Christmas Time Is Here Again! What Are Your Plans?
- Thread starter darev
- Start date
Smaller than last year when we had 13 for lunch - 6 this year. The boy has brought his girlfriend which will liven things up - they're both tattooed black clad death metal fans and I say bring it on. Big turkey for lunch, Yahtzee after. Might catch a movie in the evening. Nothing different to every other year to be honest.
Spend tonight with my two best friends, some beers and food. I messed up 2 out of 3 gifts so I'll have some explaining to do.
I'm not really in the mood this year, which is a first. Probably cos I was told that come Q1 '26, we'll find out if my department will be outsourced and I'll be out of a job at some point in the future
But hey, friends, food and beers! Gonna be a good one!

Did our pre Christmas travel and the family catch up already. Now we are in for a quiet but a very relaxing Christmas.
I’m going to completely wrap myself in a warm vintage tone blanket that is my newly acquired Bassman Neo 115 cabinet
Merry Christmas everyone!

Sitting around the house with my wife and cat.
Being thankful that she's back to normal from a very bad case of pneumonia that put her in the hospital the first part of November.

Normally I'd spend the holidays with some good family friends (whom I call "American Aunt and Uncle" since they're the first family that my family made friends with when we first came to the US), but American Uncle is not well.
So... it's going to be couch! couch! couch!
(Yes, I ADORE K-Pop Demon Hunters, I learned to play "Golden" for my students)
And the teacher band wants to perform "I'm a Believer" as an exhibition act at the school talent show in May, so I need to use our holiday break to shed on that song, since the bass line is NOT easy. And I want to be able to play it in my sleep so I can focus on rocking out on stage, dancing around, really entertaining the crowd.
Oh, and this past weekend, my ballroom dance instructor and I performed a routine at the studio's annual winter showcase:

Low key Christmas day with my wife and 2 adult sons. Porchetta is prepped and ready for the oven.
Then a quick trip over to the UK for an uncle's funeral. Despite the circumstances, we'll get to see family we don't see often and kind of looking forward to New Years Eve in London.

I won a 8lb gammon joint in my local pub weekly meat raffle earlier this year. That's now defrosted and soaking in the largest pan I possess - and it's a tight squeeze! Tomorrow I'll be boiling it, roasting it (whilst drinking cider!) and serving it up around 1600. Given that there's just me, my 91 year old mum and two vegans, I imagine a significant amount of my time over the Yuletide will be devoted to eating ham! 
I love your speeches, can't wait for this year's.Another boring year in my boring life.
Same old stuff:
Speech at The U.N.
Giving 4 star Generals advice on strategic warfare.
Deflect another meteor from hitting the Earth.
Yawn.

EEEK! I got so caught up in the names I found I forgot to put an obvious one in there!
An obvious oversight and not paying close attention to the job at hand. I fall on your sword.
My plan is to, hopefully, pass a few kidney stones, consume pain medication and play bass.
Football then dinner at Nawab Indian restaurant. Kid & family got their package 3 states away. No gifts as we're simply trying to infuse some normalcy back into our routine.
