2009 Holidays Discussion- Open Thread

For some (like me), tonight is Christmas Eve. For many of you, Chanukkah was wrapped up about a week ago. In two days, there is also the Kwanzaa celebration. In three days, the Day of Ashura will be remembered by millions of Muslims around the world. This is done this year a little more than a week after Muslims celebrated the New Year on their calendar.

Needless to say, December is a busy month for celebration, family, and togetherness.

And because I am a nosy schmuck who likes to know what others are doing, I ask you to please use this thread to tell everyone how you are celebrating the holidays. Are your presents wrapped? Did you have to travel to be with family and friends? If so, where did you go, and how was the traveling? For you Christians out there, do you open presents tonight or tomorrow morning? Are you baking or cooking anything? If so, what?

For me and the spouse, we opted not to travel this year. It's just the two of us and our two cats. We are currently making a gluten-free banana custard pie while sipping some rum-spiked egg nog. We have a small tree up in our living room with presents nearby sent to us by family and friends.

It's a nice, peaceful, calm holiday for us. Hope it is for you as well.

It looks like you've got a Charlie Brown tree, BBS!

Mine is about eight feet tall. OT: Am I the only one who gets really angry to see tons of people who NEVER go to church at Christmas Eve Mass? Even worse is when they act like church is stupid, and that they’re happy they only come once a year. WELL THEN DON’T COME AT ALL, YOU PHONYS!

"Merry X-mas" is another one of my pet peeves. Along with the obligatory "Happy Holidays!"

Even one of the ushers at church said that to me as I was leaving(not intentionally, but still)! I responded with a loud Merry Christmas. Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys their Hannukwanzistmasolistice Season!

people getting too offended over greetings is one of my pet peeves..

people take this shit so seriously, and seem to get really set off when someone doesn’t use their particular seasonal greeting of choice… lighten up!

A mellow Christmas is on our agenda.

And not for nothing, I try to take others’ beliefs into consideration when I wish people Happy Holidays. Thank goodness that people aren’t all the same – it would be a very boring world (peaceful though).

And just a little info. My birthday was December 5 (yes, my name is April – go figure) and I have decided that ALL I want for my B-Day and Christmas is the Superbowl Championship this year. I’m unselfish, what can I say? heh heh heh.

My day

I woke up sick (courtesy of my 8-year-old niece), but had to get stuff started. Got the barbeque (basically, pulled beef) started at 6am – my great grandmother’s recipe, and a Christmas Eve tradition passed down from my Mom. It’s the first year I’ve made it and it smells WONDERFUL! Then baked 2 pumpkin pies and made some fudge (one batch with, one without, walnuts).

We’re headed to my mother-in-law’s in about 45 minutes, then they’re coming over tomorrow morning. Breakfast, stockings, presents, not necessarily in that order. At some point, I’ll put on the album that my Dad always plays on Christmas morning… nope, not Christmas music, but Wanted! by The Outlaws, a compilation of country songs. No I’m not much of a country music fan, but any song that directs a woman to put another log on the fire, bake up some bacon and some beans, go out to the car and change the tire, wash the socks and sew the old blue jeans, then come and explain why she’s leaving is pretty fun.

Happy Holidays to all, and to all a Super Bowl ring.

How can you not love a team that does this?

Heh heh.

Love the description of the country music. Always hated country music.

Oh, and I’ll trade you my chocolate chip cookies for your fudge (without nuts). My favorite dessert ever.

I will be leaving

We will open our presents tomorrow and have fun with them (I anticipate 1 or 2 new video games) until Monday. Oh, and our tree is at least 4x the size of yours, BBS.

Only Way

Steelers get in is if they win out..This is the Playoffs for them, 1 and done. Beat Baltimore in Pittsburgh and them go down to Miami and get a win..then you get the honor of being the 6 seed and traveling on the road to New England in the 1st round.

