Seems we've all been pretty busy and not been talking much about our Christmas plans.

For all those that do not celebrate Christmas - this thread is not for you.

What's the plans for your family this year?

My daughter and husband will be getting in tomorrow night from St. Louis! (my son and his wife live here)

Christmas Eve morning we plan to have a big southern breakfast, then bake some more cookies together! The guys will do guy things.

We will have dinner Thursday night, then open presents!!! Eat all the sweets!!! Watch Christmas Vacation and whatever other movie they decide.

Christmas morning I'm making Paula Deen's Hashbrown Quiche (eating lighter), then we'll have a BIG OLE Christmas Turkey/Dressing Dinner around 1:00.

I cannot wait to have my little family all together this year in my new house!

What are "guy things"?

Are there seriously those on AFF that do not celebrate Christmas? I keep seeing barbs thrown at those who don't but I haven't actually seen anyone say they don't.

Wii, basketball, watching football, etc.

Yes, there are many that do not and I didn't mean to throw a barb out - just didn't want to offend them with this thread.

"throw a barb". Not the best choice of words. Typing fast and nothing else arrived in my mind. "Point it out" "Call attention to", etc.

You know, I'm often thrashed because I'm not "apostolic" enough. But I think it's very un-apostolic not to celebrate Christmas. I'm gonna find out who those people are here so I can go accuse them of not being apostolic!!!

Oh.....I'm offended at the suggestion that "guy things" is always related to football and sports. What about guys that don't like sports? Did you consider those?

What did I do...?!!!!!

Seriously...we are having our annual Christmas Eve thing at my house to open presents.

It's usually 'open house', as brothers go to be with in laws and single and married nieces and nephews do their own thing...

So, I'm fixing chicken enchiladas, taco salad, sausage and cheese puffs, cheese and chili dip, and not sure what else.

Christmas morn we will go to my youngest brother's home for breakfast, and than chill for the remainder of the day.

Saturday we are having Christmas dinner here...ham, and all of the usual fixin's...

Looking forward to a nice time of rest and fellowship with family.
