Celebrating Christmas

Post Reply New Topic

Did people here celebrate Christmas? How did you spent it. I know I’m late, I keep forgetting to post this.

Ya. Went to my parents' place (and am still here.) I live in the same town as they do, so the covid rules didn't cause any trouble to that. Here the "main event" is on Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day like in many other countries. Mom had a morning shift at work, so the first half of the day everyone else kind of just did their own thing. Later in the day, I started warming up the food and getting everything ready (most were prepared beforehand), so things were almost ready by the time mom came home. We ate, and not long after we shared and opened the presents. After that the others started playing my sister's new game while I retreated to call a friend of mine (the rules of the game were too confusing so I didn't want to play. :p) I joined my mom and my sisters to play another game, though.

Christmas day isn't really a big deal here, aside from being my mom's birthday. She had work again and my sisters were tired from staying up too late (I did too, but not as late as them), so I ended up doing my own stuff.

We celebrated at home with just us and our kitties. We did gifts, listened to Christmas music, watched the kitties play with their presents, ate cookies, and talked to some family members over Zoom. It was nice.

I celebrated Christmas yesterday. My parents dropped off my presents. I opened them when I got inside after my parents left. I listened to Christmas music on YouTube. I had my turkey dinner at 5. I stayed up until 11 and watched Hogan's Heroes. I took the situation and made it my day. I did things that I wouldn't do at my parents place. I wore my German colours and watched my favourite show.
