Happy Holidays Pairings Players!

Let us settle down with a nice blanket, a cup of hot chocolate or tea, and gather around the fireplace. Now that we're warm, I felt that I should tell you that I plan to spend my holidays waiting for two of my best friends to come home and just after Christmas I will be taking my own mini-vacation and going away for a few days. But do not fret, I will not be gone long. How about you pairings players? What are your plans for the holidays?

You don't need to link your thread in this game, all comments are open. You will get four random cards for participating :)

You have until December 31 to participate just like the rest of the event games :)

Have fun with your best friends! ♥

As my family don't celebrate Christmas, I don't really have any plans... I will mostly be doing job hunting.

I am actually really excited about it! Even though you don't celebrate you can still enjoy the break, and I hope you have a great relaxation time, even if you are job hunting.

I have so many holiday plans I can't hold them all help.

Tomorrow I will be meeting up with ~~my lover~~ fellow TCGer Bear and another ~~mistress~~ buddy of mine from up north! We shall have a romantic rendezvous for three days including a trip to Disneyland with another friend of mine! ~~I shall also use this time to prepare for the end of the world in three days.~~

On Christmas Eve I will eat dinner with another one of my 23942342 wives and her family, and on Christmas spend the holiday helping make a giant feast for my family. After Christmas I'll be heading up North to stay with my grandparents and frolic in the snow because I am still five years old and love making snowpeople.

And then by the time I come home for New Years I'll probably just pass out until school starts again. Yeup.

Disneyland! I'm so jealous!!!! I've never been orz. ~~if the world ends in three days I'll be mad because I didn't get paid yet, so no shopping sprees for me~~ I hope you have a great Christmas with your friends and family, send some snow my way. :)

I will be going on vacation on the 21th of December, so if the world doesn’t end then I will be back the 28th of December. I will celebrate Christmas on the 22nd and 23rd of December with the family of my boyfriend. On the actual Christmas days we don’t do much just hang out in the vacation house, we will head out the eat at a restaurant and the other day we go gourmetten. Gourmetten is an activity where a group of people at the table cook their own dish in small pans, using different ingredients on the table, if that is eaten, and you can cook something new. It is kind of a Dutch habit to gourmetten with Christmas.

Anyway, me and my boyfriend will spend Christmass on the 29th and 30th of December at my parents plays. What we are going to do more is kind of a secret, so I just have to wait and see.

At the end of the year and beginning of the new year a lot of friend will visit us, we are going to play a game where present are on the table and you throw a dice, each number on the dice contains an assignment. The gifts are all packed so you don’t know what is inside them. There are 3 rounds each with different assignments, in the last round you can open the gifts. We always end up in a fight with the most wanted gifts. Assignments can be that you have to change seats or steal a gift from someone else. It is a lot of fun.

I remember you mentioned that you were Dutch. I have never heard of Gourmetten, but it sounds really cool actually. Maybe I will steal that idea when me and my friends decide to celebrate. I played a similar gift game but at a bridal shower. I hope you have lots of fun with your friends and boyfriend's family.

My family and I celebrate Christmas but only as a commercial holiday so we'll be swapping gifts and eating ourselves sick. Nothing too exciting.

I do plan on writing a bunch of Inazuma Eleven fanfiction over the break though! I've already started here!

It's still a tradition and that's what my family does too. Although my brother is the worst at giving gifts, I already got mine lol.

I don't know Inazuma Elven but I'm sure others will appreciate it!

I don't really have any plans! I'm going to take a couple of days off of work, sleep a lot, play video games, RP, hang out with my dogs, and do puzzles with my mom. So it's really just business as usual for me.

Days off work sounds like the best Christmas gift ever!

I'm going to Houston to see my relatives and hopefully my elementary school friend (WHOM I HAVEN'T SEEN FOR YEARS!) will be able to meet up - tons of catching up to do. This also means a week break from work and able to enjoy some sunshine, away from the rain and wind and possibly snow.
I'm livid that Houston downtown doesn't have a Nordstrom.
Also, I will be seeing my baby nephew in person for the first time which means I could totally drown him in presents and kisses.

