Christmas Eve
#1
silent night

what do you do on Christmas Eve?
a special feast? like the Italian 7 fishes?

get the children to sleep early if you can settle them down with "The Night Before Christmas"?[Image: santaglobe.gif]


put together toys with chinese instruction manuals and missing parts? grrrrrrrrr

it's a night of nostalgia for many.

midnight services? carols?

a few eggnogs? open gifts or no?

share some memories or traditions here?

I used to go to midnight mass back in the day & that evolved into partying the night away & now that I'm old I like a quiet evening. I accomplished every damn thing I had to do so that I could be a slug for the next 48-72 hours. There is a shit ton of food here, I intend to smoke some weed off and on for days, eat, watch football, Go Eagles!..open gifts, talk to my family when I'm not high. I have endless hours of free time, I'm reveling in THAT.

I must bake pies today.....the kids are allowed to open one present each from the pile under the tree-that keeps them busy for a couple of hours anyway....a couple of errands left this afternoon (must pick up party platter and stop at bank)...other than that, nothing special planned.

That's so cute I almost can't stand it. I checked out the photo info and went a-googling. There's a black cat in the story too!

Everyone gets to open one present each. I ordered Kobe steaks and lobster tails from around the world for my husband so that's what we're having for dinner tonight. Then the kids can bake some cookies and I'm making an Amish breakfast casserole for tomorrow morning. I also have some last minute shopping to do which sucks.

We are waiting for company to arrive. So I guess I should put on pants.

I will let the kid open one gift of my choosing. I'm old, so I don't go for the pajamas, I go for the video game so I can drink in peace. Good times.

We have spumante and Mr. Popper's Penguins on tap. Food is cooking, house looks and smells good.

If anybody is alone this Christmas season, at least you don't have to choke down goat. It could be worse. Go get the pizza and beer now before everything closes...

Cooking all day, going to Church later, then wrapping presents.

I got up at 2am to pee and had the brilliant idea of going to WalMart and finish my last minute shopping. I think there were only 10 other people in the whole store shopping. It was great!!

Please continue to show your ignorance, it's entertaining.

We're going to a party tonight. White elephant gift exchange. It's a fun group of friends so I'm actually looking forward to it. For our gifts we bought a remote controlled fart machine, the world's largest pair of men's tightie whities (well maybe not the largest but they're a size 100--we had the host in mind when we bought those), a Snuggie and twenty $2.00 scratch off lottery tickets. Guess which one will actually be popular?

The kids get to open one gift.

I'ma watch the 49'ers today!

Well I wanted to put on a Christmas movie, but the best thing I could find was Christmas with Dog the bounty hunter.
