I'm off from Friday. I'm going home to my parents place on Saturday morning. My girlfriend will be staying with us, though her family lives in my home town too so she'll get Christmas dinner with her folks on the 25th. Other than that, we won't have to spend much time apart.
On the 21st, my parents are throwing a big party, which should be a nice way to kick off the holiday. It's probably going to turn into a bit of a music session, which I'm looking forward to also. On Christmas eve we'll probably gather at our local for some drinks and giving small gifts to friends - something which has been a tradition in our group for years.
Christmas day will start with present opening, and then we'll probably just be playing games for most of the day until delicious turkey dinner. Most of the rest of the week will be spent playing games and hanging out with friends and family. It should be a good time.
I have to go back to work again on New Years Eve unfortunately, but I've got the following day off. So I'll probably book myself and the girlfriend into a nice restaurant or something to celebrate the new year.
I have to say, I'm really ready for Christmas at the moment. It's been a tough few weeks for me and I really can't wait to start relaxing and having fun.
