What are you doing for Christmas and New Years?
We are having all my family (mum's AND dad's side) over for the 3 days from Christmas Eve till St Stephens Day. There will be about 40 of us all in 1 house during the day (we'll stay in our house and my gaga Max's and nana felly's house.) It will be extra good cause Christmas day will be the Christening of my twin cousins!
For New Years all my mum's and dad's family have booked a hotel and we're having a mega big party (about 150 of us!!)
I can't wait!!
Merry Christmas and All the Best for the New Years

I was only saying what I will be doing because I'm asking what evry1 else is doing. There is no need to be rude about it.

christmas eve- last minute shopping, helping my aunt cook and clean for the next day, go to midnight mass
christmas day- family get together. only about 17 of us this year. a few of our family members are going out of town this year to visit their kids because they can't visit us. it's going to be nice not having 30-ish people crammed into the house.
i'm not sure about new years yet. i usually go out with my best friend to dinner and to a bar but new years isn't really a "girls night out" night. thinking i might stay home with my kids.

Ah, the whole Christmas plans start out like this. Christmas Eve, I will be performing at two places, one at my mom's nursing home she works at, and another at a hospital I think it's for the sick kids, so I can't wait.
My mom is working Christmas eve, which doesn't bug me at all because shes' been doing this for years and if she didn't work Christmas eve, she'd be stuck working Christmas Day. So at least I get her the whole next day
So usually I'll sit around the house maybe call up my friends and wish them a Merry Christmas. Or I'll go and take a nice hot bath and then get in my PJ's, and turn on the TV in my room and watch the Christmas specials on tv, which I absolutely love. I'll sometimes call my mom and tell her Merry Christmas, in case she's running late. When she finally gets home I'll go and hug her and we'll exchange Merry Christmas's.
Then I will leave her be for a couple minutes so she can get out of her uniform, and wash the makeup off her face and just get settled with a pot of coffee and maybe some German or Belgium Christmas cookies, and just plop herself down on the couch. When she's feeling a little non - pooped she and I get to open one, and I mean just one gift on Christmas eve and the rule is we have to choose the gift for that person to open. So on Christmas eve my mom usually gets a blanket, or mug filled with tons of goodies and I will get most likely PJ's, and maybe some lotion or stuff from Bath and Body works.
Once that's over, my mom will tuck me in and I'll say my prayers (even though I'm not overly religious I still pray). And then I'll either read a book, or watch tv if I can't sleep. Usually I'll fall asleep with the tv on.
When I wake up, I usually go to the bathroom go to the kitchen get my Vitamin water, Fuze drinks, or make myself a nice mug of green tea. Then my mom and dad will wakeup and we all wanna get settled and be awake before opening our presents, so my mom will make herself a huge pot of coffee and she'll watch tv, and my dad will be on the computer (unless I'm on it, typing up my story or browsing the internet).
Soon as we're settled we'll open our stockings first most of the time it's filled with like small things and chocolates. And then my dad will open his gifts, and then my mom, and then I open my gifts. After we're done we'll gather the stuff and just mess around with it, and be all happy.
We'll load up into the car and head over to my uncles where we'll open more presents, eat a ton of food, watch Christmas specials and just enjoy time spent as a family and I'll usually play my flute and piccol (this year I hope I can play them my phife). So yup, that's how Christmas is.
As for New Years Eve well this will be the continuation of my birthday since my birthday is the day before. So this year I'll gather my friends and my mom and we'll go out and party or something they migth be able to come to my mom's, friends house so that will be really fun.
I hope yours is as good as mine.
Blondie.

It will just be me and my little boy at home on our own again this year. When he's older and off out with his own friends, then will be the time I can go to parties and have fun like that again.
