Tradition. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: Clive on December 18, 2007, 06:36:50 AM Work my ass off to get everything done before I leave for my folks' house (it's their turn this year).
Not really expecting anything. The spawn is getting some cool stuff, though. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: Walfredo on December 18, 2007, 07:21:31 AM Having dinner at the in-laws Sunday night. Then dinner at my aunts with the whole family on Christmas Eve. I'm trying to make Christmas Day just my wife, son and I hanging out at home.
I'm getting some good stuff. A new watch, coat, jeans, boots. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: spacey on December 18, 2007, 09:07:57 AM Dinner/festivities at my parents' place on the 24th. The wife is working all day (12 hours) on the 25th. I might go to a friend's place for dinner/drinks in the evening.
Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: Spanky on December 18, 2007, 09:59:22 AM Christmas eve night at my parent's house. Christmas morning at home, then over to the Mother's in Law house for the rest of the day. Nothing like a full day and a half of euphoric kids opening presents, stuffing faces with food and the inevitable "Dad this is broken".
Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: Aske on December 18, 2007, 10:03:13 AM i forgot to mention:
lots of drinking. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: Fuzzy on December 18, 2007, 10:18:09 AM grrrrr........We had our plans set. My folks on the 22nd and Susan's on the 23rd (southern MN about an hour apart) and then home for nice quiet Christmas week.
Last weekend we both had siblings pee in the pool and plans fell through. Of course WE were expected to change plans with happy faces and no issues whatsoever. So we are now going to my in-laws on the 25th and my parents on the 29th. There's more under the surface (parents who think that everyone has to be home together at the same time, Susan volunteering to work on the weekend of the 29th for others and now having to figure something else out) but in the grand scheme of things it isn't all that bad. Frankly, this is the one time of year I wish we lived a lot further away from relatives. It's much harder to change plans when plane tickets, etc. are involved. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: Uisce Beatha on December 18, 2007, 10:21:57 AM Sunday - Christmas Open House with baked ham, wassail, holiday music, etc. Trying to figure out how/if the NFL fits into those plans.
Monday - Probably work half day. Christmas Eve service in the evening. Tuesday - Santa in the AM then off to SLC to hang out with our thankfully small family. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: dystopia on December 18, 2007, 06:06:51 PM Christmas Day with the in-laws.
Our office shuts down for the week, so I'll be kickin' it back at home. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans?

Post by: stegerman on December 18, 2007, 07:28:42 PM Heading over to MIL's, kick back all day. Got wind she bought the family one of these.

Got wind she bought the family one of these. http://www.networkingaudiovideo.com/pictures/wii.jpg Kick ass! Have fun. How brilliant are those Nintendo exec.s? They turn the hardest to find, hottest gift of the '06 Christmas season, into the hardest to find, hottest gift of the '07 Christmas season. Elmo didn't have *feces* on them. Sony suits may be saying blah blah to the gamer magazines, but you know it's their kids coming home whining for a Wii every night, just like everybody else. G.I. Joe with the Kung Fu grip.

Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on December 19, 2007, 04:21:46 PM We're hosting the Christmas festivities for my mom's side this year. We will have our own little family time together on Christmas Eve. :)
Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: MP on December 24, 2007, 01:51:05 AM Xmas eve : dinner with my mom, new stepdad, sister and her family.
Xmas eve night: heading to a local casino for some holdem with a friend Xmas day: absolutely nothing. literally. my sister will be away at her in-laws all day, i'll be house sitting her house. can't really call friends because they're with friends. so i'll be doing nothing. Title: Re: What are your x-mas plans? Post by: APTech on December 24, 2007, 05:18:48 PM I went back home to ND last week. Could have played golf if I had brought some golf balls along. 50º + on Wed & Thu. Reality set in on Fri with some snow and blowing snow. Stayed at my bro's house and went to see my mom at the nursing home for a few hours each day. My sister had her kids at her house on Sunday, and as it is on my way back to Mpls, I went there for a few hours, and watched the nieces and grand-niece, sis and ex bro in law open presents. Left for Mpls at 4 and drove for 5+ hours. Arrived at the house, unpacked the car, and watched the Queens get humbled and went to bed.
Got up this morning and went in to work. Didn't do anything, but I was there. Two editors and a photographer were they only other staff there. I did clean out the C-band dish as the signal on the sat system was low. Xmas day I will relax and watch tv, and surf the net. I might get ambitious and clean out my driveway. Either that or I'll bribe the kid two doors down to do it for me. That's more likely than me doing it. He can use his dad's quad with the blade and make a few bucks. |
