  • catching up on sleep, most definetely. and prolly watching a couple of movies with the immediate family. its probably the one time we're all together
  • going over to my sisters house, to eat!
  • Trying to recover from a terrible stomach bug that's been going around, hoping I'm going to be able to eat Christmas dinner tomorrow.
  • *sigh* worrying, which I have been since the 21st and I am slowly going insane. My sis is home, so chatting with her and my mum. Wrapped some presents, had to take my sisters original present back to the store and exchange it because her boyfriend got her the same thing (argh!). Had an argument with my mum and 2 shoppers, had an argument with my dad, shouted at my nan down the phone because she is deaf and have learnt how to play chequeres. Quite productive really!
  • Going to my Parent's house to open presents with my Mom and Dad, Sister, Brother in law, and 2 Nephews, then, after my bf gets off of work, I am going with him to his parents house for dinner. Gonna be up late, since that doesn't all start until 6pm.
  • Stay home by myself, as I have the past several years, with TV and AB and maybe a DVD.
  • Same thing I do every eve: sleep
  • My husband , myself and 2 boys head over to my Mother-In-Laws for Christmas on the 24th. We celebrate a day early because she has a close brother and sister family get together on the 25th. We all have a lot of fun together the day before Christmas.
  • Nice dinner and candlelight service.
  • Start a fire in the fireplace, listen to Christmas music and drink a couple of Christmas beers.
  • Usually I do not do much on Christmas Eve but this year it is different. Having arrived in Singapore on 19th December, I had dinner in my brother-in-law's home and had turkey for the first time on Christmas Eve with my other folks in Singapore.
  • This Christmas Eve, I'm going skiing in Colorado! Fun, fun, fun!
  • go to the relatives house and eat, eat, eat!!!!
  • Same thing I do every day, try to take over the world. :)
  • We have a buffet dinner and then we exchange presents with my sister and parents.
  • Light the fire,feet up,a good christmas movie and a good glass of vino : )
  • This year I'm playing my sax at my church's Christmas Eve service
  • Stay at home.
  • We have dinner and the kids get to open one present.
  • chicken Parm!!!!!!
  • Mull wine and watch old Christmas movies. Then we read "A Christmas Carol" to the kids before they go to bed. This is the last year of that. The youngest will be off to college next year.
  • We're in our 70s. Our Christmas Eves are pretty much history, now. My "Best Friend" is the victim of Alzheimer's disease, in his so-called "final stage", after diagnosis some 10 years ago. I am his 24/7 care giver...with not one complaint about it! Late-day activites are not what is best for him...he suffers enough confusion without such. So, I've politely "rain checked" on the traditional large family gatherings and celebrations on Christmas and New Year's Eves. So, to answer your question, we stay home...have a nice dinner...receive loving calls from family and friends...watch TV...and, of course, have sex! :-) <Please take note! Please, let no one be distressed by my candid answer here. Both of us are very happy, including my S/O, who, even though he doesn't even know who I am, still laughs at just about everything I say to him ...now, THAT's dementia at its ultimate! :-) We've done it all in our 36 years together...things like loving families, a host of friends, great careers, 32 countries and 37 states...and, while doing same, we never knew what was to come later on. Thank you, God. Daytime works good for us, however, and we will enjoy the re-gatherings of my S/O's large family for big dinners on Christmas and New Year's Days. My family, also large, is up north, and always sad that we are not there with them. We both have tremendous families. My only advice to everyone here: Enjoy your lives everyday...every single day. Be able to look back with joy and gratefulness. Don't waste it with things like hate, anger, nit-pickin', judgmental crap or any of the other bad, negative stuff. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE AND DAY TO Y'ALL...AND A MOST REWARDING NEW YEAR, AS WELL.
  • Snuggle with my sweetie.
  • I'm planning on ritually sacrificing a virgin. It's really easy to round them up, just host a LAN party.
  • looks like I'm a batchelor again so Ihave a chicken in the crock pot and jack daaniels
  • Go to my sister and brother in laws house and visit with them and their children and grandchildren. We basically just relax, enjoy spending time with each other, eat and have a few drinks.
  • Smoke a bowl and listen to some classic rock.
  • I have been running around putting Christmas cards in the doors of all the people I forgot to post them to. Now I have just eaten dinner and am on Answerbag.
  • This one I'll be sitting around trying to figure out how to get Bob out of my wall (Bob's a red squirrel that just moved in; I thought I should give him a name if we're to be roomies for a while)
  • My family is picking out a Christmas tree today. Then we are setting it up and putiing presents under it. Then we are having a fried food buffet. We do this every year.
  • enjoying quiet evening with my family playing games. stuffing the stockings and a glass of wine with my wife.
  • Well, tonight was my first Christmas Eve in Belgium, and mine and my husband's first Christmas Eve as a married couple. I had to work today, so he cooked a Christmas Eve dinner that was out of this world. Foie gras on toasted bread for appetizer, with some red wine we bought in Paris. Then some shrimp with a white wine sauce, and some baguette. Main course was salad, more bread, and grilled lobster with herbed butter. It was so great we decided to make it a tradition. :D Merry Christmas!
  • Eat tamales drink beer and pass out gifts to family members
  • I usually finish up with the wrapping of gifts, and make some crappy desserts.
  • We had invited guests for a meal...but the weather is so bad that they were unable to travel...so my hubby and I had a pleasant fish dinner, and we are going to a Christmas Eve church celebration with members of our village. After which, we will invite neighbours over for mulled wine and snacks. After they have gone, we will open our gifts and go to bed. Sleep in tomorrow before a short trip to visit my 92 year old dad for Christmas dinner at his nursing home.
  • Nothing different than any other night :)
  • Nothing much this year. I had to work until 5. My cousin invited me to her house, but it is a 2 hour drive and the weather is supposed to get bad, so I'm not going. We're just eating appetizer type food and drinking some wine. I'll wrap presents and that's about it.
  • Eat, watch TV, spin the cylinders on my 1858 Remington .44 cal. Single Action Revolvers. I cleaned my birds cage and made room for the new toys Santa will bring him tonight.
  • Well I'm watching Balls of Fury right now.
  • I prepared gifts long time ago, so today I just put them under a Christmas Tree. Tonight me, my husband and our daughter, will have a light seafood dinner - sushi and lobsters. And shampagne - our traditional holliday drink. At midnight we open our presents, and in the morning everybody is going to rush to the tree to see what Santa gave to our daughter. She asked for world peace from him, but I'm guessing he's going to reward her for her concern about our planet and people and being an excellent student.
  • Apparently, I spend a lot of time now on Answerbag. I used to go to my in-laws, but now that has been changed to Christmas day.
  • I'm baking bread right now! :)
  • eat, sleep, repeat.
  • Have a big supper with my family!
