Commander_N_Chief Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 With the holiday season already just a bit underway and so many great days left to go; what will everyone be doing to celebrate? For me, we've already had our company party, tonight I have my church's Christmas party. I'll spend Saturday with my friends and exchange a few gifts and watch a couple of movies at my house. I'll be on hand at my church again for our Christmas play, delivering cookies and coffee to the cops, firemen, and EMTs on Christmas Eve; as well as doing a bit of volunteer work down at a homeless shelter. Christmas will be spent with my family opening a few gifts and kicking back for the night. Nothing else planned until I head to NYC for the ball dropping.

Burgold Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Friends and family. Family and friends. Followed by Friends and family, too much food, too much laughter (is such a thing possible) too many of the same family stories retold over and over again.

Air Force Cane Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 OOh.. great fun!! My civilian company gives us off from 22 December-3 January. So I get to instead get up at 0630 and head to my AF Reservist job and work 8 hours a day down there.. Friday night the opera "Light in the Piazza" at the Kennedy Center with my ex (still very good friends and she is the hottest woman I ever dated). dinner at the restaurant on the top floor which is gorgeous. saturday maybe the Maryland basketball game with a friend, although I don't want to go. movie party that night. sunday going over to another friend's new place for the Skins game. Monday volunteering at Walter Reed in the morning. date that night where she is cooking and I am bringing the wine. Other than that just defending the country :laugh: better to work and earn money rather than spend right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mass_SkinsFan Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I just got back from our semi-catered holiday luncheon here in the office. Friday night my roommates and I will be celebrating the Winter Solstace with a small ritual and then a very nice dinner out after work. On Saturday we will exchange gifts and spend time with my roommate's family as part of our Yule celebration. On Sunday I will drive down to Connecticut and spend Christmas Eve with my mother and two brothers, including a church service at the church where my mother is the organist and a small party at the Pastor's home. On Monday morning, my brothers and I will go over to the church my family used to attend for Christmas morning services, then stop briefly at my father's grave on the way home. We'll open presents with my mother when she gets home from her service, then head off to my aunt & uncle's home for the larger family gathering before I head back here to Massachusetts to be back at work on Tuesday morning. On the evening of Friday, January 5th we will be getting together with the local medieval group for a 12th Night celebration; a recreation of the medieval festival celebrating the end of Christmas and Epiphany (the visit of the Wise Men). That should be about the grand total of the festivities planned, so far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNut73 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Very much looking forward to the holiday.... Usually we end up traveling but this year it has worked out to where we will be home for Christmas. Even better....a few weeks ago my company announced that they will shutdown for the week between Christmas and New Year. Since it was only a 3 day work week anyway, and because we exceeded the budget for the year, we're taking the rest of the week off. We'll have a few guys from the firehouse over with their families on Christmas day...everyone will be gone by 5pm. I'll settle in to my recliner and watch football for the rest of the night. Then for the week off...probably do day trips with the kids...go to the movies, or maybe NYC for a day. No plans...just winging it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
