Only four days left 'til Christmas, and I'm sure everyone is on break from school now, and those of you who work full time have a day off coming up... hopefully. So I was wondering what everyone has planned for the holidays. Christmas, New Years, and the rest.
Personally, I don't have a lot planned. I plan on enjoying my time off of work and lazing around most of the time. I finished up all of my outstanding reports today, which was... boring. Baby-mama is coming home for a few weeks on Sunday and we're spending Christmas together, which will be nice. I guess it will sort of be our first 'family' Christmas because of the baby, which is a weird thought. I think a few days after that we're going to go apartment hunting because we need to find something before the baby comes and it doesn't make sense to rush around a week before it due. Even if we're not living together right away, I'd rather have something before March.
New Years we'll probably party hop just to hang out with friends. Neither of us will be drinking, which again will be super weird because I can't remember a New Years where I haven't been totaled. I plan on disregarding work rules for the one evening so I can hang out with my underage-drinking friends because otherwise it'll kind of suck.
And I guess I go back to work on January 8th, so... lazing around and spending time with baby-mama the rest of the time.
How about you guys?

I go to my brother's with family for both occasions. I never want to, but it's tradition and they get major pissy if I try to break it.

Christmas Eve I'll be having an amazing 12-course dinner (Polish tradition) at my aunt and uncle's together with my family. Christmas Day we're having a bunch of relatives + my aunt&uncle's family come over our house. My mom's cooking, as always, and I'll probably be spending much of Sunday and Monday morning helping her with the cooking.
I love Christmas + Christmas Eve because the food is always great! Mmmmmm pierogi, golombki, bigos, barscz, krokiety, mmmmmmmmmmmm

I've still got a final on Jan 2 because I failed the first attempt... Got overconfident and got just below the minimum grade required for passing...
I'm at the moment working part-time on campus in the mornings until the 24th, then I'm leaving the city in january and travelling to Uruguay the second half of February...
I haven't gone in an actual vacation in three years so it's gonna be nice.

A nice lovo and maybe hit the beach or go to the west.
-
i only get christmas day and boxing day off from work, and ill spend christmas with my parents and just slack off on boxing day.
-
I'm going to work for a few hours, then come home and go to sleep. The sooner Christmas is over with the better.

Lazing around even more than usual is on the agenda for Christmas. Hopefully kicking some GH3 easy mode, old skool style yo.
New year's is never anything special for me, and besides; my girlfriend's is in Spain over the festive Season. So that'll suck some wang.
-
Chillin' like a villain. Mostly that, and trying to get myself in gear for next semester to remedy my pitiful grades, and hopefully pull myself out of this deep academic hole I've put myself in. I'll spend break trying to clear my head and spending time with my family.

Christmas Eve, I'm going to head down to the Arcade and load In the Groove up with a bunch of christmas carols and just Dance for hours, then on christmas day I'll do the same thing by hooking Stepmania up to my Nanna's widescreen television.

This year should be busy.
Tomorrow, we have our traditional Christmas Eve dinner at my parents. My girlfriend is coming over for it and my mom is freaking out because she's scared she won't like it. (Blah blah Canadians dont like our old style food blah blah)
Christmas Day morning me and my girlfriend will wake up, open our presents to each other, cook ourselves a small, light, and fun breakfast together, then we will go seperate ways for a bit (She to her parents for bfast, me to my parents). After that, I have dinner with her parents in the evening
Boxing day, sit on my ass and do nothing until another Christmas Dinner
The day after, another relaxing day with a dinner/party shindig at about 5pm.
On friday, we're going to Toronto to the ROM and just to hang out, have fun for a whole day. Enjoy our vacation
After that, it's nothing really. This new year I am most likely going to sit at home with my girlfriend (and maybe some other pals) and just hang out, ring in the new year and then go to sleep. Don't feel like doing something massive this year
I'm also going to work on some side projects a fuckload every morning for the 2 weeks I have off from work
-
I'll be spending Christmas Eve at my mom's house, then shall be there on Christmas.
On Boxing Day I'll be seeing my mom's boyfriend's family for the day, which is like 30 people big. My family has like 3 people so this should be STRANGE I have not done the big family social before.
I'm moderately excited about it, mostly to see people though. I can't believe it's in a day though.

Is it just me or does it just not feel like it's Christmas in the next day or so?
I mean, I know it IS, but I'm just not feeling it.

Tomorrow, with the magic of Christmas in the air, I will wake up early, get up and get ready and begin the day of greatness.
After a brief bus ride, I will arrive... at work, assisting the fourth whits who still didn't complete their Christmas shopping.

I'll be away on another shitty vacation to Las Vegas for 7 days when I can be doing something productive.
I'm kinda pissed too since no one got me nothing.
I'm REALLY pissed about having to be away from GW. I'm addicted to that shit.
-
your angry that you have to go to las vegas? ...that would be an awesome gift in my mind.
-

We had a pretty nice dinner for Thanksgiving though, so I don't expect any less for Christmas.

Food. Lots of it.
Also, taking it easy with my family.
