[GREEN =w= DAY]

I got to see my family together on Christmas for the first time in 13 years.

definately the best gift there could be. something about gathering with the family, eating great food, and having drinks that make this holiday special.

 

[AndThePickles]

It ended up being a lovely Christmas...I felt very blessed to be with my family, and got WAY more presents than one person needs. The only glitch is I turned out to be highly allergic to this soy pine-scented candle that my dad burned, and I've been sneezing my head off and all puff-faced ALL day...long after he blew the candle out and even when we were over at my grandmother's house!

Had a wonderful CHRISTMAS. For the first time in 12 years we didn't go nowhere, stayed in our house, just the 4 of us (mum, dad, me and my brother) and really had a great time. Boxing day tomorrow, will be as much fan as today!

How I love Christmas

Merry Christmas all!

Had an ok Christmas. Got great presents, had a good time with my fiance and daughter, but my cousin and his wife got in a giant fight over their son at my parents Christmas gathering, and things kind of went downhill from there. Still had a nice time, but that made it a giant downer, and the spirit never really came back.

 

[danoyse]

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Had Christmas Eve dinner at my cousin's house, then spent this morning at my folks' house, and then spent the rest of today at my brother-in-law's house. Needless to say, I'm never eating again.

Definitely got some great gifts this year:

Seasons 1-3 of Mad Men
Seasons 3-5 of Family Ties
The Promise: Darkness on the Edge of Town box set
Yankees/Red Sox tickets
Season 6 of Lost
Scrapbooking stuff
AMC/iTunes/Amazon gift cards

Of course, I had the most fun watching my 7 nephews/cousins/in-law's kids opening their presents. Those kids are insane.

And now...we're getting a blizzard tomorrow!

Some of that is shared with my roommate, Specter313, but still, it was a very very nice Christmas.

I'm having my very first eggnog tonight. Also, my very first eggnog mixed with brandy.

I discovered the joys of Sugar Cookie Egg Nog. It's like drinking liquid Banana Pudding. Yummy.

[Firm18]

Got a Macbook Pro/Avatar BluRay Collectors Edition/Inception BluRay and a few smaller gifts. Had a fabulous Christmas, so much food, I literally woke up full today and it's boxing day so we are having another huge dinner and then tomorrow all the left overs! I love christmas.

I have a question, when do you get out of the christmas spirit, last year I kinda lost it after Boxing day but this year I'm planning on celebrating Christmas till the New Years eve.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm out of the christmas spirit the next day, but then again I never really have it

 

[redmarvel]

Had a pretty good Christmas. A lovely dinner cooked by my mother-in-law, my son loved his gift from Santa and I FINALLY got DDR this year (after putting it on my wish list every year since it came out).

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Had a really good Christmas got a ton of presents, but more importantly everything I got everyone else seemed to go over great. Took a few risks on presents, but everyone loved what I got. Was all over though, haven't really had a moments break since Thursday night. Got some bad news about a family friend that prevented the holiday from being great, but otherwise that's pretty much been the whole year, universe has been casting a shadow over all the great times I've had this year, making them just good.

 

[redmarvel]

So with 3 more days left until Christmas is over, how many people still have their trees up?

(The last day of Christmas is January 6th [yes, folks, there is a reason for the song the 12 days of Christmas])

[Prison Mike]

I took my tree down yesterday. It was sad. The holidays are over.

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I was sad it was over the day after Christmas but still had some spirit till New Years. Hated to see it go, just like I hate to see Halloween go, but they will be back. Drove by the park that hosts the Christmas lights every year here on Jan 1 which was the last night for them. Drove by the park last night and was sad to see them turned off. Got some nice stuff though for Christmas, and hope that the next one is even better.
