Happy Holidays, Dakka!!! 'Tis the season to be jolly, because who isn't jolly when you have more time to spend on hobby and gaming, AND Santa might bring you a Necron Obelisk or that Cyngar Stormwall?

Sooooo.....

How much time do you have squirreled away doing hobby and gaming stuff this Holiday break?

I'm off until the 5th of January, and my girlfriend lives a few provinces away, so I'm just going to plié through as much as possible!!

End of the year push at work and multiple family events... just went through the next 2 weeks in my head, lookin' like the 0-5 category for me.

Though, my annual pilgrimage to the hobby shop is coming up in January. It's always nice to drop a bunch of money at one time and have it last the year.

We'll just call these next two weeks a "time waster".

Edit : Wooooo 100th post.

Probably none. Busy time of year and I'm behind in work, so none really. I have a stack of 15mm Shermans and Panzer IV's on my table that I'd like to get done, but I don't see it happening any time in the next month or so.

I haven't been sleeping and I'm on holidays, so lots od time.

For the holiday I get to have surgery!

So I might actually have a lot of time for hobby stuff, gotta do something to keep busy while I recover.

I'm sure that I read somewhere that hobby stuff accelerates recovery time.

Good luck with the surgery, and may your recovery be speedy!

Absolutely zero.

First child is due this week.

If I get 5 - 10 hours in 2015, I think I'll be doing alright.

Happy Holidays!

Probably around 20-ish hours. Besides family lunch on the 25th, not much going on and I'm not working on the 26th.

Happy Holidays!

I'm planning on getting my new addition of nids from shield of ball built and finish painting my spawn of cryptus. And see if I get anything from Santa

As much as I can get away with - I don't plan it, I take it as I get it.

This season it's sitting down and reading my new infinity 3rd ed books. No painting or modelling to do (until January, when I get another bracket of holidays).

Probably none.. Since skiseason starts tomorrow.
Getting my season pass today.
So very little hobby time until mid april most likely..

Ooooo. I just found out someone is getting me a Sisters of Twilight on Forest Dragon

I may have to increase my painting hours LOL.

Thanks! Hey, I figure it can't hurt, right? Unless I glue my fingers to a model or stab myself with an exacto knife again, I mean.

Won't get a lot of stuff but I'm gonna get some flames of wars stuff done before Christmas and some infinity stuff afterwards

Less than 5 for me. I'm temporarily living in a foreign country (UK) until January 2nd (for work, and some, very few and far between pleasures such as fanboying over at GW HQ ). I packed and brought just about every hobby item I own minus the physical workbench itself. All for naught unfortunately as there's just way too much to do work wise here, and by the time its all done, I'm still fighting my internal biological clock -- passing out at 9 PM, waking up a 3 AM, wrestling with myself to go back to bed until 7 AM when I have to hit the road again.

I'm exhausted and mentally drained, so my Imperial Fists are being ignored. Dorn is most definitely not smiling upon me.

The UK is fantastic though! Tit for tat.

Hard to say, but I'd wager somewhere between the 0 and 10 hour marks. Have an extra two days off from work, this week, but have more pressing non-miniature projects, a family visit, etc. to spend my time and energy on. May be able to drum up the drive to put in a bit of work on one of my various WIPs, though.

A decent bit of gaming will likely happen, too, but of the "you can pry me from this couch when I'm dead. I'm moving nothing but my thumbs for the next two hours" variety. Having spent the last two months scrambling to prepare others for the holidays and working later into the night for the next few days, I'm more than ready to kick back and coast through the actual holidays, themselves.
