Automatically Appended Next Post: As for me,my only real Christmas wish is that my children let me sleep later than 5:30 AM on Christmas morning...but I'm sure that won't happen.
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.
Nice Idea!,My friend if you weren't an ocean away I'd give you a big hug and buy you a pint.
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.

We just picked up another, as well.
I refuse to acknowledge Christmas until it's at least December.

Day after thanksgiving-go get the tree and start the outside lights. Youn know that neighbor that looks like they just barfed up lights over the house and lawn? Thats me.
Trees are much more orderly. We have the main tree then a tree in each bedroom.

In Japan it's practically impossible to get a live Christmas tree.
You so see a few houses with lighting displays. They usually put them up before Christmas and keep them until after New Year. Christmas isn't a holiday in Japan anyway.
But the Emperor's Birthday, December 23rd, is. He's like the son of god, right? What kurisumasu keki are you having this year? Mickey Mouse Strawberry or Pikachu Chocolate?

I prefer artificial because you save the trees and you can pack it in some box.

Christmas.. just another day of the year to me. I shall play some world of warcraft, paint some minis and possibly go on the ale with my dad if he fancies it (he usually does)
We are arming Syrian rebels who support ISIS, who is fighting Iran, who is fighting Iraq who we also support against ISIS, while fighting Kurds who we support while they are fighting Syrian rebels.

Yep. We have three of them for the bedrooms.

I see what you did there, with the new avatar... A little too OTT perhaps, but like I always say: Dig what you dig...
Back on topic: I am going to host the family Christmas Dinner at our new place (W00T!!!) and I am super stoked to set up our Yule tree in our very own house!!! W00Tx2!!!
(There Tim goes with his religious ambiguity again. Just FYI, Tim doesn't want to debate Religion vs. Atheism vs. Xmas... Again. Or attacks on Tim's beliefs based on definitions of words in a dictionary. Tim got very upset last time. Tim doesn't feel like one needs a "reason" to demonstrate goodwill to others during this time of year... PM Tim if you want, but don't start throwing around "labels." Tim is going to stop ranting in the third person and get back to work now...)

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've not had a fair oppurtunity to book time off over Christmas (It was all booked up pretty much at the begining of the year, before even starting with the company). Can't say I'm all that chuffed really, sooner it's over the better.
If I can worm my way out of working the early shift on boxing day, then it'll be a case of trying to find the curry house that was open a few christmasses ago and get a curry and some drinks on the go with any mate who's free