I don't know what a Nordstrom but I am livid that they don't have that which I do not know either!I hope you have a safe trip and have fun with your cute nephew!

I'll probably be working! Hopefully not for too long though. XD And then I'll be spending time with my family. c:

I hope you're not working too long, so that you can enjoy the time with your family :)

I don't celebrate Christmas, so I figure I'm going to spend it rolling around doing something inconsequential, sort of like every other day of my life. orz

it sounds like a good week though. Not being busy is always amazing...just think of all that time you could spend laying in bed /drools

This Christmas (I gave you my heart.. OH NO CHRISTMAS MUSIC IS IN MY HEAD AGAIN), I plan on spending the day with my parents and boyfriend, watching the Christmas Day parade on Christmas morning, and opening lotsa presents! Then just kicking back and enjoying the rest of the day while eating my mom's famous Christmas ham~ Then a few days after that, having a little Christmas party with my friends, then even more after that, going up to see my boyfriend's parents out of state! :D

But the very next day I gave it away? u.u Christmas ham sounds delicious...I'm not a big meat eater but that still sounds delicious. I think it's sweet that you'll be visiting your boyfriends parents for the holidays, and I hope you have a safe trip and have lots of fun.

Well, I just finished my last final today, so for the next couple days I'll be trying to forget that school and grades exist XD I'll also be working at the store and trying to get my presents shopping done. Christmas day will be spent with my mom and sister and our cats, probably low-key; I know in the afternoon we're going to see Les Miserables in theaters, already have the tickets (since it comes out that day \o/). I think we're going to see my aunt and cousins after that, or at least later in the week for sure.

Otherwise, yeah, working, catching up on some musebox RP with my best friend, and finally FINALLY taking my PS Vita out and playing Persona 4: the Golden!! which I have resisted doing for almost a month now to get me through my finals >.<

Also catching up on my sleep! ;o;

And my manga.

...and my cleaning oops.

We are opposites on this one. I am obsessively checking my grades since I finished classes. Les Miserables, I want to go watch it and I'm tempted to but I'm saving my free ticket for Monsters Inc University...whenever that comes out. But I hear such great praise for Les Mis so I hope you and your family enjoy it! Also super jealous of you having a Vita.

Here's to hoping for lots of sleep and clean clothes/rooms.

Other than going to church on Christmas Eve, I'm just gonna chill out at home. Exchange gifts, drink lots of tea, the usual.

The important part of all that is the tea. What type of tea will you be drinking? And yes, I am judging you on your answer :P

all i have planned for the holidays are just spending time with family so far!
i know i'll probably go out with friends a few times but i'm not sure. maybe i'll spend my holidays catching up on sleep Q_Q
i would like to go boxing day shopping too~~
idk, i'm a last minute type of person so all my plans are always made the day before aaah.

Spending time with the family is the spirit of the season, so I hope you enjoy it! Boxing day shopping isn't too bad, but the deals I find aren't also that big to write about. I dunno, that's my experience and I try my hardest to avoid all things with shopping after the holidays.

Ooh, have fun with your best friends! My family throws a get-together every year involving turkey etc, so I'll probably be going to that either on the eve or actual day. I'm doing a secret santa with my friends too on the day closest to Christmas that we're free too, so there's that to look forward to!

Thank you! ^.^ I'm actually seeing one tomorrow because she just got in this morning. I hope you enjoy your turkey and the secret santa thing sounds absolutely fun. Me and my friends did it once..or twice ourselves but we have dinner or drinks, which is just as awesome :)

Plans....well, that's interesting actually.

I normally don't have many plans, except this year, I'm looking for a job and staying warm indoors. That's....about it honestly!

Good luck in your job hunting Ralene!

I came back to my parents' house for the break and I'm pretty much just relaxing all over the place, which is awesome! I plan to read some books, do some roleplaying, watch some Supernatural and Sherlock and catch up with some anime as well as going on a TCG spree. That's pretty much it!

I might meet some friends at the mall or something, but no plans have been set yet.

