Poll: The Holidays
The board is totally dead today, so I hope this gets some movement going.
1. What are your holiday plans?
2. Any holiday traditions you do?
Optional: Do you expect any holiday drama to occur this year?
Re: Poll: The Holidays
1. What are your holiday plans?
Christmas eve we spend every year with about 50 of Sergs closest relatives at the annual xmas eve party...christmas day we'll spend at my brothers house with my nephew, bro, sil, mom and dad... my sister might show up later on too.
2. Any holiday traditions you do?
Annual xmas eve party w/sergs family (all the little kids get matching jammies and presents), christmas cookie decorating with my nieces and dad.
Optional: Do you expect any holiday drama to occur this year?
Where there is DH's family.. there is drama.. something will happen thats for sure lol something ALWAYS happens when you have 50 relatives in one place.
1. We are heading down to South Florida on the 21st. Then the 22nd we are driving up to meet the ILs in Daytona at D's grandma's house. We're coming back down either the 23 or the 24 and will spend the rest of the time at my parents house and hanging out with friends.
2. I always like to help my mom with whatever I can, wrap presents, do some decorating etc. The only real holiday tradition I can think of is celebrating Epiphany on January 6. I won't be home for it this year, but I still plan on celebrating it with Daniel.
I don't expect any drama, but I've already done my fair share of bitching about driving up to Daytona for two days right after we get down. It's an unfortunate byproduct of the ILs lack of communication. Blah. I won't get into all the details.
1. What are your holiday plans? My parents are coming this weekend to celebrate early. I am cooking up a big meal Saturday night and we will exchange presents. Sunday we are off to the Nutcracker. Yay! Then Paul's fam comes Wednesday until following Monday.
2. Any holiday traditions you do? Not anything out of the ordinary.
Optional: Do you expect any holiday drama to occur this year? If a certain someone choses this year to finally, officially come out of the closet, then it could get interesting.
1. What are your holiday plans? Christmas Eve, church with Jordan's family then dinner at my parents house with my Dads side of the family. Christmas morning, go to Jordan's parents for brunch, we're having ham and I have to say I think my FIL makes the best ham!!!! Then later in the afternnon, go to my parents again to see mt Mom's side of the family.
2. Any holiday traditions you do? Not really. My FIL makes his amazing ham every year.
Optional: Do you expect any holiday drama to occur this year? If there is, it would be with my Dad's side. We have some flaky people on that side.
1. What are your holiday plans?
this year... i'm working xmas eve. Depending on what time TJ's dad's side is getting together, i'll go there with him. If I don't make it there, then we'll meet up and go out to my sisters. this is the 1st year she's doing xmas eve and i like it... helps me out for the next day lol.
xmas day, we'll be going to tj's mom's side.. his grams. and I believe his mom's also to exchange presents. But I dont remember what day we actually do that, or if we are. Then xmas night, we're meeting up with a bunch of friends out for drinks cause everyone will be in town.
Also, we'll be cooking for my parents one day. My dad is working 3-11 both days and they'll be going to my sisters early xmas eve morning.. while im at work. ::sniffsniff::. :-( I'm thinking of waking up real early and having them for a xmas morning breakfast cause I don't know when else we would! tues is tj's bday... wednesday, his team has a wrestling match... sat, we go to my sisters for my nephews bday... bah.
2. Any holiday traditions you do? I don't have anything real set anymore. Only thing I try to do every year is watch the christmas story marathon as much as possible! which will be hard this year lol.
Optional: Do you expect any holiday drama to occur this year? I think it'll be a smooth holiday this year!
1. What are your holiday plans? We FINALLY have Christmas Day off! W/ him working in the news and and me w/ animals, there usually isn't a chance to celebrate many holidays. We're going over to my mom's side of the family and celebrate there...I haven't seen most of them since the wedding! The 27 his dad's extended family is getting together, but DH will be working. 28th we're getting together w/ his mom's side.
2. Any holiday traditions you do? Not really, we used to draw names on my mom's side and get all the kids something...but I think we're just getting the kids stuff.
Optional: Do you expect any holiday drama to occur this year? No, but I know we're gonna get crap b/c we haven't been to my sides Christmas in a long time.
