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. :(

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 December 23rd, 2013 12:12 PM

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

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 December 23rd, 2013 3:16 PM

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 December 23rd, 2013 3:20 PM

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

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 December 23rd, 2013 3:24 PM

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 December 23rd, 2013 3:33 PM

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 December 23rd, 2013 4:08 PM

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

Mark Kamill December 23rd, 2013 4:42 PM

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 December 23rd, 2013 4:42 PM

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 December 23rd, 2013 5:12 PM

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

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

Much better. I love the Eeveelution lattes. <3 Also you and Andy being the Cafe's baristas. Genius.

Hiatus December 23rd, 2013 5:43 PM

Looks sweet, Dipu. ;] Would've been even more awesome if the picture had two guys serving coffee; one could be you and the other Shining Raichu, haha.

Honest December 23rd, 2013 5:45 PM

Oh, dear, that would be sick. Hm. Let's see if I can mess around with Photoshop during my month off from school. ;3

Tsutarja December 23rd, 2013 5:54 PM

Dipu and Andy photoshopped into the same picture? That I must see.

Nolafus December 23rd, 2013 5:57 PM

The splash is now a favorite of mine throughout the entire forum. It looks great Dipu, nice job.

Honest December 23rd, 2013 6:00 PM

Aha, thanks Slayr :D

And as for the Photoshop, I'm pretty damn terrible with it, so don't get your hopes up lol

Mark Kamill December 23rd, 2013 6:23 PM

I'm watching Origins finally. Red is......special to say the least.

Cordelia December 23rd, 2013 6:49 PM

Nice job Dipu, your splash doesn't look like pupu anymore :D

Mark Kamill December 23rd, 2013 7:01 PM

I still don't get why all the sudden we're a cafe. I mean, okay we've had so much coffee discussions lately, but what was wrong with just Chit Chat?

Alexander Nicholi December 23rd, 2013 8:46 PM

Cause polls aren't important anymore, that's why.

I was stricken with food poisoning for the past two days. My muscles were dried out, my joints were inflamed, not to mention a huge headache too. Pretty much my whole body (particularly my shoulders) was on fire. It was all I could do to sleep! -_-

Long story short, don't ever eat at truck stop cafes… Or at least don't eat their pie, no matter how good the service is.
