Well the Coca Cola Xmas advert has shown in the UK so it must officially be that time of year already then...so what are people's plans and hopes then.
Me, I'm looking forward to 2 weeks off work, catching up with some friends and having a legitimate excuse to eat and drink too much. Me and my housemates generally get each other something-- a DVD or something along those lines-- and more and more of the friends have bairns which I tend to get things for ( which has actually raised my esteem for parents in general no end...seriously... how the hell do people keep up with what their kids want these days..I dunno...and yet if I just give them ciggies and beer this is, apparently, "wrong" ..bah, there's no justice ) and then the traditional moaning about what's on the TV this year.
Then for New Year...hmm..either some friends house or maybe a decent pub for the night.

I just started a new life on this island, so whatever I do is gonna be special. First of all, NOT celebrate christmas but the prices...maybe buy a MTB.

The only positive I can think of is that I get three weeks off of Uni. so I get to actually go down to my GW to play some games! Still got to read about 40 books, do two essays, revise for exams and work.
I've not seen the advert yet but I don't actually watch TV. I'd rather hide my head until this 'holiday' was over. But I like the winter and the cold so it's a time of paradox for me

It's going to be the first Christmas without my grandmother around. We're having my grandfather over here from NZ though.
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I have no idea I got the "Its a suprise"! talk, everyone except me knows what i'm doing. All i know is i'm being picked up in a posh car on Xmas eve from work (i finish at 10pm) and i'm being taken sumwhere. I saw My boyfriend take my passport yesterday though so FINGERS CROSSED it's somewhere on a plane!!

If it reassures you, I don't think it'll fit.

I've got a fair bit of time off whereas wifey has virtually none. Over that period, I hope to round up Skwisgar the Swede, the only other hakujin around, for some beers, watch a few films while painting. I'm going to try and do all the models from the Black Reach box over that time. Plus, I'm going to work on my entries for a Gundam and military model show that is happening in Tokyo in March-ish. No travel as were sitting on our dough to purchase Castle von Khornjolio next spring. I'll probably spend Christmas day much like last year drinking White Russians by the pint and then slipping off into a bizarre lucid dream state.

I will most likely just lounge around the house reading and watching old movies. Luckily for once we don't have an over abundance of visiting family(don't get me wrong I love them but they do get a bit annoying after a month). I was hoping that during the holidays the weather would pick up a bit and that I could put the pool to good use, but it has been strangely cold and rainy the past 2 weeks.

I've grown bitter and disillusioned with christmas at this point. All the commercialism and my spoiled siblings bitching about their presents makes me sick. But instead of being Grinchy, I'm celebrating Chanukah (Hanukkah). Can anyone give me a good latke recipe? This is my first year celebrating it.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
It's not Ch*****as yet, it's not even December. Ch*****as should be banned until December the 4th so it can go as quick as it can with some minor festivities. IT DOES NOT START IN NOVEMBER!!!

A trick Mumsie Grotsnik used to use, before my Brother or I could tell the time...
Simply take your training clock (plastic one) and set the hands to 'getting up time'. Inform kiddies that when the proper clock matches the plastic one, it's time to get up and have presents. Set it to say, 6:30 a.m.
Then, when the little sods are fast asleep, sneak in, and set the real clock 3 hours or so backwards, meaning you get an additional 3 hours kip, and the kids honestly think they got an early start.
