What have you got planned for Christmas

minks · Post by **minks** » Wed Dec 23, 2009 10:57 am

Will you travel to see family?

Have family visit you? Cook, eat and drink?

Boycott Christmas?

Or just do not celebrate Christmas?

I shall spend it with my family on Boxing Day we will have 4 generations of Calgarians celebrating Christmas together. This is a very rare thing in this city.

I hope whatever you all to it will bring delightful memories for years to come.

Merry Christmas All.

Merry Christmas Minks!

My sister is coming home for Christmas. I'm picking her up tomorrow and we're travelling to mum's together. It'll be just the 4 of us this year ... nice and quiet.

I'll head back home on Boxing Day, all being well.

Happy Christmas Minks and Pinkchick. This will be the first time in five years I'll have all the family back together. In the same country!! They'll all be here from Christmas Eve to the day after Boxing Day. My son - who works shifts- has managed to get this evening and tomorrow off.

I have a toikey thawing (hopefully) in the fridge...

The sun is shining!!

The tree smells wonderful and is decked with lights and tinsel and candy cane. It looks like there's a lot of wrapped goodies underneath. Two long strings of cards hang along the ceiling.

I love Christmas.

As we say in Nooooo Joisey.....I'm driving 'up north' to my brother's home, and all of my family are meeting there. I'll see family that I haven't seen in a long time.

We'll eat, drink and be merry.....and all will stay over in the near-by area. Of course, we'll sing all night.

Happy holidays everyone:-4

Come back to bed, Santa.... smooooch

:sneaky:

We got an extra little Chrissie pressie last night. The whole clan went to early Mass at the local church and the place was packed. A trillion kids and their families sang lustily and chaotically... and among the throng, being totally normal, were Nicole Kidman and Sunday Rose.

When my son comes home from work, we'll all open presents. Then off to my late mother in law's boyfriends'. Then to my sister's where my nieces and great nephew will be. Then to my stepdaughters. Hectic and busy but I wouldn't have it any other way.
