Reincarnation of the Christmas thread

New idea. Still what you want for Christmas, but more like what you want to do. Every Christmas Eve for the last 6 or 7 years in my family has been spent at the local homeless shelter because we help serve a meal and hand out presents to them. Then we go home for our own dinner and the same thing always happens.. "Well we'll just open one present.." and we end up opening them all. Dad always holds out though and has something special for us the next morning. Christmas day is spent in pajamas watching old movies. :) Y'all?

Ugh... I don't even know if i'm going to be spending christmas with my family this year... Might be sorta alone this time around. :(

3 day lesson at Laguna Seca? $1400 investment

Hockey in the morning. Steaks in the afternoon. Beer and cards at night.


This year were going on a cruise to the Bahamas though.

Same as I do every year, work as much as I can to avoid as much of the hypocricy as I can.

Then spend New Years with friends.

Things must be rough for you. LMAO.
Christmas Eve we usually go to visit my grandma in the nursing home(pretty much makes my christmas a little shitty seeing everyone in that place), then go to church at around 6 come home, eat, and open presents.
Christmas Day, either go to moms or dads side of the family depending on what year it is.

aww dude don't do that....why can't u go there man?...hell i'd say to come down for a bit and I'll give you a Tan Sweater!


i hang out with my parents,my little bro, and my grandma in the morning/afternoon
then christmas dinner/dessert at my aunt mireille's house...ohh i can't wait for Mimi to make some Trifle... :licka: *drools*

Probably what I do every christmas with my family. Christmas eve we go to church and have a little fellowship and what-not. After that we'll get home have a candlelit family dinner and have a small gift giving at which we all open a small gift, then we will go to bed. Wake up the next morning, gifts, hearty breakfast, lounge, lunch, christmas dinner at a realtives house and the rest of December is mine for the taking. I live on a lake so hopefully I get a new hockey-stick this year as I broke mine last year in a fit of rage and didnt want to break something major. I hope it's a white christmas for Illinois, they are so pretty :smile:.

Christmas eve Usually I go with a candle light vigil and sing some carols with my parents and my brothers. Im pretty sure this year we will be going to visit my grandfather as he may not be with us for much longer. Then christmas day we have a nice breakfast. My uncles and my aunt usually come over and we eat laugh all that good stuff. Exchange gifts while the dogs try to run through the back door since they are usually just as excited as we are. After all that my uncles and my aunt leave then we in the past have met back up around 6 ish at my grandparents. Like I said before though.. Pretty sure we will be done there visiting them more.

Posted by Steel Ugh... I don't even know if i'm going to be spending christmas with my family this year... Might be sorta alone this time around. Man thats no good. I dont think I would be able to handle that. If you come down to maryland you would be more than welcome at my house.

That would suck. A friend of mine is in iraq. First hint of leave wont even be until march. Hope they dont send you till after christmas.

I am probably going to stay home this Christmas. I might go down to the homeless shelter and help out there, if they need any help this year. Open up a present or two on christmas eve then open the rest next morning. Then, after a turkey dinner, sit around and talk.

Since no one has really said what types of gifts they want this year, I'll start that off. I haven't really thought about it much, but one thing I need is a new wallet. Thats all I can think of right now.

Let's see.

Get up in the morning, open presents, chill out, go out/have dinner in, fight with family, go to bed.

Wake up early, run round the house like an idiot with my nephew, build his new lego, get lots of little guy hugs, have lunch, visit my mate and drink beer, act more immature than him, play backyard cricket, eat, wait til the family is asleep, drink more beer. ;)

But this year will also be, "wake up next to gf" think WTF? THEN run round with Tate. (Nephew)
