[Kätzchen]

I don't really celebrate the typical holidays during the months of fall or winter; but I generally spend time with chosen, long-time dear friends doing some sort of project together that is either something someone hasn't had time yet to get done (home/household projects -- remodel projects) or we generally all go out for dinner as a group or we invent our own progressive potluck party:

One time it turned out that we each made a portion of the meal, but we drove to each person's home to have that specific part of the meal. Of course, we vote on whether we go out for dessert or such. It depends on the amount of people who have time to spend a holiday together.

If it's just me, I wait until the holiday is over and then choose a day of the holiday week to go do something special on my own. I actually like making my own special holiday plans for my own special 'holiday'. I like those the best. But I also enjoy spending time with long-time, dear friends. We've all known each other for years; so when we get together, it's like a reunion party of sorts.
