Yes, i purposefully say x-mas 1. because of futurama's awesomeness and 2. because i have long since been disgusted with how this holiday is all about consumerism and buying peoples love. I mean, hell, Jesus was supposedly born in the spring, the only reason we chose this time was because it coincided with other major holidays, like Yule a pagan festival for men, that involved a large number of drunken homosexual orgies, just thing of that sometime tries to sing you their "yule-tide carol"
so yeah, consumerism, I was in the mall till 11 last night buying gifts for my girlfriend and family, not because I wanted to be but because my parents are my only form of transportation and they had to get their shopping done. On a brighter note, I picked out a laptop that they purchased, which is awesome, so hopefully it will be a good holiday season. and tomorrow is cookie day. Basically most of my moms half of the family will come over to our house and we will spend ours making and decorating sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies (my favorite), peanut butter cookies and many many more. It should be awesome, I love working with the dough and frosting.
So I'm really curious, what are your peoples holiday plans? I mean I know what we do, we just gather at one of my parents siblings houses, exchange presents, then hang out for a few hours, but what do you guys do? have any traditions or just the same old boring holiday break? speaking of which, I hope I'm not bored to death over break, I need to make plans and by that I mean see more than just my family and girlfriend over break
I go to Syracuse every year to my grandparent's house. Its usually just my family and my aunt's. We live the closest. Christmas Eve is usually the most fun about Christmas. We go to the Fireside (a restaurant) and its kinda like a small party. Then we go to night church. The only time in the year that I ever go. And then on Christmas we open presents and then my family usually drives home to do more presents at our house. Then nothing, basically.
ReplyDeletelol, dont you just love midnight mass? i have no idea how many times I've fallen asleep during it. But a few years ago 2 of my sisters were sitting with us, and they had been making jokes to each other from some comedian they had watched earlier on tv about how Catholics always draw out church, and then when the priest went into one of these long drawn out homilies they just started crackign up and the rest of the church was giving us dirty looks, ah good times.
