Plans for the holidays

Somewhat scarily, we're less than two weeks away from Christmas 2009. Anyone have anything special planned for the holidays?

I'll be doing the family thing on Christmas Day then meeting up with friends on Boxing Day to exchange Secret Santa gifts then basically just hang out, BBQ and have a few drinks. Other than that it will be business as usual, no trips or anything planned at this time.

We will have the usual exchanging of gifts here in our house that have been a tradition since the time I could remember it and also I guess we also gonna have a kind of street Christmas party. After that I will have to wait for New Year to arrive then go back to the usual stuff.

I'll try to meet up with high school and college friends, and of course a video game marathon if ever the video card is replaced with a new one.

cant say i have much planned other than dinner

Drinking. Lots of drinking.

Given your seasonal username, your failure to mention stealing Christmas disappoints me greatly.

That was a failure every year since I started it. Drinking helps in forgetting the failure of it all. Killing Santa is in a future agenda, since stealing Christmas doesn't work, might as well kill one-half of the source (the other half being Jaesus).

Do you get time-and-a-half or double-time for working public holidays? That ought to lessen the sting a little.

Smoking, drinking, avoiding people I don't like. Nothing special.

My understanding is that QLD and WA are the only states who have gazetted the public holiday to dec 28 (i think gazette is the right term)... shops are still open on boxing day (26) but double and a half pay only is paid on 28th. Whereas other states are paying penalty rates on both the 26th and 28th.

Damn, unlucky.

was hoping to get some quality time with the g/f and family in general..but 2 months of vertigo and now a UTI...fantastic the week before xmas...right now plans are too get healthy and figure out times i can spend with family. Aunt/Cousins coming in from out of town day after xmas and have to do the Channukah thing for 1 night with them at some point.

I'm probably going to study. Otherwise I'll be kicked out of my university.

Almost forgot - drinking.

What kind of school makes you study on Christmas and during these holiday season.

All set for a week long vacation in a beach resort and to have fun with a bitch.
