¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 11-29-2002, 01:02 AM What do you do everyyear around the holidays?
Its a MUST for me to watch these movies:
Christmas Vacation
Home Alone (1&2 only)
Grinch
I also take a bath every Christmas Eve. I dont know why lol.. its just a thing I do!
Also, every Christmas Eve, me and my parents go out in our driveway and watch Santa drive by on top of the firetruck. Anyone else do that in their town?
fr00ti 11-29-2002, 01:29 AM Well I always listen to "Snowed In" like 89568756856 times. And, I listen to Feliz Navidad. :D

-*Forever*- 11-29-2002, 02:30 AM Oh my... once December hits, call me Queen of Traditions.
- I curl up in my mom's bed with the candles around me and watch one of two movies : "Die Hard" or "The First Wives Club"
- On Christmas Eve, we go to my grandma's and have fondue
- I wake up @ 5:30 a.m. Christmas morning and I wake up to "All I Want For Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey
- I listen to Christmas music @ night before I go to sleep
- We make ornaments right after we get our tree
And I DO have more. But I can't think of them [I'm tired] and I'd bore you.
Ewan's My Man 11-29-2002, 02:43 AM Picnic under the Christmas Tree
We have dinner or breakfast...or lunch under the tree and get a present...normally on christmas eve.
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 11-29-2002, 03:02 AM Ugh. I forgot the biggest tradition of all LOl. After Santa on his firetruck, we head to Nancys (my moms friend/friend of the fam) for dinner.
Classic FOL Fanatic 11-29-2002, 04:08 AM well, I guess the only thing I do every year around Christmas time, is that I watch The Santa Clause (the one with Tim Allen), I can't think of any others...hmm.
Pitooey 11-29-2002, 11:35 AM I listen to Christmas carols right after Thanksgving. I look at my favorite Christmas movie Scrooge with Albert Finney. I let my kids look at the Christmas cartoons.
Jinny Girl 11-29-2002, 11:40 AM Put up the tree, watch it rot, take it down, throw it out. Be with my ****ing family. Watch them all get fatter and make really mean comments like i've been doing recently because they sicken me. Go to sleep. Pretend I like my presents, which are usualyl from abercrombie and glittery and pink, go back to school. get on with life.
All holidays suck my ass.

Moonlight Lady 11-29-2002, 12:26 PM Watch all Christmas themed episodes of my favorite shows.
Wish for a white christmas
Watch christmas movies.
send ecards
Go to the office christmas party-We're going to BonGiornos for lunch this year, we did that last year. They have good food.
Christmas Eve
We get a sub platter from Mr. Sub
We eat that after my brother and his family get back from church.
Around 8 or 9pm, I go for a walk with my nephew Connor. We take the dog with us and walk around the Cul de Sac.
We come back watch a movie.
Then we open presents.
*Side note*
I really hope that Robin (sister-in-law) doesn't read from the bible. She should do that upstairs with my brother and their son and then come down. She did that down here one year and I complained to my father about it. I don't celebrate Christmas for the religion part of it. I love it for the presents, food, music, family. I'm done now. :)
Christmas day, wear one of my new outfits.
Play with whatever new electronic toy I got
watch one of my movies or shows.
My sister and her family comes over and we exchange gifts with them and then we eat and eat and eat. and eat. Okay, i'm probably gonna overeat again and deny it. :lol:
then we watch "A christmas story" It'll probably be on all day long on WTBS and my dad we'll be wanting to watch it all day.
I'll have to listen to Jessie yap her computer-know-it-all yap.
Taran will be hyper and i'll have to tell him to shut up. Justin and I will take over the black olives.
I guess that's about it.
Kay Scarpetta 11-29-2002, 12:41 PM We ALWAYS go to Mass on Christmas Eve then everyone goes over to my grandparents house and eats. I have to put up with the extended portion of my family. Grrrrrr.
Then we have dinner at someones house (it changes every year) and then go back to my grandparents for Christmas night.
That's about it....I hate Christmas.
