Should have done this a few days ago but w/e. 

Three weeks today will be Christmas Day!
What are your plans for Christmas? What would you like to receive, or what are you getting your friends and family?
Are you even excited about the holidays? xP

For me I am excited, not like I used to be when I was younger, because I no longer get a sack of presents and don't believe in Santa Claus, though I wish I did, the novelty of his existence made Christmas what it was for me more than anything else. I would have believed in him forever if mum hadn't destroyed my theory 2 or 3 years ago.  {blush}
But there's always Christmas Eve, which I favour over Christmas Day itself. I prefer the atmosphere. Always spend the day at my friend's house, then come home to a warm house with my closest relatives over, eating the tastiest food ever and watching a good film or two. Can't beat that. :]

I know I'll get mostly books and small odds-and-ends at Christmas, I'm hoping primarily for money, so I can save half of it and spend the other half on what I prefer *coughnewphonecough*. ;P

No idea what I'm buying my friends yet, I tend to leave Xmas shopping until the last minute. xD

And any of you got your decorations up yet? We're not allowed ours up until usually a week before Christmas, though half of my estate and my friends all have theirs up already. ;O

Anyway, queue random holiday talk...

You wrote Christmas instead of Christmas in the title

And I spend Christmas eve and Day with family, we cook the meal and my grandparents come up to celebrate. This year my mums working Christmas day so we're eating at 2pm.

This year I'm getting a new phone (on contract I hope!) and clothes. Other family getting me money so I can start saving, I want to go to London with Liam and then Wales in summer
I'm not as excited as I used to be knowing that straight after the holidays its my psychology resit and my unit three psychology exam!

Whoops!
And you mean Chistmas? ;D
*changes*

And sounds nice. :]
I prefer simple Christmases over elaborate ones.
You basically want the same as me for Xmas - a new phone, money to save and buy clothes.

Lol, mistaken on my own mistake! -facepalm-

Yup, and Liam's going to drive mine with presents. I can deal with that
I haven't even started buying yet, its scary!

I hate buying presents, because 1. I never know what to get and 2. People always buy me presents that are too expensive when they know I can't afford to give them anything costly back.  {rolleyes}
I don't have too many people to buy for this year, thankfully.

Well I really don't do anything on Christmas Day or Boxing Day except sit around, eating my own body weight in food, watching TV, helping to cook dinner, and while dinner cooks we visit a couple of the my cousin's houses to give them pressies. Gah, it's my cousin's first Christmas this year, baby Martha, haha. xD  Love watching them have their first Christmas. :]

On Xmas Eve I'm going to my friend's house and then her brother usually takes us around the city to look at the lights and grab our traditional 'Xmas binge' where we just sit in the car and practically choke on junk food. And then I go home, tell my mum I haven't eaten since lunch, and help myself to the Roses, Celebrations, etc... 

Christmas has always been my favourite
but when I was little, I little believed that Saint Nick did exist...
but hopefully I get good presents and money
but I hate Christmas too because then it will take a whole year to wait for Christmas again
I wished it snowed from Christmas in my town...
I`ve always wanted to spend the holidays abroad, hopefully I will when I am older

I know the feeling! My boyfriend spent £30 on me already and wants to buy me TS3! I don't even know where to start with him!

We had our fire place covered up when I was little, so I was like 'mum, how does Father Christmas get in then?', and she was like 'he has a golden key to get through our door' and I had to ask 'do murderers and scary people have a golden key to our door as well, because if they do I want to leave this house' . {rolleyes}

I remember putting carrots and mince pies out every Xmas eve for Santa and his Reindeer, lmao. xD

Just tell him 'my love is enough', lmao. {rolleyes}
Then you'll know if it really is enough, rofl. I said that to my first boyfriend for the lulz, even though I had bought him something really, and he looked like he wanted to smack me one, but then again, he was violent and crazy anyway. {rolleyes}
Good luck finding him something, anyway.

I like Christmas Eve too! Last year was just so perfect. The snow was all fluffy and I went with my Mum to buy candles lol! And we came home and ate crackers and patte and yummy...

This year I just want Christmas gone, which is a first for me because all my mom is doing is complaining about what my dad is doing and my dad is just ignoring me x_X

But this year, I've asked for video games, a new camera (I don't know where mine went), gift cards, and clothes because I need new clothes xD For Riley, he's getting new toys as usual <3

I usually don't mind shopping for friends, but I never feel like the presents are good enough. But this year I'm making everyone charm bracelets. I got stuff for like 2 bracelets, but I still have 2 (maybe 3) to make. Also what doesn't help is 2 of my friends have birthdays at the end of Nov. and beginning of December so while Christmas shopping, I have to get them something non-Christmas xD
