Working with my wife!

Go to work, then panick that all the shops are closed and all I brought to eat is dry crackers...

Xanax and wish it was 2020 again

Working

I plan to go to work like it's any other day, including not getting any holiday pay. I will try not to roll my eyes as customers tell me it sucks I have to work, even while they themselves are the reason I have to work.

I'll be alone. I lost my mother in August, so i'm an orphan now (my dad died 5 years ago)

I'm not sad or in need of pitty though. I just need my alone time to think things over. Christmas is as good a time as any :)

I will cook some Cornish game hens, asparagus with garlic, mashed potatoes with garlic, maybe bread rolls. Dessert will be eggnog and chocolate peppermint cookies.

More 12+ hour shifts to appease the blood gods my bosses worship known to us mortals as "the shareholders"

I’ve taken my partner and kids interstate to see family we haven’t seen in 2 1/2 years, whilst bushfires are burning not far from our home.

We’re due to fly back on Boxing Day, and not sure what we’re going back to yet.

I’m putting on a brave face for our kiddos, especially our 4 year old who is really into Christmas this year, but we’re terrified what things look like in a couple days.

My wife and I pick a country each year and plan our Christmas Eve dinner to make of food from that country. This year we picked The Gambia so it is going to be domoda (peanut stew) and thiakry (millet couscous pudding).

Psychedelic mushrooms. They're legal here (Oakland, CA).

It's my first ever Christmas alone. Still making an 8 lb ham and a nice spread of food for dinner. Will be making sandwiches and bean soup with the leftover ham. Otherwise just wallowing in self pity and doom swiping on dating sites in hopes that I won't be alone next year.

Here in Germany, we celebrate mostly on Christmas Eve. I have a couple of hours left to get ready before my stepdad picks me up. We'll visit my grandma who sadly has to spend the holidays in hospital because she fell and hurt her knee. After that, Christmas dinner at my mom's and stepdad's house with most of the family, gifts and a relaxed evening. I'll stay over night, have breakfast and then go home to finish packing everything I need for my winter vacation which starts on the 26th.

It's been an exhausting year and I can really use the downtime.

Today we're not doing anything, and it will be glorious. Tomorrow we're exchanging gifts (my wife, the dog*, and I) cooking up a ham with beans and asparagus, and watching Christmas movies.

*she didn't get us anything, but we still love her

A quiet evening with my wife. We're making a Sichuan-style hot pot.

We're gonna be eating lots and lots of delicious food!

I just did a little work, my wife is setting the table for dinner and then we will drink and watch movies together.

I’ve been looking forward to it all week.

For me personally, I'm gonna stay up for Christmas Eve and watch NORAD Tracks Santa.

Always is a great pass time to watch Santa's journey across the world, and is also a great tool to know his location and to know when he will arrive in your location/area. It's one of the best things of the Christmas season for sure!

Play XIV Online and Geat Circle with the wife.

Game pass promo expires in 3 months

Already did the family thing on Sunday and survived.

My partner and I will be celebrating with friends, they are also not Christmas and especially family Christmas fans. We are just going playing jack box, baldur's gate and probably some board games. So I'm a bit excited for first Christmas day, but we will not do anything traditional Christmasy.

It's for me one of the most stressful time's of the year.

Going to a nursing home to visit my grandmother today, then preparing some of the dinner for tomorrow. Tomorrow doing the whole Santa gifts routine, preparing the dinner and moving furniture around to prepare for guests. Have dinner, have some fun with the guests, then relax the rest of the day and watch TV.

Today i helped the hostel owner make a Christmas tree. It was fun. He did most of the work but I sat back and supervised, regaling him of tales of all the times I've been really drunk in Christmas eve.

Were going out to a bar later to try and emulate the experience.

Rest, relax, family and beer 🍻 🍻

Currently we are decorating the tree then when everyone is here we will eat Hochzeitssuppe and Zungenragout (literal translation would be wedding soup and tongue ragout) which are traditional christmas dishes in our family. Then we open the presents (in Germany you open them usually on Christmas Eve). Tomorrow we will eat roast goose with braised red cabbage and potato dumplings.

So overall just hanging out with family and eating.

Traditional family Christmas: Tonight we have my mother in law and her husband over for Christmas dinner and a ton of gifts for the kids. Tomorrow on Christmas day we will have the traditional "food hangover" and total relaxation day while the kids play with their presents. Yesterday we went for dinner and presents at my father in law's house and the day before that we had my parents over for presents and sweets. On boxing day we go to a combined family lunch and my mother in law's birthday which usually involves sizable amounts of smoked fish.

~~selling stolen fissile materials~~ hey wait a second...

I almost fell for it, you won't catch me this easy MI5.

I'll be visiting family to give them presents and nothing else!

Oh and watching that Wallace and Gromit film that's gonna be on BBC One

just try to help my family. give them love and joy.

I had to drive to rural mexico, 'we' are making pazole and tamales.

Going to see the parents for Christmas dinner and Wallace and gromit, followed by going home, smoking a fat joint, and watching the greatest chris- uh, Life Day movie of all time, the Star Wars Holiday Special.
