pretty much sums up mine too..... the great thing about hosting christmas though is i decide what's on the menu....and this year I said FUCK turkey - we're havin steak!!:cheers2:
i love working on holidays, you usually get paid extra. for the job i had the past few years, if you worked on thanksgiving, fourth of july, christmas, new years, and i think one or two others, you get paid time and a half, plus extra tips:cheers2:
Ehhh. Yeah. Just another day. The only thing Christmas-y we're doing this year is dinner (for three people), which is going to be pretty modest compared to other years. We didn't even get a tree, but all that kind of thing is okay by me... Not a huge fan of Christmas. I do, however, look forward to stuffing. :biggrin:
i'd be fine with just a big feast and some wine and spending time with my family it happens we had a pretty big christmas and i got kind of a nice haul, but really the stuff doesnt matter. i prefer the feast to the presents but its nice, because i dont often buy myself new dvds and cds and books and stuff, so its nice to get a little something like that
Yeah, I got paid full time and a half. I also get to work tomorrow all day, even though we're not supposed to. Probably going to do odd cleaning jobs, which is fine by me... easy day.
It's great because I have discovered The Aquabats. Watched Wallace and Gromit, watched Eastenders. Got three pages of 'work' done! (great by my standards). Managed to wake up on time, even if I went straight back to sleep. xD It's not been a great day, but it's been alright. Which is good. NOTE: I know now what I want for Christmas.
Well I just had a good laugh. I forgot to wrap a picture frame I bought my mom months ago. Haha she just woke up and asked where her frame was. Haha I told her that she was now being greedy.
Well my christmas is pretty much BORINGGGGGGG ! but the food was great and the presents were good : ]
My head may be a bit clouded by red wine and rum, however I doubt I'm exaggerating too much when I say that this has seriously been the best christmas ever and that I've never felt quite so at peace with.. well, everything.. with myself, my family, the world.. hahah, cheeee-sey. But yeah.. good times.
i'm haveing an ok christmas, i just can't seem to stay awake long enough for it to be bad. my daughter really likes her gifts. i got a bunch of new music so of course i'm happy. and everyone here seems to be doing ok.
I just ate a massive dinner, got some cool gifts and I'm about to drink some cognac then snuggle up in my new heated blanket...perfect.
not really, this is the lamest christmas ever. i was supposed to go to my boyfriend's family's christmas thing, but i broke my wrist a couple weeks ago and my parents won't let me drive. he's pretty bummed about it and so am i, but i never really meant to hurt him. the worst part is i just don't want to feel like i'm being a burden on him or anyone else because i can hardly do anything for myself. even though he says he wouldn't mind doing everything for me and that i wouldn't be a burden. now, i just feel really bad for not going...but i did it for a reason, i don't want anyone saying "do you need help with that like every five seconds" and looking at me all funny or thinking anything bad about me just because i can't some things. plus, i don't want him doing anything for me, he already does too much as it is. i swear, this guy...he's like my personal superman. it's crazy. but yeah, i just feel really terrible about not going. =[
