Xmas 2014 - The Languish Way.

[mongers]

Seasonal Greetings everyone, wishing you all an enjoyable and stress free holiday period.

So what are you plans for the next few days up until new years?

Me, I'm not going to the big family gathering in Devon for various reasons and will intentionally be spending most of the next week alone.      


I shall be using this time to work on a couple of business ideas, do some much need decorating, possibly visit a couple of friends and do a bit of posting on Languish.  Looking forward to this family free week for a change.

Writing, meeting friends, and playing some video games. It's a short break, though, because I have to work tomorrow, and return on the 5th (with the 6th being another holiday).

I could have gone with today/tomorrow and the 5th off, but apparently my work is indispensable here.

I was planning to go to Vienna with my parents for a few days but they are down with flu so we cancelled.

So, the plan is to have a traditional Christmas eve supper (depending on how they feel, they will either come to my flat or I will go to their house), then watch some movies and play some games over the next days. Probably will also hang out with Dawid a bit but he has his grandpa and mom over so spending holidays with them. A friend of mine is coming to visit on the 30th, and will stay for the New Year's eve (having a couple of people over) and leave on the 2nd. The 6th is a public holiday in Poland as well so I am looking for 2 weeks of free time, give or take a day here or there where I have to show up at work (technically, after tomorrow, only 29th-31st of December, and 2nd and 5th of January are working days).

Nice. 

Any minute now, you Europeans will have an American bitterly berating you for having so long a holiday, how 1 1/2 unpaid leave is enough for anyone and  no wonder Europe is the economic basket case it is.

Not going anywhere, but my parents are driving down to Kentucky and will be here thru the 30th.  We're planning on going out to dinner with them and my father- and mother-in-law, which should be cool since both my father-in-law and dad are Vietnam vets and like to talk about it.

I had plans to visit family on the 24th & 25th but I don't have hope that it will happen, my kids & gf are starting a flu. Flu that I got last week.

[Josephus]

Gonna sleep.

[CountDeMoney]

Fuck off, Mongers.

Same deal as the last few years-- catching the 7:00pm church service Christmas Eve with Tommy and my parents, then back to my place with my parents, one of my brothers, the wife, and the kids to have some traditional guiso de carne.  Later on my other brother will show up once he's had enough of his in-laws and we'll open an aged bottle of Belgian Tripel.  Watch the kids open a couple presents and then try to get them to bed.

Then Christmas morning the kids will open their presents from Santa.  Then over to my parents' house for more presents and dinner.  Oh and it's sort of a family rule to keep A Christmas Story running on TV the whole time.

Fuck off, Mongers.

Seasonal Greetings to you too, Money.

Short 3 day week, taking Friday off also, so looking forward to a short vacation.
Christmas day meal with family at a cousin's house is the main thing I have planned, and that's always a good time.

[Admiral Yi]

I get two paid days off.  Will catch up on sleep and masturbation.

[Legbiter]

Eat good food with family and friends. Laze around. Read. Go lift heavy things. Flu is kicking my ass at the moment but should clear up in a day or two.

[The Brain]

Contemplate Jesus.

My office is closed until 7th January, so I couldn't even work if I wanted to. I am at my parents place now and will visit friends and family all over Northern Germany in the next days.
