How Was Your Christmas?

[xSilverPhinx]

Mine was awful, just awful. It's safe to say that I'm never going to my maternal grandparent's house for Christmas again.

Too much petty bickering (unbelievably petty), Christian fundamentalist beliefs and bad weather. There are also way too many mosquitos at night, which caused me to throw my pillow at the wall more than once in anger, only to insantly regret that decision.

I spent the entire time worrying about my dog back home.



Yeah...so how was yours?

Sorry to hear about all of that. D:

I had a great Christmas. It was helped by me getting Christmas night off for like the first time since I started working back in early 2012.

My sister and her family came over. I got to see my nephew for the first time in months. I got to watch him open up gifts, and my sister even had him fingerpaint little snowmen on ornaments, and that was his gift to us. It was the most special gift of all.

My mom also prepared a lunch that was the best meal I've had in ages. She knows exactly what I'll eat (I'm extremely picky). I was so full on side-dishes I could hardly get to the meat!

The last many years of Christmas's have been depressing, and missing that magic that my childhood Christmas's had... I suppose this Christmas is what a great adulthood Christmas is like.

It all went smoothly and the kids loved it so 10/10.

Challenging! However,  scamp seems to have had a good time and that's all that really matters.

[No one]

Just like every other day.

What's a little stress during the holidays? 

No major consequences other than the few wisdom hairs that seem to have sprouted overnight.

Sounds like you had a great Christmas!

That's not normal!

Mine has been full-on entertaining and going out. I'm exhausted and have a belly to show for it. Hosted 2 x dinner parties so far, another one tomorrow and then a new years drinks party for 16 neighbours. Pay-back for a decade of not having a house worthy of guests. That's in between lunch and dinner dates out. Looking forward to beans-on-toast and no washing up or service charges. Upside: have gone the whole holiday having avoided turkey.

I've enjoyed this year because we've done everything on our own terms and been able to spend some fun and relaxing time with the kids and friends. They've also benefitted from a well-planned programme of activities and meetups.

Still got StarWars to look forward to on Wed's and going in to Town to see the lights and another dinner out.

Need to get back to work ASAP to pay for it all. This has been our most expensive Xmas ever!

All-in-all, an exhausted thumbs-up!

Mine was great. It was just the parents, brother and his girlfriend, Grandmom, and me. Lots of good food. Grandmom beat us all at Cards Against Humanity. Plus I got a surprise package containing mead and chocolate from G85.

I asked for that didn't I!

She really is 69 though. Turns 70 in May. Unless I'm missing some kind of joke??

Google it! 


Having moved back home obviously I have been spending Christmas with my family just like last year. My grandmother has been coming here for Christmas ever since my grandfather died a couple years ago.
So between her and my mother the food has been amazing. The gifts were nice, and excepting a few issues not directly related to the season it has been great.

69 is a sexual position associated with mutual oral sex.
