Where Are You Going For Christmas?

Where are you going this Christmas, or are you staying home?

I'm going to Williamsburg to visit grandparents. Boy I wish BGW had a Winter event.

I am going to visit my Mom in FL. I will be there from the 17th-29th. I will finally get the rest of my BGT credits I have been needing.

Christmas in 75 degree weather, couldn't ask for much else!

^ That's also normal for us around Christmas.

I am traveling to India (half-way around the world) for three weeks. My parents have already made it there yesterday, and I will fly in and meet them later this month. I am going there to see my parents hometown and then I'll get to tour the country and see places like the Taj Mahal and other places.

Christmas morning I open my gifts at home, eat a small meal, then go to a realitive's house (this year my aunt's new house). This year on boxing day, instead of shopping for good deals, I'm going to my girlfriends uncle's house to meet her family, enjoy a catered meal, and relax in a hot tub.
On the 28th I'm taking her to Medieval Times with my free passes, and on the 29th taking her to Disney on Ice: Monsters Inc. (I know not Christmas, but still)

I will be going to work to listen to customers say "I'm sorry you have to work today" even though if they weren't there I wouldn't have to work.

Well, considering the way my mother and sister are acting toward each other, I would imagine I'll be going insane. Thanks for asking :)

Not going anywhere, but the best idea for the younger folks, is tell your parents you want a trip to Orlando near the end of February as a big present. It's the best time to visit. All the rides operate, crowds are light, and temps are 55-75.

Hahaha, that was really really funny. (not being sarcastic either)

I too will be staying home, but I have friends and family coming here. We do this little "Magi/Santa" thing on Christmas eve where we get a present (99.9% of the time its a dvd or a cd). Christmas morning we do lots of presents and crap and basically we have a big dinner every night my family is here.

Depends on the weather. Plans are to leave the day after Christmas to visit family who live just outside of Washington DC. Since we're driving, the weather will have a big roll to play. If it looks like a major storm is coming, we probably won't go. but if it's looking remotely decent, then we'll on the road.

Hope it works out. I've never seen DC, and the kids are dying to see some snow since the last time they did they were babes.

Christmass on sunday most likely I will go over to Busch Gardens for some rides on the coasters and maybe some year end photos from the park. No family dinner for me as all my family is not in this state.

I'm going to My Grandma's house in Conyers, Georgia, where I will hang out with My Super Cool Cousins, Aunts and Uncle's. My Cousin John and Myself will probably discuss the Great Season UGA had with football and What the Braves need to do to keep up their streak of Division Titles. Also, I will be celebrating my 19th Birthday on December 28th.

I'm going to my Grandma's house for Christmas Eve and probably Christmas Day. It will be our last Christmas Eve in my grandparents house because she is moving at the beginning of next year, so it is kind of going to be a really special Christmas this year. She has been living in that house for close to 40 years. That is a long time so this is going to be a different kind of Holiday Season. I look forward to it though, especially the food and the presents, just like everyone else.

Happy Chrismakwanzhuka

... movie theatre. I already said I would close-open on Christmas Eve-Christmas and close on New Years Eve, but I just can't stand the "I'm sorry you have to work" comments because if they were really sorry they wouldn't be there. I'd rather people said "Thank you" and "Merry Christmas" and be done with it.

..
And I thought it was Christmahanahkwanza not Chrismakwanzhuka... heh.. huka.

I'm either flying home on the night of the 16th, or my parents are driving up to get me on the 17th. While at home, I'll definitely get some visits to BGT, and my parents might take me on a cruise.

^ Ok well I'm responsible for starting movies and maintaining inventory, so you have it pretty easy. Especially cause you'll be home about 2 hours before me, 10 reels of King Kong will help that.
