How much time off are you taking over Christmas and what are you doing?

[Syt]

In accounting, there's no vacations over christmas.

In accounting, no one can hear you scream.

That too. At least I get the 24th and 31st off because the office is closed on those days. It might be I have to work on 6th January, though (epiphany is public holiday in Austria).

I have my next vacation already planned, though. 2 days in February. Then a day in March. Then 2 days in April. Then two weeks in May. Then two weeks in August. And then it'll be dry season until February again.

I'm in Dorset for a week or so.  Today I will have: CREAM TEA

Back to London to organise the New Year's event of the year. 

Then relax for ten days before I start work.  Oh and I want fish and chips.

I did my final bout of Christmas shopping. I got the Best of Elton John "Yellow Brick Road Anniversary Edition" CDs, "Joys of Gay Sex" guide book, Frankie Goes to Hollywood Greatest Hits, Like a Prayer Remastered CD, a Mika's latest album, plus, for a gift, a gay novel and a pair of red Tommy Hillfiger briefs.

I think the shop attendant may have suspected I'm gay.

Is there anything in your like that hasn't been taken over by homosexuality yet? Do you also buy gay shampoo?

I like rpgs, Quentin Tarantino and The Scrubs.

Besides, Larchy, did you buy any "homosexuality-themed" gifts or stuff recently?

Because if you didn't - let me turn the question around - Is there anything in your like that hasn't been taken over by heterosexuality yet? Do you also buy straight shampoo?

[Pedrito]

I'll take a tenday off starting the 25th to bring the kids to the mountains (Languish meet May '09, hint hint): relax, sleighing and skiing will be my most intense activities.

Of course he did.

As for what I'm doing, the kids are at their dad's from yesterday through December 31, so Max and I plan to have lots of sex between now and then. We're going to midnight mass at the episcopalian church nearby on Christmas Eve, then fuck all on Christmas Day. We might have dinner with some friends at a Chinese restaurant, or we may stay in depending on if we can be bothered to get dressed.

Can I clone you PLZ.

[Brazen]

Four more hours then I'm not working again this decade

This has been our tradition since we moved to Champaign, and we love it. We do NOTHING on Christmas day, though the first year down here we were stunned to find that pizza places are closed and were forced to cook. Since then, we found out that Chinese places are open and more than happy to deliver. It's just not an important holiday for us, though we do exchange gifts because that's fun to do.

The midnight mass thing is new. I thought it would be fun to see what it's like, since I've only been to one episcopalian mass and liked it well enough, and I used to love singing carols at the catholic church I went to on Christmas Eve. If we like it, we may do it again. If not, well, it will have been a new experience.

[Grey Fox]

Church on Christmas.

Insane!

It isn't expected when one isn't Christian.

Duh.  I learned that from A Christmas Story.

Helpful hint: It will be RIDICULOUSLY PACKED.

Haven't seen the movie since it first came out, and in the Chicago suburbs, the pizza places are still open.

Oh yeah, I figured. We're going with a friend who attends this church regularly, so he's already got us planning to be at the church by 10pm. (I guess they start singing carols at 10:30, and mass actually starts around 11:30-ish.) We'll do dinner with him, then head to the church. I even intend to dress up a bit.

I'm a christian. Actually resigning out of church requires effort and well, that's too much to ask.
