My family's version of Christmas cheer.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

I'm laying in bed watching "The X-Files" with my sister, when we suddenly we hear from downstairs...




















Wait for it.































"HAPPY HOLIDAYS? MY ASS!!!!!!!"

Yup. Merry fucking Christmas everyone.

:rofl:

[bridgit]

1. squnity says, "merry freaking x-mas!!"

:hi:

[bridgit]

34. whatever dude...

:rofl:

[Left Is Write]

2. Over here....

we are listening to TSO and drinking adult beverages (well, at least the adults are).

C'mon over!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. I could deal with that.

I'm probably going to end up having dinner at the OG tonight because my family is dumb and can't make proper reservations. It's my sister's birthday dinner.

[ThomCat]

3. I'll be home alone on Christmas so you'll probably

see me online.
:shrug:
That's as much cheer as anyone's going to see out of me.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. i am going to lisas parents on christmas eve

then mine on christmas day...

i am sure my two days will be stressful.

sigh!

i am also working 75 hours this week and the next...so i would literally rather have slept through these two days...

[ThomCat]

5. I wish you a lot of patience

and I hope you get enough sleep. :hug:

Please give Lisa a hug for me. I hope you both survive each other's families.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. she is not comign to mine...i love her too much to subject her to my mom AGAIN...

pri

[ThomCat]

8. You are very kind and considerate.

I'm sure she appreciates that. :)

[Briarius]

6. That sucks dude!

:hug:

[ThomCat]

10. I had company for the start of Hannuka.

And I've never been Christian so it's not a bad thing. Of course, after being inundated with Christmas jingles and advertising it's hard to feel like it's not my holiday too.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. I'll probably be online in the morning, but Christmas Day will be pretty busy

Family stuff at home, then at my favorite aunt's house (probably including a screening of Porno Jim's movie), then probably hanging out with Steph. We drive around and look at the windows of happy families.

:rofl:

[ThomCat]

12. I hope it's fun, and a bit less disfunctional than usual.

:P

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. Well, my grandfather died in the spring, so that's a vast improvement.

Trust me.

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

14. ThomCat...

:hug:

[ThomCat]

16. And to you too!

:hug:

[LostinVA]

21. I'll be alone on Xmas too, Thom

We can chat online.

[ThomCat]

24. I'm sorry that you don't have plans

but I'll be happy to see you online on Christmas. :hug:

[LostinVA]

25. I'll be seeing my parents later in the week

My BIL is a Freeper, and likes to pick fights. Two Xmases ago, I left at about 4:00 am because I was so enraged by him. I'll miss seeing my niece and nephew, but it's easier for my parents this way.

So, I'll spend the day reading, watching dvds, and seeing if I get a drunken call from Haruka. And, now, chatting with you online.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

27. Aww...don't worry, I'll give you a drunken phone call.

:loveya:

13. My SO and I put up decorations last night

Which consist of 6 handmade Pakistani ornaments my sister sent when she was stationed over there (I tacked them up in the living room archway thingy-dingy - that's the technical term) and a stuffed Rudolph, Yukon Cornelius and Abominable Snowman who sit on the stereo. No tree, no gifts, no nuttin else (oh, except the string of orange lights covered with plastic pumpkins that's still strung across the living room wall from Halloween - we decided they can double as Christmas decorations).

I sent out all my gifts yesterday so as far as I'm concerned, Christmas is over and I'll drink to that! :toast:

[aspencer]

17. LOL! -- sounds like holiday cheer is here.

Actually, it sounds a great deal like our family.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. Hey, welcome to DU!

Most of my family is okay, but my grandmother is fairly evil.

Merry Christmas!

[SeattleGirl]

19. Sometimes that sentiment sums it up PERFECTLY!

Thanks for the smile, haruka! :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

20. My grandmother is INSANE!

It was apparently directed at my Aunt Kathy (also insane), who, incidentally, I challenged to a fight on Christmas three years ago. She got in my face first and she backed down.

Good times.

[seemunkee]

22. I was expecting you to say gunfire

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Nah, we do keep some measure of decorum.

Guns and fireworks are for outside only.

[buddhamama]

23. i love the X-Files

Sci-Fi use to have a 24 hour X-Files marathon every Thanksgiving, it was my holiday tradition.

With holidays come stress. :toast:

[Redstone]

28. Some fun, eh?

Redstone

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

29. Yeah, fortunately, the rest of the evening went much better.

We went out to a nice dinner for my sister's 19th birthday, then I came home and talked to my favorite DUer on the phone.

[Redstone]

30. So a good night on balance, and what more could you ask for? Well, you COULD

ask for more, but it's not likely you'd get it.

Enjoy your holidays, ms h32k.

Redstone

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Thank you. Enjoy your holidays, too.

That extends to the whole Redstone clan, including the new additions.

[Redstone]

32. The puppy is welded to my leg and dozing, and the cat is draped on my bad shoulder, keeping

it warm, and dozing as well. They both thank you, as do I. I'm a happy SOB right now. You be happy too, you hear?

Redstone

[ghostsofgiants]

33. Haha, awesome.

I've been watching a lot of The X-Files lately. Just finished off season one last night. Started season two today, haha.
