[align=left]As for myself it will go something sorta like this:[/align]
[align=left]On the 24th, Jeff and I will stay up into the 25th. Jeff has never done that so we will be starting this new tradition :biggrin:We'll have a lovely (hopefully!), somewhat romantic, dinner. I'm thinking it will either involve seafood or lamb. I haven't quite decided yet.We'll watch the christmas classics on TV, maybe some standup comedy, and perhaps play some games. I have every intention of doing so in my nice comfy pjs! We'll also give each other a little something that night. I'm thinking the pets will get a little something special that night as well :biggrin2:[/align]
[align=left]On the 25th, I will be mostly busy with preparations for the next day because we will have the family over then. However, my family will be celebrating their christmas on that day so we have arranged to open our webcams and microphones to stay in contact. We'll most likely be plugging our computer screens into the TVs as well... My father has a 50something inch TV :expressionlessLol. Most of my day will be spent in the kitchen though as I have a full buffet to prepare for the next day.
[/align]
[align=left]On the 26th (in the Netherlands they have 2 official christmas days), Jeff's family will be coming over. We'll be7 people so not a huge crowd luckily. We will have the buffet set up and we'll play some games, open presents, etc. I think it will be a nice, fun evening. [/align]
[align=left]I *believe* that we will head off to his sister's house on the 31st. In the Netherlands, there are a toooooooooon of fireworks at the New Year's ringing in. It's absolutely amazing. You don't have enough eyes to see! The whole city has fireworks! It's my favorite part. :biggrin2:They also release these 'wish balloons' that are like paper lamps and you can spot them floating away into the sky. Of course there is champagne and food. Usually the food consists mainlyof different fish and seafood. [/align]
[align=left]Then on some other day (not sure when yet), Jeff's father and his wife will be coming down from France. It'll be the first time they see the house as well. We will have them over for a nice fondue dinner
[/align]
[align=left]So that will be our holidays :biggrin2:[/align]
