We usually have it at home :)

I will be working a 14 hour shift so I will probably be eating a turkey TV dinner at the radio console alone  :\'(

Don't feel too sorry for me tho- it'll be christmas so that means probably few 911 calls (as long as no one chokes on their dinner- knock wood) and maybe the burglars will stay away as well..... so I can bring my portable DVD player and some of you will be around to keep me entertained.
And I will bring my dog cuz I loves her....

At my home.  Hopefully someone will pick up my father-in-law and entertain him for a few hours.

In years past I had Christmas Eve dinner at my house but not anymore.  I figure since I take take of my father-in-law each and every day the least my sister-in-law could do is have people over to her house for Christmas.  I mean, since my FIL moved in 9 months ago she's only visited him twice and hasn't had him to her house at all. 

I'll be at home this year. My mother will help me cook, and have some friends over.

Usually we have it in California with my family, but sadly, Rice is going to have to do a ton of school stuff in December. So we're sticking around here.

Definitely not going to be the same. :\'(

I do Christmas for my family at my house in New York.

I'll probably be working Christmas .. if they offer me to work on Christmas Day, I'm taking it.  If not, I'll probably go to my Grandmothers.  She makes really good stuffing, and everytime I eat it, I always eat too much of it (cause it's so good) LOL

We are going to Dai's mum.  We've been there for the past few years.

Make sure people know you are expecting this to happen otherwise you could be disappointed.

Probably at my sister's, although it sucks that her kids won't be there (they'll be with their dad in TX).

probably at my parent's house. We usually go to my grandma's house on Christmas Eve night...and then on Christmas Day...my parents have dinner.

At home, of course. Don't care for restaurants on Christmas day. That's the place I do NOT want to be on Christmas day.  :o

Most likely at home.

Since we can't eat ham, though, and turkey is on for Thanksgiving, it will be interesting to see what we arrange this year!

I don't celebrate Christmas,I'm Jewish and most likely,I'll be working that day,who knows?  :(

Do you think Pathmark will be open then?

for some reason..I thought you celebrated both. ???

the family gathering will be at one of Dianes Aunt/Uncle's home here in the Bay Area. if all show up, it should be about 50, not counting friends or additional distant relatives that may be invited. it's a marvelous get together with a wonderful assortment of food and a talent show, usually performed by anyone that wants to sing, play an instrument or perform a sketch. it's a fun tradition. and then presents only for the children that are under 18. this is the first year that Julie will not be on the that list :( but I'm sure those aunties and cousins will hook her up  ;)

I'm not expecting it to happen, I was just complaining.  ;D

I feel much better today, since we decided to head to Orlando the week before Christmas.  We won't be home until Christmas Eve, so now I don't need to worry about anyone else.  The 5 of us are going, we'll get home late on the 24th and get up early on the 25th, open presents and I'll cook a nice meal for us. 

Do you think Pathmark will be open then?


I'm guessing yes but since it's a holiday they might be open.

I don't celebrate christmas,I'm Jewish so once in a while I observe the holidays.

We'll get over to my mom and dad's house on Friday the 21st after work.  Micah's b'day is the 23rd, so we'll celebrate it by going out Saturday night instead--still can't believe she will be 18!  :o

We'll stay through Christmas (no other relatives to visit) and come home on the 27th or 28th.  We used to stay through the New Year, but then they started going to FL right after Christmas.  They aren't leaving til the 3rd this year, but I have a dr appt and M has cheerleading practice during the vacation, so we'll go home before they leave this time.

At home with family and that has not happen for a very long time so i'm excited :)

  At Badfinger Fan's house...

  I just invited myself and my family over to Mike's house for the hollidays.  Were going to see which uninvited guest shows up at his door first and leave the kids with them while I borrow his golf clubs and get in a little 9 hole before dinner...

A Roseville Christmas, sounds like a musical or something. sometimes, that's the only time we see certain family members, at Christmas or Thanksgiving so those traditions need to be maintained.

Like you, I absolutely love the local dungeness crab hauled out of the Pacific Wayne, and I sure hope that damn oil spill in the bay does not contaminate those crustaceans. The season opens on Wednesday and I'm a little worried about whether it will be ok to eat or not  :-\\
