lol, I have no relatives around where I live. They all live about 320km away. The only relatives who will be with me is my wife and sister in law, and the kids should they not be late to arrive. However, I go back to what once was home the day after Christmas, to experience the full-fledged power of the Dark Side that is my family. So December 26th will be the day to worry about. We're going to stay there until New Year's, which should prove to be rather...'amusing'. o.O.o

It's that time of the year again!
Christmas carols a-plenty, lovely gifts and tasty food and drinks. And (in many places) snow! It covers the trees and houses in a wonderful white blanket. Yep, this year's Christmas brings tidings of comfort and joy Merry Christmas y'all!

You know it's Christmas when your dad asks you to photoshop one of the cat's pictures in the snow to include a santa hat so he can send it to his friends.
Man, I can't even remember the last time we had a white Christmas. I think maybe I should go out tomorrow and make a snow dragon, before it all melts away. Merry Christmas, all!

White so far here in Chicago. The temps are borderline for it to stay. We've had some snow and also some rain - sometimes freezing, sometimes not. There's still snow on the ground with forecasts of rain today - but for more snow tomorrow on Christmas day. Stay around, snow!
Merry Christmas everyone!

It's snowing in Oslo. We had some snow last week, and the weatherman promised that there would be frost to keep it from melting before Christmas, so we would have a White Christmas - and now the frost is gone, and we're just below thawing point, but it's been snowing most of the day!
We're hoping to go somewhere by car in a couple of days - just hope the snow won't make it difficult by then ... just glad we didn't need to use the car today, it wouldn't have been very comfortable. Merry Christmas ...

It's been white all week in Ireland, and incredibly bitter. I helped build a snowman outside my house, it's a very festive scene.

Paid my annual visit to church last night for Christmas Eve Mass- my wife's family is Catholic, and I enjoy the lights and singing.
Twas special this year as my youngest son was an altar boy. Everybody told me he looked especially angelic- they're all dark-skinned Taiwanese aborigines, but raised on pictures of blond angels. He's not like that at home! Merry Christmas to all

It decided to ice around here. That's pretty much ALL it does. We don't get snow days anymore. We get ice days. This is going to be my last Christmas with my parents. Next Christmas I'll be married. It's really weird to think of all that will be changing when I get married.
My mom bought an elf costume for our slightly new puppy. She hated it. Yep, it's Christmas indeed. I'm so happy! It's odd, but I think I like the thought of all the gifts more than the actual gifts themselves. Like, they're wonderful to open, but once they're open, they're not gifts anymore. It's kind of like how Monk kept the Christmas gift his wife bought for him but never gave him before she died. He put it under the tree every year and then never opened it. It's sort of like that.

Wow, it's been 23 years since we last had a white Christmas! Too bad it started to rain during the night, so what snow we had left is slowly melting away now. No snow-dragon this year, darn.

We still had some snow coming down this morning, but it's changed to rain. Who knows, the temperature may drop again.
I wasn't able to go to Church this morning, but last night was great GM, as I understand it, being chosen as an altar boy is a pretty big deal. Congrats! ^_^

Still, they wanted to do them, so it'll be pretty cool. I'm gonna be getting Dragon Age (WHICH I'M SUPER STOKED ABOUT!!!!), and my sister is getting me the new Star Trek movie (WHICH I'M ALSO SUPER STOKED ABOUT!!!). YAY CHRISTMAS! This year is a little odd because I'm actually house/dog sitting for a guy right now... so I'll be going home for a few hours but likely not the whole day. I'l be going over in a few hours for lunch, and we'll do gifts, and then my sister and I will play from a book of Christmas music (guitar duets!!!) that I spontaneously decided that we had to have and dragged my poor dad out to the music store just before they closed so that we could find and buy it . |

I didn't know you were in Chicago, Val. I'm not too far away! It's been snowy/icy here but today it got really warm and most of the snow melted. Which was alright with me- we did most the Christmas stuff yesterday anyway.
We got Guitar Hero World Tour and so I've been playing it allllll day. I'm pretty pleased with it. I've been saying that I don't like anything about GH except that it's fun to play- I don't like the music, or the art style, or any of that. But there are some ok songs, and they are pretty fun to play, not very many boring ones. |

Hey Katya - are you in a suburb, or just relatively close?
Yes - the warmer temps and rain were just too much, and the snow we got a few days ago almost all melted away. I deep-fried a couple turkies today, and had to do it out in a light rain. It was OK though - always fun to do, and always very good to eat!
