This year I will be going to Diva's pre-thanksgiving dinner since I live 7 minutes away. On actual Thanksgiving I'm not sure what I will be doing. Me and Gemme will find something to do or have something ourselves.

For Christmas I have no clue. Again I don't like Christmas so hopefully it will involve Chinese food and a movie.

Have I mentioned I don't like Christmas?

I dont like it either and Chinese Food and a movie sounds DIVINE! I like Halloween!

I love love love Halloween. It's the only day I can dress like a total goober and get away with it. I can't wait!! I like passing out candy and seeing all the costumes and seeing who's mom made their costume.

All of my family whoever they are are christian I'm Jewish so I only celebrate Hanukkah and Thanksgiving but don't usually do anything on those days. Its too much to cook a whole turkey on Thanksgiving. This year I think I will be moving to a warmer climate so maybe there will be something I can do there. Like the beach??

Duck n cover.
We will not be going to anyones home this year...yey!
We will have dinner at our home for a change, minus the in-laws I have a feeling.

I decided ealier in the year that I would come up with logical political reasons to not celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was a beautiful dream, I would skip both holidays and be politicaly ultra correct at the same time!

It did not work.
I was laughed at.

Seriously, even thinking about the holidays is making me anxious.

I told Nice Ex that I wanted to volunteer somewhere for Thanksgiving, and

She found an excellent place to do that.

It was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me.

I will be off on Thanksgiving and New Years, this year. I've put in my leave request for my birthday off, too, so that would give me an extra long New Year's weekend, since my birthday, which is on a Thursday this year, bumps up on my regularly scheduled weekend off.

I don't mind working Christmas weekend this year, nor have I in previous years. I usually volunteer to work it so that my coworkers who have children can enjoy a Christmas Day with them. I collect the holiday pay, in return.

What am I thinking?? I collect holiday pay (double time) for all 3 holidays.

For thanks giving we will be having it here and we will cook up a feast
maybe we will invite a few friends
the tree usually goes up thanks giving day
however (see pic of evil kitty in gallery) due to bandits arrival this year
that tradition will probably change this year
we will have to decide what we are willing to tolerate kitty/tree wise

christmas eve I am off and it will be us
and we will have dinner and open gifts
we will have picked out our own gifts
(it took Corkey a bit to see the brilliance of this, but he is now a convert)
each of us gets the same amount of money to get what we want and it goes under the tree
no shocks no disappointments etc

christmas day I work but not till afternoon

I love holidays. I would love to go all out for Halloween, but usually I end up working. *sigh*

Thanksgiving has never been much of anything in my family, except for another excuse to head to the condo in Daytona for another small vacay.

We do all Christmas celebrating on Christmas Eve day. It starts around 10am with nonstop food, presents, comradarie, games and just good times that last till late evening. Christmas Day is usually another good day to head to the condo again...lol

Not sure what will happen this year since Dad just had shoulder replacement surgery and is gonna be out of commission for quite some time.
