I actually have to work for 6 hrs on Christmas, but I get holiday pay (+4 hours added to my total amount of hours worked) and I'll be handsomely rewarded at $15.00 an hour. So it's worth it I guess. But I'm headed straight home afterwards for presents and good food.

 

[Sableye~]

Good luck surviving that, Sector. D:

I don't really have plans, aside from going back and forth between looking forward to Christmas and dreading it. I was never real excited (I haven't been able to make myself care much for years now) for its coming, yet I still am unhappy that this part of the season is nearly over.

You guys went and started talking about coffee and now I want to make tea. I:
(I finally found decent decaffeinated black tea...I have to avoid caffeine until my new piercings heal.)

I'd just like to stay home and do nothing for Christmas, but somehow or other someone always ropes me into going somewhere for dinner with someone's family. Always awkward eating dinner with someone's family.

I go to my aunt's party every year and I know that feeling of dealing with awkward relatives asking you questions like "Do you have a girlfriend/Are you ating anyone?" or "Why don't you have a job yet?" .

This is a good way to deal with that XD:



(Slight foul language. Not meant to be serious obviously.)

I'm used to having kids around being noisy are heck. The only thing that bothers/annoys me is when the kids keep asking me to same gosh damn questions every 10 minutes. I have 29 nieces & nephews, I'm always talking or hanging out with at least one of the kids everyday. Yeah. Its nothing new. That's why when people say having a kid or two is so tiring at the end of the day, I just wonder how they would deal with things if they were in my shoes. Maybe because my stamina or whatever its called is sky high or something? I can do stuff for hours straight without needing a break. I guess I got problems. Ha

I think I'm going to be dragged over to my in-laws' house for christmas. Which, okay, I don't mind so much since they live only a few blocks away. I'd rather have that than the annual "hey let's go out to West Virginia to visit grandparents and relatives I still barely know". :P Although, I wouldn't be surprised if I was also poked into helping them cook as well.

I miss Christmas at my parents' house, but alas they live several states away and we didn't think to make plans in time to fly down there this year. :(

 

[Sableye~]

I don't know that I could tolerate that, Sector. I don't spend much time around kids, and I pretty much become a clumsy idiot around them haha. I would not make for a very good mother.

Ahaha I remember having Christmas dinner with my great aunt and uncle when I was a kid. I think that's the only time I've spent Christmas with people other than close family. Haven't done that in years, but I don't mind. It's different being around my aunt now that my uncle is dead. Besides, spending the holiday with her and her boyfriend might be a little weird.

Christmas this year is just going to be me and my parents.. my brother has to work on Christmas this year since he took off for Thanksgiving and the work he does requires someone to be on staff at all times.

 

[Alexander Nicholi]

This year I'm going to be having two Christmases; one with my father in one with my mother. Christmas with my dad is going to suck - he'll probably get me something stupid like last year when he bought me a "bike computer" as a joke on how much I love computers. Note: my dad is a horrible gift-giver. One year for my parents' anniversary he got my mother (who was in the Army at the time) an amplifier. He's a guitarist! ><

Christmas with my mother's going to be a lot better, though, which we're having next Sunday. She hopefully got that WD 1.5 TB external hard drive I wanted, and she says I'm getting $100 to spend off of her credit card, of which $75 is going to me as Tier 6 supportership and the other $25 to two other people here. :3

 

[Kanzler]

I now know how Starbucks sells its overpriced sandwiches: they feed the people working their for hours on end, like me on this unfortunate day :(

 

[Tsutarja]

I've heard that Starbucks coffee is rather expensive, even though I've never had to buy any nor do my parents ever buy from them. Usually when my parents get coffee on their way to work, they stop at Dunkin Donuts.

 

[Kanzler]

Yeah I'm not much of a coffee connoisseur myself, haven't figured out which brands are better than the others. All I know is give me that French Vanilla :P

 

[Dter ic]

It's been decided that on Christmas we're going to chruch in the morning. (I find it amiusing finding out what presents the children get - last year one said they got an iPhone) Then watch the first hunger games film after in preparation for the second film at the cinema on boxing day. Finally a nice roast turkey to finish the day off ;)

 

[Tsutarja]

Our Christmas dinner is pretty much going to consist of everything we had for Thanksgiving, except that we're having ham instead of chicken. Every Christmas we have ham, though the side courses tend to change, with the exception being green bean casserole.

 

[Treecko]

My Christmas dinner is usually whatever my aunt makes. She's Lebanese so lots of Lebanese food; Kibbeh, spinach pies, Lebanese rice (which I forget the name of) , etc and the typical things you have at a Christmas party turkey, ham, stuffing, pumpkin or apple pie, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. I love coming to her house for the Lebanese food though. So good. <3

 

[Aeroblast]

I'm guessing that I'm going to spend the entire Christmas playing on my new PS4.

 

[Mark Kamill]

We're probably just gonna have various meats, and what not. In other news we put together a heating system to day that makes the house smell like heating gas and well, it smells. Nothing serious, but enough to mellow you out. I'm kinda liking it.

 

[Hiatus]

For Christmas dinner, we usually have mashed potato, baked chicken, green salad, samosas, and some vegetable soup. When we're done eating, we get to have hot chocolate. I like 'em sweet, personally, so I always put about three to four spoons of sugar into my cup. :p

 

[Honest]

I fixed up the forum splash guys :D I'll be honest, I really like this one. Much better than the previous ones

 

[Mark Kamill]

I'm never ever leaving the DCC thanks to that. EVER.
