What are your plans for Christmas?
Just wondering what everyone is doing for christmas.
On christmas eve i must go to mass (again, had to go to a mass at school because its a catholic school) and sit there for an hour before to get good seats then another hour for the mass. Then I will trek my way to my uncles, eat good food, open presents (pretend to like them), be attacked by all my little cousins, and watch some of the 24 Christmas Story. Christmas is nice. its at my house. Some people come over eat drink, and be merry. Its all good! Jimmy

I am off work from the 23rd to Jan 3rd. I had the good fortune to meet and become friends with a girl who happened to be from my hometown about a year ago. She is giving me a ride to my parents house on the 24th.  (otherwise i could not go). We do our thing on Xmas eve, so, we will do our thing, and probably just sit around after that. But my parents' yard will probably have lots of pretty lights up, and my mom will have decorated the "christmas pole" inside (A pole my mom carved and put other things on, decorated with lights). Also, my parents rescued a dog - it was just getting thinner and thinner at this guy who my dad works with house. They wouldn't take it to the vet, even though they were buying other things.  So i get to meet that dog. Also, when i was there for Xmas last year, it snowed a few inches, and so i took my parents dog for a walk down the road, and we found deer tracks in the snow and it was fun to watch the dog get all "trackie/hunty" in the forest.  So i really hope it snows again! It's very beautiful there, it will be nice to smell the air, look at the stars, and savor the silence....  For a few days to have the illusion of "peace on earth"

So, ummm......good seats for mass? That's a lofty goal for the holiday! I'm just teasing you - but really, what's a "good seat" - one you can see everything from, or one where nobody can see you doze off?  My day will start at my house exchanging with hubby around 7am. Then over to his parent's by 8 for more gifts, a huge homemade breakfast & mimosas (sp? Never mind, I'll be buzzed by 10am & won't care how to spell at that point! ) Jet over to my parent's around 11, eat again, hang until 3 or 4 (no exchanging there this year, we already did that on Thanksgiving when my bro was in town. It was a total relief to get some of it over with!) Then over to his Grandparent's house around 5 for more gifts, more food & more drinks. Usually home by 9 or 10pm.BTW, every year we insist we'll try to rush less, squeeze in a nap, blah blah blah. Never happens! It's exhausting, but I really don't mind at all. Family is what Xmas is all about for me.

Well, I'm working the 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st, 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th......
 Plus I get the added bonus of getting the 25th December and the 2nd January off to come home to an empty house... What joy...  I don't really celebrate xmas anyway, not anymore... Since I've worked in retail all I do is work through xmas... Ahh well... I'll settle down with a guitar, some music and a Jack Daniels I expect..

 (I like Jack Daniels and guitars) I can't believe you have to work so much. Well, i can't believe anyone ever has to work, but... Most of all, me.

 It's a real bitch watching everybody else have fun and be off work and I'm stuck in the store pissed at life..  Yes you are welcome to come here but it's 5203 miles from Oakland so I doubt you'll get here in time for xmas if you come by car/boat I'll toast a JD to you though..

I feel your pain. I used to work in retail about 16 years ago. I really don't know how I did it. I was thinking of getting an extra part time job for the holidays but I just could not bring myself to work in a store or mall ever. The only thing that might be worse it working at the post office (see my post on the "How's your Shopping Going"? thread about the nasty lady.) Just put on some Mac and enjoy the quiet on your days off.
