's house for the holidays so I didn't put up a tree, decorate at all or cook anything. I told dh we are having leftovers, just pick what you want to eat and heat it in the microwave and put your dishes in the dishwasher. Was rather fun since he's the one who said he didn't think doing all that Christmas stuff was necessary. Christmas was just another day. He was a little disappointed.
Annie, check your really high channels too. I didn't think we got it either, but I found it on channel 504. I had no idea to look that high. If you do have it, see if they are showing it again. Even though the website only shows 8:00, Where I live in California they showed it at 5:00 and will show it again at 9:00.