And then you have to hope that New England beats the Glitter Cats, cause if the Glitter Cats win then you guys are out unless Cleveland pulls out the upset on Jacksonville the next week.

there’s a lot of drama between my sister and my dad’s wife, so that’s set the tone of the evening.
Tomorrow will bring a Christmas morning filled with stuffed stockings, presents-by-the-tree, and the traditional awkward-recitation-of-bible-passages (it makes my mom happy, so I can put aside my ‘religious differences’ for a few minutes, anyway)… hopefully, Christmas ends up being a bit more relaxing than its eve.

I was washing my new awesome food processor by hand (my mom and older people don’t like dishwashers) and I rub my thumb across the blade..ouch! I won’t go into details since many of you might get queasy when talking about blood. Anyway, I took about 5 mins to play surgeon then I continued to cook…that proves I’m straight up G!! :-) I had to make mac n’ cheese, a meatloaf, and baked ham for dinner at my grandma which I won’t be attending since they eat at noon. I also had to make an eggnog cheesecake for our Christmas dinner at home. I’ll cook our dinner tomorrow. Then I had to finish wrapping gifts and needed my mom’s help since I’m now one of Jerry’s kids. Busy day….

One night on NFL.com...

I got on this rant with these idiot Broncos and Raiders fans before the season started about how their teams were going to be the rising stars of the NFC back when the whole Cutler controversy was happening, it went a little somethin’ like this:

Guess what? EVERYONE is a rising star in the AFC. Depending on which crackpot analyst/voodoo witch-doctor you listen to it could be any number of teams that will soon be apologized for in some “It wasn’t my fault…They just couldn’t stay healthy…They never realized their potential” hocus pocus. Last year it was the Jaguars and the Chargers. Next year it may be the Broncos and the Jets. Guess what? It’s still gonna’ be the Colts, the Patriots, the Steelers and the “Whatevers”. Because it’s all about LEADERSHIP!!!! The AFC West has none. And that is the bottom line.

The Raiders fan went on to call my mother a faggot and the Broncos fan said we wouldn’t even make the wildcard and Denver would have home-field advantage in the playoffs. LMAO.

They don't card me...

But I’m a regular and an old fucker. So your chances are better if you’re sitting with me but it’s no guarantee.
And it’s the “Sportsden” on Weinbach Ave., not the Sportsman on Franklin.

My christmas was really different this year...

After a really bad night of sleep, my dad came into my room and woke me up at 7am, and told me my granddad had just been rushed to the emergency room. So I put on some clothes and we came there as quickly as possible. After a few couple of hours, we had to make a desicion. Should we both stay and go home and celebrate christmas in the evening, or should we make “shifts”. We opted for the latter, and I stayed for the first 9 hours. During that time span my granddad almost passed away in front of my eyes. I really want to thank the nurse and surgeon who were pretty much in and out of his room all afternoon, if it weren’t for them my christmas would’ve been a lot more gloomy…

Wow - take care, jocre

Hope everything turns out well and that your granddad sees a speedy recovery

How can you not love a team that does this?

Lots of prayers

and thoughts go to you and your family. I hope your granddad recovers well and is able to spend more Christmases with you.

Thanks for your kind thoughts

He is healing pretty well, and will probably be signed out on Monday(However, I and my family feel it is a bit too soon).

Thanks again for your kind words and thoughts,

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Now that nobody will read this thread, I will finally get mine posted.

We typically stay home for Christmas Day with our three children, but this year was different. My brother-in-law is Army Reserve, and he was sent to Iraq for a year. He came back home to his wife and kids earlier this year, but he had lost his job while gone. Now he is working security. Our extended family is mostly in Michigan, while we live in NW Indiana. The brother-in-law couldn’t get time off from security to come back here from NY, so we went halfway to him.

On Christmas Eve, we all converged on a vacation rental home in North East, PA. It was a beautiful property right on Lake Erie, and it was large enough for our five households. We spent Christmas together and my wife’s parents were able to see all their scattered grandchildren this holiday. Good memories!

Anyhow, we just arrived back in IN a couple of hours ago. The kids are down and we are getting ready for church tomorrow. Our children received some nice presents, although that is not what it’s all about to us. It has been a good week.

Merry Christmas, everyone! Don’t forget the Reason for the Season and the greatest gift we’ve ever been given! John 3:16
