This is a season of firsts for me. It's the first holiday that Dono and I have really had together, but at the same time it's the first time away from my family. So it's a little bitter sweet.
But really I am just chillin with friends and Dono's family. A very relaxed holiday.
I'm not doing much. Christmas Day will see a honey ham dinner, and I'm crossing my fingers it'll also snow. We're supposed to get a mixture of freezing rain and ice that day, and that's not good for anyone!
Family dinner with a turkey, yum yum. My grandparents are over from France and my dad isn't travelling. All I ask for now is. at least, a little itty bit of snow.
Merry Christmas Nate!

It'll be a chillaxin' Christmas this year, but New Years is when we go up to visit my mom's side for a couple days. It's kind of a disappointing trip 'cause we won't get to see Dad's side while we're up there as well (No, Dad's side is not my favorite.), but we'll see my mom's side anyway! And I should be able to eat food by then. ;D
I doubt it'll snow on Christmas, but hopefully it'll stay cold enough for the stuff already down to linger about for a while. It's kind of rubbish, otherwise; my brother's gone down to his girlfriend's house and in replace we have my nan. I'm thinking about getting her train ticket tomorrow. >.>
On the other hand, turkey! But I want it to be my last turkey. Vegetarians are cool, right? *scribbles down NYR*

I'm just staying at home with the family, having a quiet Christmas. Well, sort of. There's really no such thing as a "quiet" Christmas at our house. Or a quiet day in general.
Merry Christmas everyone!

My family travelled up to Scotland to spend christmas in my one bedroom flat. 5 people in my one bedroom flat is certainly interesting. Lots of bumping into each other and knocking things over. At least the bed we bought for my brother finally arrived today so he doesn't have to sleep on the floor anymore...
Christmas dinner should be interesting with no table.
So my christmas consists of little space and problem solving. Hurrah!

Tomorrow I'll be attempting to fly into the snowy ice trap of doom that is the American East Coast, but granted I survive the flight, I'll be spending Christmas with my mom's family in D.C.! We're going to go see the Terracotta Warriors at the National Geographic Museum.
"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.
I have to travel down to London on Christmas eve, which, despite the car journey, should be quite good. But then on the 27th it's an even longer journey to Belgium (darn the Eurostar being down!) and then back home just in time for the new year!
Have a great one, guys!

We're hosting Christmas Eve, and then going to one my cousins for Christmas dinner. Parts of my family alternate sides for Christmas and Christmas eve, so we have two get-togethers. Nothing other than that, most of my friends are going away to visit family, or skiing, or something, so I'll probably just catch up on homework and read, maybe get some of the friends I never see and go sledding or something.
