Countdown to Christmas - What are you doing for Christmas?

I can’t believe how fast Christmas is approaching. Its less than 2 weeks away now.

I am holding out pretty good on not buying more Christmas presents so far.

Although I did see some moon rock jewelry today and think “Gee…that would be a neat gift to buy”.

But I held firm.

Anyway. It sounds like we are going to spend time with my wifes side of the family on Christmas Eve this year and will spend Christmas day with my side of the family.

What are your plans, if any?

I go to my aunt’s house she buys a honey baked ham with all of the fixins. I’m really fortunate to have some family still around. I’m glad this year to still have my mom. She has chronic kidney disease. I already see her health deteriorating and I see her getting more frail with age. Life can be unfair at times. I didn’t make the rules and I sure as hell am not happy the way life turns out when you get older. That’s why every day is a new opportunity to show our loved ones how much we care. Now that I’m older I’m more grateful every year for the friends and family I do have. Seasons greetings good man.

Christmas morning I will set an alarm for 4:30am, so I can make my coffee and wake up a little.

My daughter normally wakes up about 5am :woozy_face:

Watch the kids and my mom open presents.

Then we will have Christmas dinner later :fork_and_knife_with_plate:

We will be at my father in law’s house for Christmas. He and his brother love to cook, so there will be a ton of food. I am bringing a charcuterie board of salami, crackers, fruit, cheese and olives.

Going to Toledo Ohio to see my grandmother who has Alzheimer’s and my dad’s side of the family. It’s going to be at my aunt’s house. She’s really sweet. Her husband is the nicest person I know. I hope that I do them all Justice. I came up with an idea to do a group sculpture with sculpey clay. Everyone has to make a different piece and then we’re going to glue that all together to make a big sculpture at the end. What do you think of it?

I’m scheduled to work 3-11p both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, though I plan to stop off at my sister’s for a while before work Christmas Day.

They will make a big kickass breakfast that day, tradition at their house, like around 11a or noon.