I'm glad you and Marge got there safely! You are living my ideal holiday right now omg. I hope you enjoy it and spend lots of time having fun with your family and friends. ♥

My plans are... well I basically don't have much of any. I'm having a quiet Christmas here with my parents and a few relatives. All I really know about it is that we have a bunch of presents and our Christmas dinner is lasagna because we don't care a whit about tradition. Really, quiet and small is enough for me~

My dad is pushing to go somewhere for a few days after Christmas, but given how last-minute it is, it probably won't happen.

Christmas lasagna, sounds like my family :) Though I love the lasagna! I hope his last minute planning turns out to be successful and that you enjoy you're holidays ^^

my plans are....

LAZING AROUND DURING MY HOLIDAYS

THAT IS COMPLETELY EPIC AND I ENVY YOU! sob take me with you Marge..

I'm spendinggg it with my boyfriend and his family. :3
n_n/
We've been mostly shopping, everything is all lit up, it's pretty. 83

I love when people decorate for Christmas, it just adds to the feel of the holiday. I hope you have fun with your boyfriend and his family!

SLEEPING. I think Marge wins this contest though :( But yes, I am an absolute sloth during this time so if I can manage to crawl outside, it will be a miracle.

EATING IS ALSO A THING.

Sometimes relaxing is a thing everyone needs to do. 'w'

You don't need to go outside, nothing is there...not even snow u.u (at least where I am haha). I think we need a sleeping and eating appreciation day.

Ooh that sounds like fun!

I'm just planning on having a small family gathering, nothing special.

It'll be special because you're with your family! ~~i'm so cliched~~. Thanks, I hope it'll be fun, I just am a nervous airport person...flying doesn't freak me out, the airport does.

My plans are cramming 10102392 pages into my head and procrastinating on it while playing Fate/stay night and catching up on anime and that’s basically it. :'D

Playing fight/stay night is just as important (if not more) than remembering something...

My plans pretty much consist of working. I work at a bakery so I have to decorate cookies and well do that lovely customer service thing. I was suppose to go to a family dinner Christmas Eve but my boss is being difficult so I'll probably miss it. Besides that hopefully relax and eat lots of yummy food. Hope you have a nice holiday Jeny. =)

Working at a bakery seems tough but rewarding. I hope you made the dinner!

Have fun, Jeny!

Part of my holiday plans has already been completed - my mom, my sister and I traveled up north for my cousin's wedding along with our relatives and a whole lot of people. It was so much fun, and man was it chilly up there. Not like the city down here in the tropics, yeesh.

Then we'll be going to my aunt and uncle's silver wedding anniversary in yet another province (hopefully also cooler than the city), and then we'll celebrate Christmas with my mom's relatives, and New Year with my dad's. In between, I'll probably do some roleplaying and catching up on anime and manga and TV shows. Aaaaaand maybe study. Maaaaaaaaybe. I'm due for a recitation when classes start again most likely, though, so I better hustle!

Edited 2012-12-20 11:11 (UTC)

Thank you! c: It seems like you will be travelling a lot, and I think any province is colder than where I live...not a snowflake to be found. Good luck studying (I understand your woes) and be safe travelling!

I've been hanging out with my cousin and Kuku and I'm supposed to be going to Las Vegas next week, SO LOTS AND LOTS OF TRAVELING LOL...

I'm going to Hawaii in January too awklejralkwjer

i'm ALSO SUPER BEHIND on my sekrit santa for my small group of friends aaaaaand last minute christmas shopping alkwjer go bear...

Hope your holiday's awesome!!

Vegas! Omg...i wanna go to vegas....and Hawaii...take me too??

My plans are completely up to my parents, so we'll probably do what we do every year. Eat dinner, sit in the living room for a while, maybe exchange a couple of presents (even though I already received mine). Then they'll go to sleep and I will stay up until maybe 4 or 5 am, which I do every day, but this day they can't say anything to me XD... Pretty boring if you ask me, but whatevs~

We have the already received present thing in common, I got mine last week...but can't complain. It seems like a good family tradition, even if its not as exciting as jumping out of an airplane over New Zealand (which I have been trying to convince my family would be a great wholesome activity) Hope you enjoy the time with your family :)
