A very quiet Christmas

Post Reply New Topic

By choice I am home alone this Christmas. Some people who know are trying to get me to take up offers to join them. Others are feeling sorry for me. While I wouldn't mind company of one person, my own company, youtube and forums like wrongplanet are just great. It is a rare privilege to be able to totally skip out on the annual festive madness.

What are your plans this Christmas?

Home alone with my dog watching Christmas movies and making cookies.

I'll be home alone getting drunk and watching blu-rays and wishing I was dead. All in all a normal Christmas.

I put up lights on a timer, and enjoyed myself making two presents. Now, I'm finishing up and getting into older projects to avoid seasonal content on the 'net. I'm stocked up to hibernate without a car for another three weeks, but I laid in a few extra sweets. I mark the position of the sun at noon each day if I can, and saw it bottom out yesterday.

Was planning on being home alone, but agreed to join my boyfriend and his mother for the day. That's usually very chill. Just movies, some beer and a lot of cigarettes smoked. Now it turns out that the brother, his girlfriend and their two kids are joining as well, which has me freaked out. But I think I'll manage. Even if it's the exact situation I tried avoiding by turning down my own family. They're at least quieter and way less chaotic than my family is.

The worst I'll have to endure is an awkward Christmas meal with my mother. Other than that I'll just be in my room.

I plan on spending Christmas with Jesus. Since its His Birthday. I always ask Him what He wants for Christmas. So Im going to Church in the morning of Christmas Eve and spend the rest of the time with my family. They think I'm selfish and lazy but I want to be a family person. I wish my family would go to Christmas Eve service with me. But they wont.

Anyways. I like the idea of being Quiet during Christmas. Because its easier to listen when you are quiet, for God's Quiet, Loving Voice. Only He understands me. No Christmas tree this year, i tried to put it up but it wobbled and then fell down. Oh well.

I'm also going to do gymnastics. And on Christmas day my mom and me are driving my brother back to college. Weird, huh. I like long road trips, loud music windows down looking at lights and hills and stuff.

I work this Christmas and New Year's. Better than being alone with my cats eating peanut butter.

Your cats eat peanut butter? Awesome! (sorry)





I'll be spending part of the day baking brownies and part of the day eating them... along with ham, sweet potatoes, green beans... will be here sending ASS-P a merry christmas post... will be dozing with my kitties and watching a YouTube Yule Log.

Im going to my parents christmas day. I will be alone in the evening though.

I would be more than happy to just stay in my room reading, spamming wp and playing the yule festival on my video game.

Looks like I will be spending christmas at my uncle's house in stanwood, with lots of relatives including all my loud rugrat cousins.

I get to spend Christmas with my parents, my husband, and his parents. This will not be pleasant. I will be expected to entertain them and participate in the conversations. Then, at some unspecified point in the day, I will be handed a phone and expected to talk to everyone in my extended family for about 5 minutes and tell them all how much I miss them (this is a lie) and ask about their lives (I don't care). This usually takes about an hour of constant talking - which overwhelms my coping mechanisms and I then get accused of being rude and insensitive when I get snappy and angry with people insisting I verbally respond to them.

What I really want to do is be at home, with my animals and husband, and spend the day playing board games. Fortunately, that's what boxing day (the day after Christmas) is for!

will prolly make more serious attempts at neaticizing my pig-sty. will prolly watch one xmas-themed movie such as the colorized version of "it's a wonderful life" or "polar express" or various of the "santa clause" trio of movies, all eye candy. will listen to lotsa xmas musics. mebbe stop off at sis' place if she hasn't headed for the coast. likely eat a turkey tv dinner and some chocolate apricots that some nice person somewhere mailed me.
