It's upon us again!
How do you celebrate the holidays?
I'm personally a Catholic so I will begin celebrating Advent starting on Sunday and midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.
I'll also be spending time with friends and family.
How will you be spending yours?

Doing nothing untill 24th, then most likely a family dinner and the same thing at 25th and 26th.
Last Christmas was with my little sister (other sister and brother were with their other halfs familys, and parents at work), and the christmas before that i was in the military, so hoping it will be a proper christmas this year.

Pretty much all in my family have stopped caring about presents since teen years.
In old finnish pagan tradition Santa used some horns in a shaman related ritual to turn himself into a goat and wondered from house to house to drink the offered alcohol. Does that sound like something Coca Cola would invent? :P The red coat and the "pleasent old man" image are from the Coca Cola santa, though. But my christmas does not involve Santa Claus, never really had. To me its just christmas decoration like any other.
TBH, i think Christmas is what you make it out to be. To me its "quality time" with the family.

and whilst we'll enjoy any presents we recieve, we'll be enjoying the presents that we give.

I am going with my family to Australia to meet some relatives :)
Going to spend it however they are spending it down there. Do not really know their traditions, so I will take it as it comes.
