Christmas '08

[Alter]

What do you want? Where are you going? How are you going to spend it?

 

[waif]

Staying at home with family. I want money for some basic home recording equipment. Occasionally I get a bunch of albums, which usually works well. One time it was Helloween - Keeper 1, Rhapsody Symphony pt 1, and both Avantasia albums.

Sometimes I get socks, though. That sucks. Practical gifts ftl.

I'm mostly worried about how I'm gonna afford gifts AND preorder the new Kreator. I'll work it out.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

CD's, clothes, maybe some glassware to drink beer out of.

 

[Belligerent]

I really want the Still Life hoodie and Bloodbath's Unblessing The Purity shirt. I told the old lady so she BEST get me dat shit!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Tomb Raider Underworld
house stuff
not sure what I'll buy with my bonus money from work. Maybe a recoil reducing stock for my shotgun

 

[Matt]

Already got a new laptop, so probably a Packers hoodie, and Iron Gym pullup bar and some money.

 

[genocide roach]

~gR~

 

[Melodeath]

I do not celebrate Christmas (nor does my family), but I will be back home from school and we might see a movie or something idk.

 

[seedofvengeance]

I'm working on Christmas Eve until at least 5, but probably until 7 or so. As soon as I get off, I am leaving on an 8 hour drive to Arkansas to see the family. Hopefully I make in time to get an hour or two of sleep before my sister wakes everyone up.
As for what I want... bill money.

 

[unknown]

unfortunately, I'm going to two work christmas parties (one for one of my jobs and the other is the girlfriend's). otherwise it'll be spent at home. I asked my dad for an Eee pc and a new dvd player. I told mom I want some cool beer glasses...nothing huge

fun fun

 

[Valerie]

I don't really care what I get in terms of gifts, I just want to have time off from work and relax with my family.

 

[ossa]

I'd pretty much just like to spend some time with my family because I don't see them as often as I should. I told them I would like a mineral kit though. Or in plain terms, a box of rocks. And maybe some new fossils.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

There was a person I had planned for months to spend it with, and will not be doing that now, it'll be really difficult to be very happy, especially since this time of year is pretty depressing as it is.

..


It would be cool if someone noticed me wanting that Moon Knight figure every time we go to the comic store and got that. Other than that I don't really care about a lot of material goods or things, just a few small groups of things I obsess over. Getting CDs for me is pretty much impossible since I sort of always have everything...so..action figure ftw. And money...as if anyone I know has that.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

christmas is pretty fucking awesome
i may be going over to my friends' house
isn't the wolf in my sig fucking cute? i love animals *hug*

 

[MasterOLightning]

Fuck Christmas. It sucks when you're poor, and everyone brags about all the great shit they got. I'm probably getting socks, or $15 worth of gift cards, or something shit, that I will still appreciate nonetheless. Fuck it.

 

[cookiecutter]

I'll be going home to Boston and visiting family in Rochester NY. I'm not really hoping to get much for Christmas as I'm already receiving a lot to be able to go to college. I just enjoy the time to see my family and my friends I don't see during the school year.

 

[Vossyrus]

Spending it with the family. And of course working, though it's arranged so I'll work like three longer days and get a four day weekend or something.

And honestly, Christmas with my family isn't really celebrated that much anymore, so I don't really care if I get any gifts.

I'm likely going to buy myself a fancy new laptop, and a ton of CDs, and clothes and stuff.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

I expect nothing.

 

[mutantllama]

stuff

 

[Zephyrus]

Probably the usual, but sans my grandmother coming from Buffalo because she's in a retirement home now.

Christmas Eve I usually sing with the Adult Choir at the 5PM high mass at St. Paul Church in Cambridge, Mass. My mother is also and in the choir and my father plays the organ. They have me help sing because a lot of the choir is out of town visiting family.

After that we go to a fancy restaurant in Harvard Square called Henrietta's Table. Good Stuff.

Christmas Day we do presents in the afternoon when my father gets home from playing the morning services. Then we cook and eat our traditional Christmas dinner: Beef tenderloin with a bernaise sauce, stuffed mushrooms, broccoli and glazed carrots. After dinner we do stockings, which tend to be mostly gag gifts.

I plan on getting some cash, a leather jacket, books and they'll probably give me a bottle of liquor like Amaretto.
