Christmas in your corner?

I think she gave up that bit of African resurgence when everyone on my father's belittled it. I don't think anyone uses her "African" name, anymore.

Dang, so no extra presents still.

Quite unusually, I am spending this Xmas mainly alone.

D. left for his hometown with his mom (who is still wheelchair bound) to meet his grandparents and he is coming back on the 27th.

My aunt (mom's sister) who never married used to live with my parents but she died earlier this autumn, so my parents do not feel like hosting a Christmas eve dinner this year. Instead I am having them over for the dinner and then they leave for vacation at some spa resort on the Xmas day.

My plans are to see "Hobbit" on the 25th and "Cloud Atlas" on the 26th. I'm back to work on the 27th anyway.

I will probably have some friends over for the New Year's Eve.

[Maximus]

I try to please Thor, Odin and Frey.

Good.  Are they, pleased I mean?

Doesn't look like it.

I plan on assembling toys that need assembling. Various profanities will be used.

Thankfully, I didn't buy the Lego Super Star Destroyer for my eldest boy. Still tempted though.

I have none of that this year, thankfully.  Taking a break from the tricycle, bike, train track, and drum set of years past.  Lots & lots of Legos, but that's something we build later on.

The girls have multiple Pony playsets and I need to see if they need assembling. I'll also get stuck playing with ponies. I WANT PINKIE PIE

Boo-fucking-hoo.

Usually we spend the evening of 24th with the in-laws, and the kids open their in-law presents there.

Christmas day is my birthday, so usually we're with my family: morning mass, then opening the presents, then a traditional Chrsitmas meal, then falling face down on the sofa trying to digest the lunch. Usually this part is interrupted by the kids who want me to assemble their toys, this year it will be me playing with my son's RC helicopter 

The only drawback of the day will be that, for the fourtiest year in a row, my birthday cake will be a panettone, Italy's traditional Christmas cake

Most people in HK aren't Christians but we celebrate anyway.  It is just an excuse to take vacation, eat, shop, etc.

I wasn't referring to a typo, just making a joke about the odds of your fortieth birthday in a row falling on Xmas.

I can only assume this is some kind of Polish traditional joke
