Since many people are now traveling to be with family for the holidays, I was wondering what the CAG's are doing over this break and what you're doing on Christmas.
My roommate just left this afternoon to head to Mass. until the 7th. I'm leaving tomorrow for Ohio and I'll be there until the morning of the 5th. I'll be hanging out with friends and family for the two weeks and having fun. My parents and I will be going to my Grandma's house on Christmas Eve for Christmas with my Dad's side of the family, it'll probably be weird since my grandpa died a week or so before Thanksgiving. I'm not sure what'll be going on, but I'm still excited to go. I'm looking forward seeing most of my family there since I didn't see any of them during Thanksgiving.
On Christmas Day, my parents and I will be going to one of my Aunt's/Uncle's or my Grandparent's houses to celebrate Christmas with that huge side of the family. I'll be seeing about half of them for the first time since August, which'll be cool. Though we'll be giving gifts before we go there since that's not until the afternoon. I plan to hangout with one of my friends for New Year's and we'll just catch up and play games all night and into the new year. I plan to get many games and stuff with the money I'll be getting. Though if my roommate and I get enough money, we'll be getting a TV for our living room, since there's no reason to sit out there and enjoy it.
What will you be doing?

Since my "break" is only 3 days I will be spending it with the family like every other weekend. It's my daughter's first Christmas though so it should be really fun this year...

my plans were to just hang out, watch some tv, play some games, and rest..
apparently my dads plans look slightly different..
We're having our house built right now, and my dad thought it'd be cool? to start off my christmas vacation by insulating the whole house!
Its funny his idea of me "helping" him and his idea of me "helping" him are slightly different...
his idea of me helping him insulate is him handing me pieces of insulation and telling me to staple them...

Having to go on vacation to P. Rico with the family. Twill be boring as all getout, but ehh, I'll have my brand new DS to ease my pain till I get back 5 days later. When I return, I'll probably melt the mean green giant Xbox with the amount of playtime I'll log.

the whole house building experience has been fun, except the part about me insulating the house.. bad news is i will only be living in the house for like 4 months before i go to college lol.

Christmas day will most likely be playing Halo 2 with my little cousins. Aside from that, I'm going to set up Xbox Live on Thursday, since I have finals until Wednesday, and I'll be online with Halo 2 and Crimson Skies for the duration of my 2 month trial/winter break. And I have to work my cheap muthafuckin ass off, unfortunately.

we are about to move to Florida and my dad plans on building a house. Since he is a firm DIY'er, I expect we will have a house completely made out of concrete.
I think it is going to be so fun to work on building a house, after spending my whole life basically fixing houses

This Xmas Break apparently I'm visiting one of the worst places that I shouldn't go at all or something and going to see a long time friend. So spending time with family first then off to my to friend's.

I have a month off before grad school starts, so it's total relaxation for me. I've been looking forward to "doing nothing" for a long time...

I don't have any travel plans so I figure on mostly hanging out with some friends and schooling my brothers in Halo 2 and finishing a few games I haven't gotten around to.
