Heading to my parents' house today. I have to do some last minute shopping on the way down, primarily for their stockings.

I'm making biscotti and Russian tea cakes for Christmas morning. Need to figure out what kind of biscotti though, and buy the ingredients I don't have.

Wrapping my gifts is gonna take at least an hour (I tend to go all out).

Sunday I'm home all day with family.

the man of the house is currently out purchasing christmas breakfast ingredients. We'll do some house cleaning and finish up wrapping this evening. Tomorrow my mom and her husband will drive down, throw their stuff down in a local hotel, then head over to spoil the kids rotten. we're having Eve dinner at The Pit where I will done on delectable fried green tomatoes and moonshine. After we'll give the Eve gifts out, watch NORAD to see whn we can hustle the kids off to bed.

Then we'll probably be woken up at 4AM by three over eager boys jumping on our beds.

Need to finish wrapping presents today. Tomorrow going to caroling at my husband's church (hate church, love to sing), then driving to sister in law's house to help them play santa for the kids. Then Sunday morning, going to sister-in-law's husband's parent's house for their Christmas breakfast. Then coming home.

Vacation all next week too. I don't return to work until the 3rd!

I made biscotti last year for x-mas - a few different types. The Cranberry-almond was the favorite.

My daughter and her bf arrived home last night. With their help, we finally got the tree decorated.

The weekend will consist of lots of eating, bad singing, merriment and prezzies.

I have relatives coming into town. I'm expected to entertain them. At some point in there I'm also expecting some football, and little girls playing with new toys, so it should be a pretty good weekend. Smiley: smile

Today I need to wrap presents and make my traditional hand drawn gift tags.

Tomorrow I go over to Daughter's and get the Rib Roast into the oven, so it will be done about 6pm. Dinner will be semi Hanukkah dinner also, for my future son-in-law. Jonwin gets off work at 4pm and tells me that if dinner isn't on the table by then, he'll walk out and go to McDonald's. We'll be exchanging presents Christmas Eve and playing Dreidel for gelt. Other two grand kids should have received their presents, we ordered last week.

Sunday Jonwin has off and we will go over to his brother's in the afternoon.

I wish everyone on my Christmas list had Barbies, As I can knit them hats and scarves in less then an hour. I need to buy a Monster High doll to use as a dress form for other 2 grand daughter's collection. Making doll clothes is a family tradition. I have some outfits, that my grandma made for my mother's Shirley Temple doll.

Christmas wrapping
Regular chores: cleaning up the house and yard; laundry
Christmas morning: Mass with my parents, Christmas presents at home and then Christmas family gathering at one of my cousins' place (hopefully there will be less than 60 people this year).

That does sound tasty. I made a really basic Almond one last year. Was fine, but I'd like something with more flavor to it.

Tonight, catching up with friends we've not seen for months down the pub. T'other half will probably get squiffy and need carrying to bed. Aww. (Did I mention I quit drinking back in February?)

Tomorrow will involve a blast down leafy lanes on The Warg (for so is named the ugly Honda 500 I treated meself to this week) and a final bit of prep for Chrimble din-dins.

Sunday is cooking for extended family, followed by mind-numbing crap on TV.

at work now. after work not sure what is up. My love wants me to go caroling but I've been feeling under the weather so I may just go home and chill out. Tomorrow, not sure what the plan is. Christmas day we are heading to her parents' house to help make our dinner. Should be fairly chill - we aren't doing presents. It's such a relief not to participate in that aspect of Christmas.

I'm getting kidnapped by my parents today sometime; we'll probably do some last minute shopping while they're in town.

I'll be spending 4 days at my parents' place, hopefully not bored out of my mind for most of it. Beer & novels will probably help Smiley: thumbsup

Actually, I forgot, we're going to be shooting clay pigeons on Monday for a friend's birthday.

Never fired a gun before. Should be interesting.

Theoretically making christmas cookies, though since i'm still technically sick, that may not occur. Other than that, as little as possible.

My gift for everyone else is attending their church services with them..

just remember to hold it as tight as possible against your shoulder; otherwise it will be like being punched very hard (assuming it is a shotgun with any force)

This will be my first Christmas where I won't be with my mom and my brother. It's sort of depressing, and as such, I have not really gotten into the spirit. I sent out all my gifts via Amazon or other company delivery services. My mom gave me my gifts before I left, which was really just a $300 Visa gift card. It was really very nice of her. We used part of it to go across the island to Kona and stay for a night as a Christmas celebration. My husband has to work, so I'll be home by myself on Christmas, most likely playing WoW. He only has to work a few hours, so that's good, I guess.

Aww, Belki. Don't be a sad moppet on Christmas.

Sounds like you and Mr. Belki need to start some new traditions.

Was with the wife's family today. Christmas morning we'll be having the kids open their gifts then off to my mother's for dinner. Was supposed to my father's house tomorrow, but my grandmother passed away yesterday morning so he's gone to bury her, so we'll do Christmas with him next week at some point.
