Community Merry Christmas! Got any plans?

[Sophie]

Asking both those who do and those who don’t celebrate.

We celebrate on the 24th here, usually just eat dinner then open presents. I’ll probably go back home and play Siege or something after the whole night has cooled down. lol

On the 25th we eat the leftovers!

We usually eat various sausages, pork belly, lam and other misc stuff.

What about you? Feel free to post presents too once we get that far!

Celebrating at home today with the girlfriend's parents. Then there's hopefully some time left to game a bit before bed! Got Borderlands 2 VR from my parents, so really want to get started on that.

Friends and family coming over for a lunch then spending the night and next day recovering.

My plans are pretty simple, sit in a Starbucks all day. Played some Book of Demons and long overdue updating of all software and OS.

24: Wife’s Parents
25: Our Home
26: My Grandparents

We have a preschooler, so it’ll be wild.

I'm planning to eat my fill of these steaks I marinated yesterday.

It's going to be a hot day too (30 C), so I'll be making strawberry smoothies later. Plus, I got my fridge stocked with a slab of Coronas for tonight.

Of course, there will be some gaming to be had (and talk rubbish on Discord, obviously )

I live with my parents so it's more of a traditional Polish Xmas. Main celebrations take place on the 24th. Day starts with making the christmas tree look awesome. Cooking all afternoon, this year we made pierogi with cabbage/mushroom filling, borscht with mushroom filled dumplings, mushroom borscht and fried fish + plum kompot. Christmas gifts got pulled from under the tree after that and we had a couple drinks. 25th it's leftovers for lunch and neighbors are coming over later. Tomorrow we're visiting family.

Eating a lot, playing games with my family and looking after kids when not doing one of the former.
Lot less time to post and browse online.

Let's bump this thread, because I'm curious what all of you are doing at Christmas eve.

Like every year, I'm celebrating Christmas eve with my wife's family. This year it's our turn to be the hosts, so I'm expecting 15 visitors tonight.

For supper I'm serving Christmas Balls, which are actually meat balls filled with cranberry sauce, with mashed potatoes containing carrots and celeriac. My nails are still orange from cutting carrots for over an hour.

What about you guys?

 

[NarohDethan]

I'll make chilli dogs and play videogames. I'll visit my parents tomorrow if they don't have any additional plans, and exchange gifts with my girlfriend.

Yes I'm a party animal

 

[lashman]

What about you guys?

no plans whatsoever ... just sitting here, listening to the LiS2 soundtrack ... wouldn't change anything!

 

[NarohDethan]

Oh and listen to this all day

 

[Le Pertti]

I'm just eating chocolate, drink wine and play video games. Potatoes with salad for dinner and some fresh bread with nice cheese. Reading my post from one year ago it certainly is better this year.

And thank you everyone here that made my christmas even more special today, you know who you are!

For the past several years it's usually just me and my mom that get together and exchange gifts on Christmas Eve. Then make way too much food for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day.

Spent way too much on gifts this year (sorry, wallet!). But I was hopefully able to make the holidays brighter for some folks and that's all that matters.

The big thing I got for my mom was a new 8 inch chef's knife. She had been needing a new one for years and I found a really good deal on one during Black Friday. Also got her an indoor grill, so take that winter, can't stop grilling season now!

And for anyone curious about this year's dinner spread, it's somewhat traditional. With stuff like ham and green beans. Also going to be making potatoes au gratin, deviled eggs and turkey club pinwheels. And for dessert I made 2 dozen buckeyes and a chocolate mocha cheesecake with a cherry topping.

In case folks haven't heard them called pinwheels or are wondering what buckeyes are I'll include a couple links.

Turkey Club Pinwheels

Turkey Club Pinwheels use the traditional club sandwich ingredients, but wrap them in a tortilla. Easy to make, eat and clean up!

I'll be grilling steak like last year. Scroll up for a picture.

The weather isn't going to be as hot as last year, though. Still, plenty of food and gaming to be had.

 

[Stevey]

I'm cooking the christmas dinner this year as I said last year that its just like a sunday dinner.

There's only 2 of us so it should be easy enough.

Merry Christmas and/or happy 25 December to anyone.
Have a pleasant holiday.

I will be spending this day at work but i think the day will be more relaxed than usual.

Enjoy the day.

Dinner with my siblings and then probably a movie right here at home

 

[C-Dub]

I did all my Christmas prep yesterday, which mostly involved the chopping of vegetables.

Today my better half is cooking the bird, and we're heading to my mum's place for dinner.

Have a merry Christmas everyone!
