Anything exciting at all?

I'm just working. And getting big paychecks. And buying a new computer, hopefully!

Going to the parent's on Christmas. Also attending various family gatherings for both girlfriend's family and other parts of my family. So yeah, basic stuff.

This year, I'm going to my aunt's house for a Christmas Eve Party and give away coloring pages for my cousins. Yep, I've made the pages myself and giving the gift of art interaction! :D

Besides work, it's sounds like fun. :)

Free ice skating paid for by the wonderful company I work for. I will take pics of me falling on my ass if it happens.

And then also unfortunately going to Maryland.

I usually go to my mom's for Christmas, and then my dad's thereafter for a few days. There's also some sort of work party the week before.

Where will you be in Maryland?

Working.

No holidays for me. Christmas Day is a work day just like any other day of the year.

Baltimore and Pikesville

Baltimore is mostly terrible, so I can understand your negative sentiment.

Shiny

Yes, and it doesn't help that I will be taking the Bolt Bus which goes through the worse possible areas in Baltimore. The only thing I some what enjoyed was the aquarium, but I've been to it so many times now that I'm jaded by it. Definitely not a recommended vacation stop. I'd rather go to Cali and sit in the hot springs tbh.

Rantz just informed me that we will be eating roast beast that he caught and wrangled with his own hands for Christmas dinner.

I will be going back to my parents for a couple of weeks and helping with all the Christmassy stuff since I won't be having Christmas with the family next year!

I'm gonna be in charge of the dinner, and I'll probably end up making all the desserts too.
Salted caramel and chocolate torte I think. Oh yeaaaaaaaah :heart:

Then on Boxing Day I'll be seeing my Dad and his family for a massive buffet and drinkies and probably an afternoon of Wii games and other such nonsense :D

Either Nebraska to visit my fiance's family or a resort in the mountains with my fiance in solitude.

I prefer the latter.

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays? :eyebrow:

I'm going to be playing videogames and eating lots of stuff.

As soon as I'm done with classes my break will mostly consist of non-stop drinking.

first we open presents and eat with my family, then we go to his family's dinner and have enough room for dessert. My mom is hoping to get a family portrait done at Wal-Mart, all 6 of us kids plus my hubby and my baby and my mom's parents. I'm excited for that :D

Boxing Day is clearly a made-up holiday that exists because people want Christmas again. Of this I am certain.

As for me, bleh. I'll be playing with dog. That's it. That's all I ever do.

Two Christmas Days works! Christmas with my mother and her family, Boxing Day with my father and his family. :D

Most likely going to do the same as every year. Go to my grandparents' house on Christmas Eve, then meet up with some friends afterward to play some Spycraft, then spend Christmas Day trying to ruin every picture of myself that anyone tries to take.

My family will be making extremely delicious food, so I'll be visiting them.

Usually go shopping in the city on Boxing Day though....might as well get things for cheap.

EEEEEEEEEEEE! Excited! Going to my home town for New Year's Eve! This involves hanging out with my lovely childhood friends, getting drunk, baking cookies, and just having a serious bitchin' ass time.

Waiting for the rest of my family to enjoy their Christmas while I have to fucking wait until new years day to get anything. Not my fault my brothers live all over the place and have kids! They get to have Christmas on Christmas but I don't :mad2: I want my new PC case NOA!

Spending the holidays with family and friends. My sister came in from Cold Lake Alberta. It was a long drive for her and her boyfriend but they made it here just in the nick of time. I got some of my gifts early, a couple of sweaters, two HDMI cables, a 30$ iTunes Gift Card, and a 22" LED HDTV. We also went to see the Hobbit (IMAX 3D) on the 19th. It was such a great movie, can't understand why the critics gave it such low scores :/ Today I'm going to the Science of Technology Museum with my sister then getting a haircut and shave right after. Not sure what the rest of the week brings but I'm sure it'll be good :)

Hopefully going snowboarding again for New Years. I just hope I don't hurt my ass crack like last time. For Christmas I was with my bf's side of the family and went to four different houses to visit different parts of his family then we played a drinking game with his cousins. Day after that we went to the mall and played games at Dave and Busters. Despite not having as many gifts this year I still had a great time. I also tried something called Russian tea cake. If anyone has the home made recipe to that please give!

I am now in New Jersey with my dad and his family, and will probably stay here through New Years. It's always a pretty good time here, as they have tons of alcohol. My step-mom is arriving tomorrow, and then I'll have my second Christmas.

Mexican Wedding Cakes Recipe & Video - Joyofbaking.com *Video Recipe* (http://www.joyofbaking.com/Mexican%20Wedding%20Cakes.html) these are also known as Russian Tea Cakes apparently!

We also had a Christmas Eve party with his side of the family that was full of family drama as all of his family's events are :D There will probably be a New Year's Eve party with his family too, but we're going to the one his friends are throwing, too bad I won't be able to drink this year :( but at least we'll be away from the drama! :D
