Pick up my toddler from his mom around noon and try to find an event we can go to ourselves since all my extended family have opposing schedules nad/or are too far away to be feasible (to make it back by Sunday evening to give him back). Christmas after a breakup kinda sucks, but it'll get better over time. At least I get so see him on Christmas and I got some nice presents I think he'll really love. It's easy to please a 2 yr old.
We will be in Florida with the family for Christmas. Christmas day will be gift opening time for all followed by turkey dinner followed by nap time, then more visiting. Its the one time of the year that the immediate family is all together, a great time together and celebrating the birth of Christ. BTW, Bro & I will go to the range and do some shooting on the 23rd.

Will be spending Christmas morning with my wife and daughter, after opening gifts have a large lunch, turkey and ham. Then around 12:30 leave for work.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Keep it safe.
True gun control, is hitting where you aim.
Me and mine will be celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior.
Christmas Eve, read Luke 2:1-20 a tradition we started after our daughter was born and continued as the boys were added, Christmas Day, Feed the stock, check the wells (my 7-365) job, say a prayer for the ones who work on all holidays to keep us safe and the lights and heat on, a special prayer for the troops. Spend the rest of the day with whoever shows up to visit us and Dad. Food will be the grazing style set out for who is hungry when they are hungry. We have a lot of frozen turnips left in the field, they bust well when shot and some of the grand kids like to shoot.

If any of you are in the area and do not have a place to celebrate Christmas, Please come to my home. You will not leave hungry, and you probably wont leave without shooting something. You will be treated like family.
And that Aaron is Christmas.

Lots of Christmas workers; I'm actually not even on call....what is this "overtime" you speak of? Christmas Eve services, lunch with friends, dinner with family.
Visiting my 87 yr old father back in VA, then on to SC, GA and Fla to visit the far flung
family members. Lots of traveling, but it is good to visit everyone.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
hanging out with the inlaws in down town chicago 13th floor it has quiet a view.
we don't do much on christmas open presents lay around go to the step fathers family get together. Christmas eve in the cuban tradition is the big deal, Noche Buena is full of loud music, lots of pork, yuca and mojo. a good time to be had by all.

Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”; and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.
I am out of town, enjoy your holidays.
Watching the last 3 children that are still young enough to be home open their presents from the wife and I, and of course them telling us what Santa brought them.
Cleaning up from the party Christmas Eve, 8 kids plus significant others for the half that have them and 6 almost 7 grandchildren not to mention assorted close friends and parents.
When did I become the patriarch? I believe it was around the time I became "Responsible"...
I'm thinking I will sneak out to the man cave and cast up some 8mm boolits in the mold that is currently on the big brown truck finding its way to my house as I type this.
Going out to visit my troops at their Combat Out Posts (COPs)- You all have a wonderful and safe Christmas; watch out for the other guy on the road.
Best Regards,
Ron
On the eve my wife and I will enjoy watching the kids crack into their gifts. Christmas day will be a feast of barbecue ribs, beans, potato salad, homebrew etc. A hike will follow to burn some of that off. A trip to the range with our 1885's is likely the following day depending on the weather.
We hope you all have a safe and pleasant holiday season.

well not going anywhere this christmas just sitting home with the family will prob cook a turkey and fixins, dont know yet. and as for newyears we will be doing the same thing that we are doing on christmas just minis one person. Of course the kids could have plans for new years im sure they dont want to spend it just sitting around with their old mom.
Everyone have a safe and fun holiday,
Christmas morning will begin with shouts and screams of "Santa was here" (Kids still believe in Santa because dear old Dad is too tight with money to buy gifts)
Pictures will be taken of gift opening while the living room turns into a disaster area.
I will then tend to the livestock while Christmas dinner is finished being prepared. We are having ham and probably turkey also. All the fixin's too.
Dinner will probably be about 1:00-2:00 pm, then it will be nap time. May go to the local range if things work out.
Merry Christmas to all.

Have duty on call all weekend. Merry Christmas to all, a big shout out to emergency providers, and of course those in service of our country.

If you run into any Kiwi's say "hi" from me. They are easy to spot. They will be shivering madly as they are accustomed to summer Christmas's.Originally Posted by rwsem
