What's everyone doing this Christmas?

It might be a little early for some of you to have plans but it would be nice to hear what everyone is doing this Christmas.
We will be going to the mother-in-laws, my wife has a large family and everyone cooks something and brings it along. This year I think I am on Lamb or Bacon/Gammon duty, there is always lots of food and drink and my wife's 3 sisters are all pretty crazy so we never have a dull moment!!

 

Hanging with the family and eating!
oh yeah, maybe some presents. But mostly eating!

 

awkward family "so when you going to find a girl and settle down" moments, good food, lots of sleeping in more awkward family stuff with more good food, and probably some alcohol

 

Gonna make some handles probably, since we don't celebrate Christmas here at all.

 

I'm preparing sushi and Chinese food for a Satanic ritual sacrifice party.

 

Are there any

Yet again?! I though you did that only last week…

 

Last time it was samosas, and the sacrifice was to Baal if I recall. Don't ask me, I'm just the cook.

 

Socialize, eat a lot, drink a lot, lose a lot playing poker.

 

Have managed to get some holiday leave this year, so will be spending the day with family. Have also been volunteered to do the cooking, so the Webers will be fired up :cool1

 

for some reason the family get together is at my house, so will be visiting with family. gifts for grandsons. It is bring a dish, so no telling what we'll be eating.

 

I'm gonna copy and use this!

 

I'll be sleeping. I get the day off.

 

Criticism like that is why Santa works with the Krampus.

 

Family, presents, food. Maybe a nap.

 

Staying out of the heat,drinking,eating and sleeping and convincing myself to go to the gym-at some point,though probably not until 2015

 

Certainly must have a nap. It's a tradition at our house, lunch then everyone goes off for a nap until dinner.

 

We get to do most of it twice around here SWMBO and family Christmas day then being a divorced dad my kids arrive boxing day for round two of the event. Plus copious amounts of cooking and baking to be done!

 

I'm with Anton. Family and closest friends are between 5,000 and 10,000 miles away, most local friends are traveling or with their families, so I will probably sleep & woodwork. I took the 26th off, so this might be my chance to make some progress in the wood shop. It's freezing cold right now (well, below 70, windy & raining), but I hope it clears up and I will get a couple of beach moments in there as well. No big plans on food. Want to try replicating the best potato salad on earth (my Mom's, of course), and cook something nice for myself, unless I find someone who is around and up for a dinner. Trying to avoid depression, but that is usually more an issue around New Years...

My girls both ended with a fever last night so I am helping with sick children. Santa should help their mood though.
