Yes it may be early... but... What are your Christmas/Winter Holiday plans? (Sorry if I'm offending anyone, apparently Merry Christmas is offensive now a days...) What are your New Years plans?
Sleeeeeeeep, in warm blankets during a cold night <3 Bwuahah... Other than this, I don't really know, I guess i want to spend some quality time with friends... since it is our final year in high school together, gotta make some sort of plans I have a feeling that a gift exchange between friends will end up being something along the lines of joke gifts given to each other.
We've invited a world-class celebrity chef to Thanksgiving dinner. This is gonna be nerve-wracking. Gonna spend a week in December on a big boat with a huge mouse. Then family get-together for Christmas. That's my parents, my aunt, my brother-his-wife-and-child, my sister-and-her-husband, my partner and me. Instead of buying gifts for each other, we each draw a name and buy one big gift (or a couple modest sized gifts) for that person. Everyone else you can buy little $5 gifts or so. Hot cocoa while opening gifts Christmas morning, followed by Dad's apple sausage ring with scrambled eggs, and then we all take a nap (for some reason). Lex
Thanksgiving holiday: 1. Hang out with friends the first weekend. 2. Go back to my hometown and hang out with my best friend 3. Come out to said best friend. 4. Go back to my parents' house. 5. Eat turkey and too much stuffing 6. Do homework Christmas holiday: 1. Move back in with parents. 2. Christmas 3. Come out to parents. 4. Await confirmation/denial of a job I applied for. 5. Take said job...or start searching.
This summer: - school camp. - summer school. - start studying for year 12. - hang out with my friends, particularly those I haven't seen for a while. - maybe go away with my family - we generally go somewhere. - get fit. And that's pretty much it

This holiday will be a little different again... My bf has decided that he won't spend Christmas day with his ex wife and her parents in Montreal. Unfortunately, that means he misses being with his kids on Christmas day. But since we've been integrating our families since this summer, we plan on going to buy a Christmas tree on December 5th and decorating it that weekend. Maybe decorating a gingerbread house that we bought too. Then on the 19th we're going to get together and have a Christmas dinner as a family and exchange gifts with each other. His kids will head for Montreal on the 21st. Then on Christmas day, my bf will be joining my family for dinner at my sister's house. So Christmas dinner will be my parents, my sister and her husband and their two little girls, her husband's father and step mother, my ex wife, my boyfriend, and my two daughters. Cool, huh? :icon_bigg He may join us earlier in the day too. I'm selfishly looking forward to spending that time with him - but I'm sad that he won't be spending the holidays with his own children. Normally my wife and I would take the kids to church on Christmas Eve - but we won't be going to our old church this year. However, perhaps we'll find somewhere else to go. We'll see. For the New Year's weekend, my family spends it at the cottage up north. It's usually quite nice up there in the winter. Snow all around, the lake frozen and depending on the conditions, good for skating. We'll often have a bonfire on New Year's Eve before coming inside to play cards or games. It's a little bit 'Norman Rockwell' which is nice.
Two weeks in California and Arizona to visit friends and family over Christmas. I really, really, really miss my nephews and haven't even met my niece yet. Oh and for Thanksgiving next week, me and another american here are planning to have a thanksgiving dinner for our friends. Neither of us have ever cooked a turkey but that's what email to moms are for
Brisbane to visit my horse at my uncle's stables. Then fly over to Singapore, visiting family friends and then I will go where ever I want!
Nothing much. My family's had one holiday that I can remember, and that's because it was a wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation when I was 16-ish. I'll probably see the extended family on Christmas Day, but other than that, no real plans.
I have quite possibly the busiest holidays of my life coming up. The day after Speech Night for my school, I leave to go to France where I'll be for 4 weeks. I know my host family have loads planned so that should be fun although rather tiring. Then I get back to Australia. I have two days to recover, one of which I will see Chris, then I'm off to the Scholar School, which is basically training and selection for the Australian team for the international chemistry Olympiad, which would be absolutely awesome if I got to go to that. Finally after I finish that, the rest of my family are going away for a week, so I'll be home alone, which means much doing stuff, seeing Chris and seeing other people. Somewhere in there I also need to get my holiday homework done. They're really busy holidays, but they should also be amazingly fun. I can't wait until school is over for the year!
