((Hey Gang,

Okay, continuing with the idea of holiday traditions, what sorts of things do you all do/look forward too with the end of year holidays? It doesn't matter of it's any of the traditional holidays or something else, just what sorts of things do you do and look forward too with the year ending.

I like hanging stockings. I just find the idea of a big, decorated, sock, hanging off the wall, stuffed with little gifts or candies, or whatever fun. I've got like a zillion of them. Some I've bought, some I cross-stitched. My favorite is Father Christmas giving the audience a great, big, raspberry. It's hilarious.

That and the "12 pains of Christmas", number four... sending Christmas Cards. I don't even know half these people.

So... what about the rest of you?))

My family is pretty average when it comes to the Christmas holiday.

We put up lights, decorate a Christmas tree in the living room, and exchange gifts.

Another one of my family's traditions is to go visit my relatives at their Ranch in Oklahoma.

Me and 2 of my cousins have our own little Christmas tradtion. We get up at 5am and go horse back riding while its still dark out side , I rather enjoy the cold fresh air and smell of dust & dryed grass( I'm city boy, but that doesn't mean I'm not a cowboy as well)

Its always having family over for a great big gathering. That is my favorite tradition.

This year I will be heading to Disney world on the 26th to celebrate new years.

wouldn't be Christmas if i didn't get in a punch up, luckily my brother is back for Christmas this year so will be no shortage of opportunities. lol but sibling rivalry aside we are pretty average, big feast, presents, social awkwardness and of course sudden revelations which really could have been established at any time of the year but just had to happen at christmas

Hehe.. I love that song.

Christmas is gonna suck for me this year, I'm stuck home in a state where I don't know anyone else, with no time off work to travel. So I'll just be packing and might take a few hours to brave the crowds at Disneyworld Wink

That's rough. But I'm sure you'll make the best of it.

Normally, all of my extended family gets together.....from both sides of the family. And then we do the standard stuff, gifts and a huge dinner, the usual.
This year, I may end up spending christmas by myself, over in China. YAY!! for going to China!! Cultural experiences hopefully!!! but, it'll be weird not having like 40 family members around.

Ya know "Bah Humbug" was the victorian equivalent to the term "Bullshit"!

Mwahahaha!

Indeed I am, Chaos, though the "Bah" was more of a simple exclamation. The "Humbug" was the actuall swear. Cool

Hmm I have to admit that Christmas is not what I used to mean to me when I was younger (we got our first Christmas sweets at the beginning of November this year in our store Shocked guess they'll start delivering chocolate easter bunnies after New Years Eve??)
And the weather here looks more like in the middle of autumn (we have a lot of rain and its 10° C outside, that's 50° F ), I really miss snow in December Crying or Very sad . I just started to decorate our house and garden a bit with lights.

((...wow, a lot of grumpy people for the end of the year celebrations.

yeah, I know the whole thing is either 1) overcomercialized, or 2) over religified, but... still... it's kinda nice to have a holiday at the end of the year. I mean... really... what else would you do?

I know it's lame and retardedly romantic, but hey, I'm goth. We're all about cynical romanticism. Except for those posers... grrrr... -_-... I hate goth posers... but back on track, I kinda like the idea of a winter celebration. Traditionally and story-wise, winter is one of the dangerous seasons. Even love and romance tends to have its worst trials during winter. But... end of the year celebrations remind us we're human. That it is alright to have fun and go a bit overboard, even during the stark, bleakness of winter.

So... to all you bah humbugers out there, I say, Get a Stocking! Stuff that Stocking! and have a good time. I haven't met anyone who doesn't get a little kids smile, when they see a stuffed stocking.))

I love Christmas as much as the next guy, but as a certified Pharmacy Technician, all I hear around this time of year is, "What, you ain't got my Synthroid?? What are you, some kind of <explitive deleted>!!"

It can kill the mood, ya know...

While I'm not generally fond of the "holiday season" I actually practice my bah humbug for an entirely different reason. My local community center usually puts on a production of "A Christmas Carol" every year. Since it's one of my favorite stories I audition every year. Haven't gotten to be Scrooge yet, but I was the understudy for Christmas Past two years ago. Very Happy

((Xeb that's freaking sweeet! Do you go for the whole squint-faced look when you say it?

While "A Christmas Carol" is the classic European-holiday story, my favorite is a tie between "It's a Wonderful Life", and "A Christmas Story"... both shows really are powerful. "A Wonderful Life" is serious-powerful, while "Christmas Story" is old-time-fun-reminiscing powerful.

I love, love, LOVE, watching those two shows. The acting, the music, the directing, the scenery, all if it just... clicks. Those two moves are how you make movies.))

I'm not actually grumpy about my own situation. I stopped "humbug"ing Christmas a few years ago. I'm just disappointed I couldn't coerce anyone to come out, and mad about the way work did Christmas vacation this year. But I've got a ton of work to do, and the spirit of the season I can celebrate later when I do see my friends.

I travel a lot, so I'm used to timeshifting, hehe. Wink

Well, most of the relatives I have had pass away have done so on or around the holidays. Christmas and New Year's Day have been tainted by the passing of loved ones, and so I no longer have the joy or optimism I have had in the past at such occasions.

I call all my closest friends and wish them and their families a Merry Christmas. Otherwise, always been big for a family Christmas. Always watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" with my family. ^_^

Maybe one of these years I'll do a holiday picture for PBB. ^^;

well, christmas is usualy just another day for me to sleep in, so no real customs there (other than cooking shrimp alfredo). on new years, i open up a botte of Brechetto. Have done it on new years since my first duty station and will continue to do so.

The only other time honored custom is the american tradition of praying to the porcline god when ive had too much to drink.
