What Are You Planning For Christmas Day?

Christmas is coming soon. What are you planning for that day? For me, family gathering, karaoke, carols

I'm not sure. I'm going to be in Florida for a week at Walt Disney World.. we may be at one of the parks that day. 83;

Hopefully resting because my family celebrated it the day before/early morning. I'm actually going to be making the dinner for my whole family like 20+ people so wish me luck....

Christmas for me was always more delighted when I was a child. I feel a little out-of-touch with my family, as sad as they may sound. As well, I used to celebrate my Christmasses with both my family and my-then boyfriend, so it's going to be sad that since we pretty much don't speak I won't share in the Christmas spirit with his family.

As well, my grandma passed away in April, so it'll be sad to not have her there for the first time in my life. But all is well, and I'm not requesting condolences from anyone, merely putting it out that this Christmas will be different for me.

But, my current boyfriend has never really celebrated Christmas (as it's more of a religious thing in Russia), so I'm looking forward to giving him his first Christmas! I even bought him a DS (he's so excited it's driving him nuts trying to figure out what he got!)

All of the turkey dinners, deserts, I'm really excited!!!

And maybe a little help with some gifts, I do need some new clothes. :)

So, those are my plans! :)

Probably ingoring everyone all day then sitting on msn until 3am like last year.....

Oh, that doesn't sound fun at all, Kyonko. You should be planning something for Christmas at least ;)
As for me, we will have a family barbecue ( wahoo! I absolutely loveeee barbecue), carols Christmas singing..

I'll wake up early, go through the ritual of putting baby Jesus under the tree, open presents with my parents and sisters, then go to church, come back home, and will most likely spend the day on my lappy making an amv, or surfing the net.

If I get any anime series for a present, I'll try to convince my parents to let me watch it on their 50" plasma tv...if not, I may watch CCS on it, which my mom actually doesn't mind watching with me. As long as it isn't a shocking episode...like with shounen-ai moments, or seeing a bishounen beating the cr** out of you on Tokyo Tower...

I may also webcam with some of my friends online, if anyone isn't busy. Then my family and I will get fat off of Christmas turkey, and my mother's homemade kolachi.

Christmas this year shall very much be like last year. Presents in the morning, a great big lunch at 12 or 1, a long walk along the Thames and back to HQ for pudding and to watch the telly-box.

My aunt will swing by, just like last year, so we’ll wheel out the coffee and cakes for her. Unfortunately I can’t see my two favourite cousins and my uncle and aunt, ‘cause they live in the Czech Republic, so we’ll have to send an email with our greetings. My last uncle on my old man’s side, an utter n*b who we shall be disowning due to his thieving and selfishness over the past year and a half, won’t be getting anything from us but we shall send a card and a prezzie to each of my cousins as they’ve shown us no ill.

On Boxing Day (December 26th, AKA ‘leftovers day’, I believe this may only be a holiday in Blighty) we’ll go and see my mum’s half of the family. They live up north, in the part of the country which has yet to crawl its way out of the 16th century and discover such things as electricity and an alternative to a ‘Little Chef’. Saying that, it’s all still good fun up there.

Great days.

Wow.. it's great to hear everybody have something plan for their Christmas. And Kyonko-chan, Mistyco-chan is right! Ya should celebrating Christmas or planning something. Sitting on msn is definately a no fun

Christmas is not as exciting as it was when I was a little kid XD so I'll wake up around 8 or 9 and get phone calls from family all day, maybe go see a few family members that live really close by later in the evening to see what the kids got and of course help my mom make turkey dinner which will probably take most of the day while my dad watches TV and my younger brother does whatever with whatever he got @.@

I'll hopefully be at my mom's house on Christmas. If I am there I will probably play with my brothers and sisters with all their new toys. Lol.

We've got "Boxing Day" in Canada, too. But I've never heard anyone call it 'leftovers day'.

Maybe 'leftovers day' is just a thing we call it. It's known for that 'cause families usually heat up and finish off the food they couldn't eat the day before. It's quite a widely used term down our way.

I'm doing nothing except counting the days till Christmas is finally over. All the negative energy in retail zapped the Christmas spirit out of me.
