What are your plans for Christmas?
With the festive season nearly upon us, less than six weeks to go and I bet you're not ready! I thought it would be nice for us all to share our plans with the rest of the forum.
For my part, we will be having a simple Christams at home with the family. Christams Eve is normally spent hand delivering Christmas cards to all of our close friends and family.
With Christmas day actually falling on a Monday, it makes for a nice easy weekend to prepare. AND I finish work on the 22nd and done return to work until 2nd January 2001!!!
Amazingly we have completed the majority of our present shopping already, this is unbelievably organised for us. Only a few for my son moth of the moms to deal with now.
Christmas dinner: A nice tradiional one with Turkey and all the trimmings, loads of Plum pudding and cream and a few nice bottles of white wine will make for a sleepy afternoon.
I guess by the law of averages there must be a least one of us out there who doesn't celebrate Christmas as well.

I'll be doing the same as Ratcat as well as going to parties that I really, really don't want to go to.
Christmas has never been the same since they stopped showing Star Wars here. It used to be on every year when I was a kid.

Hey, maybe Stanta will bring you the re-re-release on video. 
I found a good way out of those parties, don't go! I intend to go to about 1 party this year and that's for New Years Eve.
We made the BIG mistake of having a party at our place on Christmas Eve, it was a great party but I do not want to be up at 2am on Christams day this year picking peanuts out of the carpet.

Wow...I'm feeling utterly pathetic now...I'm not doing anything...no parties, not twinkling lights, no eggnog...I'm not even going to watch those old puppet animations from the 60's on TV...

Maybe you could roast a quail, I mean a turkey would be too big for you on your own.

Hey EJ, whats a Turducken? some kind of weird Chicken/Turkey/Duck hybrid.
I guess asking a bunch of Americans what their doing for Christmas is a bit dumb. You guys tend to do more for Thanksgiviing don't you? I mean it's considered a bigger holiday that Christmas? Is that right?
-+-+-+-+-+UPDATED POST-+-+-+-+-+UPDATED POST-+-+-+-+-+UPDATED POST
OK, there is a distinct lack of Christmas spirit around here amd it's just not good enough. Applogies to all those or Jewish, Buddist or other not Christams celebrating faith)
Anyway, go checkout www.christmas.com and start getting Christmasy, there's only 40 days to go you kow.
And before you ask, no I'm not on any back hander or referal fee, it's just the best Christmas site I've ever found.

Oh, I've heard on that. There's a version that starts witha quail or something and you end up with like 6 or 7 pregressively larger birds. Definately for the BIG family.
Don't say it's ages 'til Chrystams, it's only 39 days....
39 days....39 days....39 days....39 days....39 days....39 days....
Oh my gosh and I haven't even thought about the mince pies yet, ot the chocs, or the candy or the nuts or the beer. Oh my, oh my I need to go shopping!

That's 24th is it?
That's why you can't get so built up about it yet, you have Thanksgiving just around the corner. We don't have that in the UK so Christams is the next big festival/holiday.

Does America have Fireworks Night? Or is it just a British thing because of the gunpowder plot?

The 4th of July and New Years Eve are "fire works" nights.

Yeah, the gun powder plot and Guy Fawlkes were all about the attempt to blow up the Houses of Parliment. So it didn't really impact other countries.
