Chorizo stuffing sounds great! I did linguiça, pear, & pomegranate the year before last.
We've got 11 or 12 including the spouse and myself this year.
Tangzhong dinner rolls and a bunch of sides for me(incl. pom+cranberry beans salad even if only I eat it). My dad is bringing the cranberry sauce.

(I spent roughly two years thinking debris as I read it and debris as I heard it were two different words with generally similar meanings)
If I'd known the term at the time I probably would have thought they were a doublet

Rendezvous and debris and a few other French origin words that I read while very young and hadn't heard generally still get an internal translation in my head.

They had a whole section with really cute Zodiac ones too that I could have sworn I had pictures of but I'm not seeing them.
A great Singapore Merlion too that I am not finding.

We inherited her cat who never used to give us the time of day (except to yell at us for food if she was a few minutes late getting home from work)
He is the biggest cuddle monster now.

Had a celebration of life for a dear friend last year, and I put together a music accompanied slideshow for it. She was a huge Bowie fan, his older stuff mostly, but she had listened to Blackstar a lot in her last few months so I had to include some in the show. Fuck cancer.

Funny sitting photos are my favorite.
A few years ago I got a "Check out the new photo creation we've made for you!" notification from Photos.
And what it presented me with was this, I just about fell over laughing.

Many years ago a friend of my parents was working for them in some sort of admin assistant role until they tried to claim a book she had written while not at work was covered by her contract as a work for hire and she needed to give them royalties. Minor in contrast to the rest, but still a wow!

Living under him as governor I don't think that's right. Mind you, this is not an endorsement of him... He's plenty bad and a bit of a weather vane, but not like what is going on in the UK

Our oldest is Electro and has a rotating set of ranks and last names based on recent hijinx (e.g., Admiral Scrambles, Captain BiteyFace, Ensign Klutzo).
The other ones mostly have short ditties. Tommy-> Tim Tam Tommy Cat
