I have an awfully generic Christmas, involving little to no religious activity. Go bland! I have about three or four parties to go to and a couple of relatives to visit before the big day.

I don't think we'll be doing anything special for Christmas.

Though there will probably be a lot of "road blocks" as usual, and a lot of anger. xD

My dance teacher/friend and my bestest friend who I've known since I was two get here the 22nd, and my grandparents get here the 23rd.

We'll do some general touristy things leading up to Christmas. Christmas day we'll open pressies here, then go to my stepdad's mum's and open more presents and have Christmas dinner. (Should be interesting to see how she deals with having two vegetarians in the house...

)

Nothing horribly exciting though, really.

Haha its brilliant, its terrible weather here at the moment and it was hailing earlier this morning. She gets here tomorrow afternoon so hopefully it'll still be all nice and dreary.

It'll get better sometime though.

If you didn't know, we're siblings

As well as rachel, we've got some family freinds staying here the last 4 days after christmas so we're going down to this *swim with the dolphins* place on the 28th. Thats all I really think we're doing here.

Except for you know, classic christmas activities such as beaching, sandcastle building and suntanning.

Just spending the time with my family really. Bit boring but you know, tradition.

On Christmas Eve I'm hoping to drive around looking at the Christmas lights people have up, and maybe go to a church service. But that all depends on the weather, of course. And my general laziness.

On Christmas day, I'll be going to my mother's for the day. Joy.

Hm.
Seeing as I have aubsolutely no reason to celebrate, and everyone I know has better things to do than sit around with lonely Jen, I'll be doing what I am now, sitting at the computer eating crackers and cheese while everyone else is off with their families or something.

I leave for home (I pray) at 7:45 am on Christmas eve. If I can't get a bus, i'm doomed to spend Christmas alone (the thought makes my gut turn).
If all goes well however, i'll be heading home in a happy manner to see my family. Christmas eve family dinner is at my parents house this year, should be lovely and busy and Christmasy. Then Christmas day, another big dinner this time at my aunts, and then boxing day, another family dinner, presumably back at our house.
After that I have two days with friends, and then i'm heading back to Lethbridge so I can work the following day.
It's going to be a short holiday for me.

My sister's probably not coming home this year, so it'll just be my parents and me. We'll probably go to church on Christmas Eve and then just hang around on Christmas Day. There may be a trip to see my aunts at some point. The day after, a friend's invited me over for Hanukkah, which should be cool.

Happy Holidays, everyone.

My friends will be coming to my house and cooks for everybody. We will be exchanging presents, opening them and talk rubbish. Oh, I am looking forward to it.

We have a crazy schedule and we've done most of it for the past 20 yrs, so we're used to it. All my family lives in the Hamilton ON area, and we are about 6 hrs from there. We usually go down there on Dec.24, do Christmas at my aunt's place, then on the 25th, do Christmas at my dad's parents place, then on the 26th, boxing day/mom's parents anniversary at my aunt's place again. Sounds complicated, but it really isn't.

What's great is we do Christmast at home before leaving. We celebrate on Dec.22! Things have gotten a little more complicated since my brother got engaged though. We now have Christmas at his fiance's place too!

This year, brother threw a fit and we will be doing our Christmas, and Christmas at his fiance's place in the same day (Dec.22). Should be fun! Only one meal though, thank goodness. Its gonna be a very busy 4 days. We don't do anything for New Years though.

My boyfriend and I are flying to Perth (Western Australia) to spend Christmas with my family. It's apparently going to be one of the hottest summers ever (over 40C), so we'll be spending lots of time at the beach, or in the pool. I love hot Christmases. Christmas didn't feel right when I lived in London.

We don't really celebrate Christmas. We don't really celebrate anything. I'll probably spend Christmas tidying my room and organising my school notes. How sad.
