Your Christmas Plans

[PF52]

I'm looking forward to a quiet weekend at home. We're relatively busy at work, for December that is. Weather has been mild so construction is still going full speed ahead (as much as it can this time of year). We already have some people on winter layoff and most of the deadwood is already on holiday mode and are off also or are just killing time in the office. So I am super busy in the office. Clients call in with late calls and I can't get their jobs covered because no one wants to work. The irony being, the guys still working are working because their seniority lets them work through the winter, but they don't want to do anything other than the bare minimum and they're done for the day at 1PM.

We'll drive about ninety miles north to see son and grandson. Always nice to see them and grandson is getting lots of Lego, which he enjoys putting together.

Usually Christmas Eve we go out to dinner with my wife's family about 12 of us. We used to host it at my house my wife and I cooking a traditional Italian fish festival but tons of work no help..Now out to a Italian restaurant I pick up the bill no hassle no cooking no clean up best decision I ever made. Christmas Day my brother and his family come over serving a nice cold antipasto,then a lasagna later that night s spiral cut ham with some trimmings.

Wife is headed to Mexico tomorrow to visit family for Christmas. She'll be gone two weeks. I'll be home watching our dogs and tending to the home front. No plans for Christmas. Probably just visit my mother's grave, call my dad back east, and watch TV.

Go visit dad it's never too late to book a flight and surprise him

Wife creates a wonderful Breakfast that me, my 2 kids, my mom, my aunt and uncle, my in laws, and son in law will devour. Then we open presents, usually finish around 1pm. Then it is time to watch football (at least 1 nap).

Well I came down with the flu last night... so no deliciuos breakfast casseroles for me

I wish we were that way. I'm having a terrible time finding something for my wife. Clothes are out as the last two occasions she's complained that I buy her stuff that looks like what I bought for my mom.

Get her a gift certicate to a spa for a visit. Just an idea.

Get her gift certificates for a couple stores. Ulta, the clothing places she likes (check the tags man), etc

Our family doesn't do Christmas gifts other than for the kids and some treats for the adults. I think we all prefer to buy ourselves what and when we want it rather than be at the mercy of someone else's questionable taste.

Same here. Except I do buy my son in law some good stuff, because he is the son I never had.
